 Weekly Notes from Joey Freddy Larsen

Hey superstars,

Quick reminder:

You’re not waiting for your big break.
You’re creating it.

We’re about to announce the Audition Hero Contest Grand Prize Winner, and let me tell you... some of these performances poked me right in the heart (and soul).

 Courage.
 Commitment.
 Craft.

That's the real magic formula.

Every finalist made a conscious choice:

 To invest time.
 To invest energy.
 To invest LOVE into their own careers.

They didn’t wait for someone else to hand them the spotlight.

They became the spotlight. 

Are you willing to go ALL IN on yourself?

Because the next success story could be your story.

Today is the last day to vote for your Audition Hero 2025

 Actor Win of the Week: Brandon Knox

Big shoutout to Brandon Knox, who’s been on set this month shooting a Netflix series!  

Brandon’s a living example that when you consistently show up, train hard, and keep doing the work even when nobody’s watching...

The world starts watching.

Brandon is also one of our fantastic coaches inside AAC, available to help you shoot your next standout audition. Book an audition coaching session HERE
