Casting directors love actors whose training and preparation allows them to bring depth and authenticity to the role. Your face, your body, your height, your age come less into play now than it did years ago. There has never been a better time to audition. Self-tapes are the best thing that happened to actors. You don’t have to travel to your audition, sit in a tiny waiting room with your heart pounding out of your chest, deal with your nerves, and then get to do your scene once, maybe twice. Self-tapes give you the freedom to focus exclusively on your work and prepare a performance quality selftape on your own time. All you need is a killer audition technique!
Lev guides you through each step of his innovative Audition Mastery Technique; breaking down your scene, making powerful organic choices, crafting an authentic compelling character, and taping an audition that blows casting directors away.

I first met Lev on the 2nd season of HBO’s “The Wire,” where we both played the bad guys. It was clear from the start that Lev had a deep understanding of acting and he often gave me suggestions for my performance. Within moments he would give me fantastic choices perfect for my character that crushed it and made the final cut. Throughout the past 20 years, Lev coached me on numerous projects. He worked with me on every episode on my recent Netflix comedy, coming out Fall 2024. I was literally onset between shots being coached by him. I loved working with Lev. What sets him apart is that he is a working actor himself which allows him to offer great insights outside the box. I’ve recommended him to friends over the years. Lev is just an amazing dude and has become a close friend as well over the years.

I first discovered Lev after watching his incredible work as an actor with a two season arc on For All Mankind on Apple TV. He has an indescribable way of inhabiting a character that glues you to your screen. When I heard that he coaches, I was thrilled for the opportunity when I got an audition for S.W.A.T. It was a physical and delightfully evil role. Lev made me feel alive! And we had fun! One of the scenes included a fight with a lot of directions. Often wondering how to play something like that on a self-tape, Lev broke it down for me and simplified it in a way that the physical struggle blended seamlessly with the emotional. What I also truly appreciated was his honesty. Lev pushes you to your limits and gets the best out of you. He takes a lot of pride in his work and won’t end the session until you’re truly ready! Needless to say, I booked the role.
Benny Iler
Lev coached me for The Godfather Of Harlem. There weren’t a ton of lines in the scene, but Lev helped me create the feeling of the place in which the scene was taking place. There was also a lot of physical action, but with Lev’s direction I was able to make that action seem like it was truly happening, instead of just standing in front of the camera and waiting for my next line. He coached me as if I was reading for a series regular part. Lev helped me emphasize the sensory elements to make the scene come to life. I stopped thinking and committed to doing, which made the scene real! Ultimately, I booked the role and it was pretty much exactly what I did on the day we filmed. My work in that small scene led to being added into two more episodes and then coming back as a recurring guest-star for the next season.
