I wrote this guide for people like me — folks stepping into acting later in life, unsure if it was too late. But the truth is: these mindset shifts help anyone who’s just starting, starting over, or feeling stuck.

It’s honest. It’s no-fluff. It’s exactly what I wish I’d had when I began.

You don’t need to be younger. Or discovered.
You just need to start.

What you’ll get inside:

This isn’t a training manual. It’s your mindset starter kit. Inside, you’ll learn:

  • Honest answers about what acting really is (and what it definitely isn’t)

  • A myth-busting take on age, experience, and why late bloomers have the edge

  • A clear-eyed look at rejection, self-doubt, and how to keep going anyway

  • Real stories from someone who started at 60—and is still working today

  • Smart warnings to help you avoid scams, spirals, and expensive detours

What You’ll Learn Inside

✔ Get Clear on Why You’re Doing This

Define what acting really means to you—so every step you take from here makes sense for your life, your goals, and your values.

✔ Build Confidence Without Fancy Gear

Forget headshots and demo reels (for now). Learn how to ease in through background work and small, smart steps.

✔ Handle Rejection Like a Pro

Auditions aren’t failures—they’re invitations. Learn the real mindset shift that keeps working actors in the game.

This Isn’t a Class. It’s a Wake-Up Call

You don’t need another overpriced workshop or another actor shouting “just believe in yourself” like that’s the whole plan.

Start Where You Are is different. It’s a straight-talking, no-fluff guide for anyone who’s ever thought:

“Am I too old for this?”
“Is it too late to start?”
“Do I really belong here?”

If you’ve got those questions? You belong here more than ever.

Already Read It? Tell Me What You Think.

This guide is still new, and your feedback genuinely helps.

If it sparked something, cleared something up, or gave you a much-needed kick in the pants — I want to know.

Your words might be the nudge someone else needs to finally start.

👉 Leave a quick testimonial here

This guide was written by a working actor, Navy vet, and late starter who knows what it’s like to feel behind — and how to move forward anyway.

P.S. I didn’t write this for everyone. I wrote it for people like me — folks who started later, who care more about the craft than the spotlight, and who are finally giving themselves permission to try.
But here’s the thing:
You don’t have to be over 50 to feel behind.
If you’re ready to stop stalling and start something real — this is for you.

Let’s go.
