Avoid the Traps. Deliver Credible Work on Set.
Preparing Historical Roles.
Introducing: The workbook + video/audio training for actors and screenwriters.

What You Will Learn
Start Fast
Watch the quickstart, pick one scene and one question, move. Skip the book pile — start doing, not drowning.
Build From Real Bits
Collect objects and tiny fragments (receipts, notes, tickets). Clock staged eyewitness stories. Keep contradictions — they make people human.
Beat the Research Spiral
Set a stop rule, shift it from head to body, run a guided ethics/erasure check, export your role pack (scene brief + emotional entry + red-flag checklist).
Optional Live Sessions
Buyers get early access offers and occasional discounts to special webinars.
Inside The Workbook + Video Training + Private Podcast
You’ll get full access to the PDF workbook and the recorded webinar-style walkthrough when the bundle goes live in December 2025. You’ll also receive pre-release setup instructions so you’re ready on day one.
Watch or listen, your choice.
Stream the walkthrough like a class — or add the secret podcast feed to your favourite podcast app and listen on the go. The book comes as a downloadable PDF you can print and fill in, so you can actively work through the exercises.
Includes: Video • Full audio (secret podcast) • PDF book • Additional worksheets (not in the Amazon edition)
