Working with Adam Klein was an incredibly valuable use of both my time and money. I’m thoughtful about how I invest my resources, and this collaboration was absolutely worth it. Adam helped illuminate the essentials of compelling storytelling that draw the listener in and make them want to know more about you, to understand your worldview, and why you are the way you are.
I already know I’m a dynamite personality, but Adam helped me translate that energy into a story that would be best received. Storytelling is a skill. It’s something we can learn, refine, and be coached on. And in any part of my life, if I want to improve, I hire a coach to help me get there faster.
Adam was absolutely the right person to work with to get where I wanted to go.

I came into this basically not knowing which way was up—first time applying, not sure what to include or how to style anything—and Adam could not have been more helpful. I went from having a substandard product to something that, after multiple iterations, I was really proud of. Adam is seriously the best and I would happily recommend him to *anyone* going through this process. Seriously, the best.
Thank you!!

Working with Adam pays for itself on so many different avenues of this crazy journey we all strive to walk down! We all know we can do what we apply for, but getting casting to agree is a huge hurdle! Adam's expertise and analysis of my video helped me turn to an angle I didn't know existed through second by second breakdowns and advice! His coaching gives my heart and head ease in knowing I put my best foot forward to display my best angle for casting, regardless of outcome! I would 100% work with him again (and I am going to)!

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Adam and my experience working with him. From the very first meeting, he immediately understood me and what I was going for, which put me at ease right away. I had never done anything like this before, and the difference between my first video and my final video was night and day.
Adam is very direct in his feedback—which was exactly what I needed—and he knew how to push me to bring out my best self. His insight into the industry is truly invaluable. If you are even remotely considering applying for any show, save yourself the trouble and start with him—you’ll be glad you did.
Five stars across the board! Here’s to hoping my dreams turn into a "reality!"

After a few attempts at application by myself, having Adam to work with this go-round lead me to finishing a video I felt confident in. He consistently provides great and HONEST feedback in a way that is needed. The entire time I felt like he was really in my corner, not just cheering me on but showing me where I can improve any chance possible. Time and money well worth spent!

Adam is an incredible coach. He helped me refine my audition video into something I’m truly proud of. His eye for detail can transform your video from a ‘no’ into a ‘we need this person on the show.’ I can’t recommend him enough.

Adam completely changed my approach to these audition videos. Rather than changing who I am as a person or helping me create a character, he helped to find the best parts of me to highlight and really helped to emphasize why these are important. This helped me not only include better content in my videos, but really helped to solidify the flow and narrative I wanted to display. He gave me the confidence to really put myself out there and paint the picture of "me". He was also extremely honest with me. You want someone to tell you when something doesn't work as this will only help you to grow. Adam came in hot and I loved how willing he was to say when he disliked something a lot. I would rather hear from him instead of casting. His first time watching my videos was on zoom with me so that I could experience his initial reactions. This honesty also gave his compliments a stronger impact. On top of all of that, he cares. He has responded to any question, any follow-up, or any comment with all that he knows. Using all of what he has taught me, I was able to land my spot as a contestant on Season 1 of 99 To Beat on Fox and I'm hoping to keep going from there! 10/10 recommend working with Adam.

Adam is the best thing that could have ever happened to my Survivor casting journey. His advice is not only spot on, but you can tell he's genuinely invested in your success. My video / story is 100 times better than where we started at, and it's all thanks to Adam. Will be using him every year until I'm out there on the mat!!!!

Adam not only understands who you are in such a short amount of time, but can really get to the core of what makes you an interesting person and helps you bring that to like in a video. He is patient and honest, and is as invested as your are. My time working with Adam has been nothing short of phenomenal and I've never doubted his ability to do right by me!

Adam was direct and detailed in his review of my drafts. I didn't know where to start and he helped me find the best/ most interesting parts of my personality to highlight and help me stand out. He was honest and professional. It was helpful and genuinely fun to work with someone who knows exactly what he's doing. I know that this is by far the best audition I've ever made and I couldn't have done it without his guidance. I would definitely recommend working with him!

