About this service
What should I do about rep? Can you look at my resume? When should I send an e-blast? What footage should I use for my reel? What kind of headshots are right for me?
These are the questions Abbie answers every day — as a working actress, a studio owner, an author, and a keynote speaker who’s been in this industry for over two decades.

Whether you’re brand new and don’t know what to do first, or you’ve been working for years and something still isn’t clicking — this is the conversation you’ve been needing.

FAQ
Is this different from private coaching?
Yes. Private coaching focuses on acting technique and performance. Career strategy focuses on the business side — your brand, your materials, and your plan.
Do I need experience to book this?
No. Career strategy is valuable at any stage. If you’re just starting, we’ll help you build a foundation. If you’ve been at it, we’ll help you refine.
Can I do this over Zoom?
Yes. Career strategy sessions work great remotely. In-person is also available at our Toluca Lake studio.
