Private Coaching
Apply For 1:1 Coaching With Dean
Three sessions a month. Half craft. Half career and business. Built around the Character of Me framework, woven through thirty years of working actor reality. For actors who already train and need a partner, not a curriculum.
What you get
- Three private 1:1 sessions per month, one hour each
- Session-by-session work on the audition in front of you and the next one coming
- The Character of Me framework woven into every session
- Industry guidance from someone still booking on Netflix and Marvel
- A coach who has worked from every seat: actor, casting, agent, director, producer
Who This Is For
This is for you if
You want a real coaching partner, not a curriculum.
You have a real career goal in the next 12 months.
You are willing to do the work between sessions.
You can hold a 3 or 6 month commitment without flinching.
This is not for you if
You are looking for someone to motivate you to want it.
You think one session will fix the work.
You want generic coaching. Find someone cheaper.
You will not commit to taping and bringing the work in.
New to acting? You are welcome here. Start by joining TiLT so you have community, courses, and the Audition Lab between sessions, then layer privates on top when you are ready to invest in 1:1 work.
The Process
This page is the application. Six questions. Five minutes. After you finish, you will see the package pricing. If a package is the right investment for you, you choose it and we book your first session. If it is a stretch but you know you need this work, you make a case for a scholarship rate. Dean reviews every application personally. You hear back within 48 hours.
Your Application Is In Front Of Dean
Pick Your Package
Two duration commitments. One cadence: three private sessions per month. Pick the one that matches where you are. The longer commitment carries the lower per-session rate.
Starter Commit
For actors stepping into private work for the first time or coming back from a break. Three months is enough to feel real movement and build a workable rhythm. Renew or extend at the end if the work calls for it.
The Real Run
Six months is where the deeper Character of Me work lands and the career conversation gets real. Built for actors with a real goal and the willingness to commit to it for two full quarters.
Scholarship Path
If one of these packages is what you need but the investment is a stretch right now, make the case. Tell Dean why this work matters to you, where you are in your career, and what you are willing to invest. Dean reviews every scholarship pitch personally and will offer a discounted rate if your situation calls for it. There is no shame in asking. There is only the work.

The Honest Recommendation
This Is The Right Move For You Right Now
Honest about the investment matters. Most actors who try to start with privates burn through their budget before the work compounds. The actors who win do it the other way: build the foundation in the community, then layer privates in when craft and budget catch up to each other at the same time.
What you get inside TiLT for $57 a month
- The full course library, beginner to advanced. Hours of training Dean has built over twenty years of coaching.
- Weekly Friday sides built around real audition scenes. Two scenes a week to keep the work alive.
- Thursday Audition Lab with live tape review by Dean.
- The Character of Me framework woven through every layer.
- A community of working actors who hold each other accountable to the work.
- Direct visibility into the world Dean's private students live in, without the private investment.
$57 monthly. $550 annual saves $134 (more than two months free) and unlocks the bonus chapter from The Actor's Gift To Manifest on day one.
When you have put in months inside the community and the budget catches up, the application is here waiting. We will know each other from the work by then.
If you want to make a case anyway and feel privates are the right move now even at a stretch, see the packages and pitch a scholarship rate. Dean reads every pitch personally.
Done
Your Application Is In
Dean reviews every application personally. Expect a reply within 48 hours, often faster. If you pitched a scholarship, the reply will include the rate Dean is offering you.
Summary you can save
While you wait, the work does not. Two suggestions:
- Take the Know Your Type assessment if you have not yet. Bring the result to your first session and we will reverse engineer your audition strategy from it.
- Join TiLT Acting Skool while you wait. The community work compounds and your private sessions land harder when you are already in the rhythm.