Working with Adam has been an absolute Game Changer!
After years of applying I was definitely in a rut, too in my head about the entire process, and in real need of a reset. Adam helped make filming an audition tape FUN again. His feedback is both honest and actionable, and just a single session helped me recognize the disconnect between my authentic self and the person I'd been portraying on camera. After just a few weeks, my confidence is soaring again. I've produced a video I am proud of and that I'm confident showcases the real me.
I wish I had taken advantage of this sooner, and I cannot recommend Adam's services enough!

When I started working with Adam I thought I was just signing up for a few personal tweaks—maybe a couple of fresh ideas to tighten things up. What I got instead was a full-on MASTERCLASS in STORYTELLING. Adam didn’t just give me notes, he completely reframed how I looked at my audition and helped me find the heart of it. I thought my tape was solid—Adam made me realize it was anything but.
What really stood out is how present he is. From the second you start working with him, it’s all about you. No distractions, no going through the motions—he’s locked in. It’s rare to find someone that focused, and honestly, it was refreshing. He tells you the truth, even if it stings a little, but he always follows it up with clear direction that makes you better.
By the time we wrapped up, I didn’t just have a stronger audition—I had a new way of thinking about storytelling. Adam made my tape sharper, more authentic, and way more memorable. If you want someone who’ll push you, truly care about your success, and help you stand out from the pack, Adam is the guy. He’s the difference between being good and being unforgettable.

Working with Adam was a phenomenal experience. While obviously my casting video was drastically improved, I also feel I am a much better storyteller and speaker now. Adam also took the time to get to know me on a personal level and I looked forward to each session! 10/10 would recommend - thank you Adam you the man!!!!!!

Working with Adam was one of the best decisions I made in my Survivor casting journey. He has such a thoughtful, encouraging way of helping you bring out the most genuine version of yourself. What I appreciated most is that he doesn’t try to change you or suggest you ‘perform’. Instead, he helps you dig into your own stories and personality so that your true self shines through. Adam creates a safe, supportive space that makes the process fun, exciting, and deeply authentic. I walked away not only more confident in my casting process, but also with a clearer sense of how to share who I am. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

This was my first time working with Adam and it was definitely money well spent! Right from our first introduction, Adam was very quick to get down to business and upfront about what the process would look like. In our first meeting, he made sure I understood that he was there to give constructive criticism and throughout the meeting it was very clear he knew what he was doing! We went through every second of my first draft application video and dissected what worked and what didn't and why. The context he was able to provide behind each of his points ensured that I was able to learn and grow with my next video draft.
In the end, I feel really good about where we ended up for my application! Adam was always easy to get ahold of and I never doubted he was always present and ready to give intentional advice/critiques. While I hope to only use Adam's services once, I most certainly plan on reaching out to him again next casting cycle if I need to!

Working with Adam was a game-changer for my Survivor audition. He helped me see and hear my story in a completely new way, shaping it so it was more compelling, personal, and memorable. The Zoom recordings were especially valuable because I could revisit the sessions and catch the exact way he explained something or the delivery he suggested. Thanks to his coaching, I made significant progress in a short time and landed on an audition I’m genuinely proud of.

Adam asked me if I could win, and I watched myself sheepishly shrink back and say, “Um… yeah, I can…” That’s when I knew that was the crux of my problem. And so did he.
Adam is the best! He wants this for you as much as you want it for yourself. He helps you discover things and grow into yourself. Working with someone who can instill that belief can change everything in your casting video and beyond.
Sometimes we’re too close to our own story, and Adam helps you see your life from new perspectives. He’s fun, hella charming, and a joy to work with. He’s the best kind of coach: he sees what you want, sharpens your focus, and brings out the best in you for your video.

Working with Adam was fantastic! He helps you understand how to put your best foot forward. He's a wealth of knowledge and I highly recommend taking him up on his incredibly honest reality TV audition advice.

I worked with Adam a few years ago, and I thought he was extremely good at his job back then. I could tell how invested he was in helping bring out my true story and motivations. Fast forward to now, three years later, and his aptitude for drawing your story out and cutting through BS has grown exponentially. Adam is passionate about what he does, takes zero shortcuts, and genuinely wants the best for his clients. He was passionate then, and he’s even more passionate now. That’s such a rare quality to find.
Adam has an uncanny ability to watch your video, and immediately know what’s real and what’s fake, and he’s going to be honest. If you want to create the best audition tape possible, this is EXACTLY what you need. Not only will Adam knock his job of helping you create a phenomenal audition tape out of the park, but he’ll help you understand your own story and why you are who you are. I’m so glad that after three years I decided to work with Adam again. If you’re on the fence about working with Adam, I promise it’s worth it.

