Acting Coaching Services: Scene Breakdown & Audition Prep

Two things. Done thoroughly.

Scene breakdown and audition prep — that's it. Every session is 1:1 over Zoom. You bring the sides, or I'll pick material that stretches you. We work until the scene feels yours.

The foundation

Add-on

Actor's Package Review

Asynchronous · written notes · $60 flat

Headshot, résumé, and demo reel reviewed together — as one package, the way casting and reps actually see them. You'll get written notes on each piece individually and on how they read as a whole, with the one or two changes that will move the needle most.

  • Headshot — does it look like you, and does it sell a type?
  • Résumé — formatting, credit hierarchy, what to cut
  • Demo reel — order, length, opening shot, dead weight
  • How the three pieces read together
  • Notes back within 5 business days

"I've been acting for several years now and have never been taught a more in-depth and character oriented breakdown than the one Frank Parrillo teaches!"

— J Sabina

"Frank has taught me more than I'd ever learned about acting before stepping foot in his school. Scene breakdown was me memorizing lines and how I would say them in that situation, but it's so much more than that. It's the little intricacies of what the scene is really about and what my character wants and needs. Where have I come from and where do I want to go. I really wouldn't be where I am now without him."

— D Jones
