talent? no. it’s all about process.

i’ve watched musicians who have gone through years of audition rejections make just one or two simple tweaks in their process and suddenly advance for the first time. imagine how your next audition could be different if you found the root causes of your biggest audition struggles and corrected them, one by one. imagine what you could accomplish with a professional-level audition preparation process.

so… how long are you going to wait to start auditioning the right way?

 

how many more calls to your friends and family saying, “i thought everything was pretty good, but it just didn’t work out this time”? how much longer are you going to put up with feeling panic when the next audition is getting closer and closer?

sure… you could just keep doing what you’ve been doing and hope for the best. or we can go on this journey together in rob’s inner circle and barrel through every last audition struggle, once and for all.