Adam has been great to work with. I know that my video submission is constructed in a way that tells my story exactly the way I wanted to because of Adam. I purchased the premium package and it was worth every penny. If I don’t make it this cycle, I will be working with him again. Thank You Adam!!

Adam's advice is truly unparalleled—he will help take your story and your audition video to a place you never even thought of before. His insight into the casting process, what producers are looking for, and how to best tell your story is invaluable. You might think your first version of your video is good... I promise he will make it 100x better. If you're on the fence, just pull the trigger and work with him. If playing Survivor is your dream, having this kind of guidance and help in casting is worth it 10 times over.

Adam completely revamped the way I approached my video. I was stuck in an endless cycle of "saying what I thought casting wanted to hear." Adam helped me focus on my story and present it in a concise and interesting way. Looking back on my audition drafts from before meeting with Adam compared to my final submitted video, the difference is like night and day. I couldn't be more thankful for his help. If you're thinking about signing up for coaching with Adam - DO IT. I was skeptical at first and decided to take a chance, and I am unbelievably glad I did.

I’ve been making audition videos for years with no luck, and then I started working with Adam. His honest feedback and attention to even the most precise details have completely transformed how I approach telling my story. He doesn’t tell you what to say or what casting wants to hear, he simply helps you put together a compelling video that shows the best version of yourself. With Adam’s help and encouragement, I’ve been able to dig deep and discover why I am who I am, and tell my story in a way that makes me stand out. I am more confident now than I’ve ever been. I don’t think I could have gotten here without Adam. I truly couldn’t recommend him enough!

I'm a big believer if you're going to do something, go all in! This is why I sought after Adam's expertise when making my casting tape. Go to the best of the best in order to put your best foot forward! Adam was genuinely interested in what made me tick as a human being, and who I was as person so he could help my craft casting tape. He's picky and detail oriented which lends to his precision of accuracy in storytelling. My original video missed the mark in telling WHO I was and he was able to redirect and inspire stories I hadn't thought of telling. I feel confident in my final video and am excited to see where it lands me! Couldn't have done it without Adam!
Matthew
Really happy with what Adam and I were able to produce..he has a really keen sense for narrative and, frankly, cutting through the BS.
Because of Adam’s really keen insight over three sessions, I’ve got an audition that has much clearer angle and feels more true to myself.
Highly recommend, but do come with thick skin!
Tina
I've been working w/ Adam for years. He has helped me with public speaking, being engaging, commanding presence in my own way and with my unique voice & is a really cool bold person. I am still working on Survivor but I DID land my dream job in an incredibly tough market with a 6 figure salary and in the space I am most passionate. I know Adam's coaching helped me get to the best possible version of myself to make my candidacy for the role. First, work. Next, Survivor!!!
James Quinn
The first two videos I sent Adam were filled with unnecessary slop and quite frankly, were very bad. Adam was able to pull enough key details out of those videos to help me focus on one interconnecting story. I just went through my final session with him and he was able to explain my life back to me like I was watching it on tv and we were able to determine key lessons throughout my life that have shaped me every step of the way to tell one connecting story. I'm so confident that my final submission will be one that I'm proud of and depicts my life perfectly. I can't say enough how helpful Adam has been and I can't recommend his services enough. Even if I'm not contacted, I'm proud of what we were able to put together.

Working with Adam on my Survivor audition video was one of the best decisions I’ve made — not just for the video itself, but for the ripple effect it had on the rest of my life.
Adam didn’t just help me create a compelling, authentic, and high-energy audition; he helped me find my story — and how to tell it. His guidance went beyond gameplay or camera presence. He taught me how to frame my experiences, own my voice, and connect emotionally through storytelling.
The wild part? I ended up using those same storytelling skills to land a new job I’m incredibly passionate about. I didn’t just walk away with a kick-ass audition video — I walked away with tools I’ll use for the rest of my life.

Working with Adam as my casting coach has truly been an incredible experience. He is such a genuine person and is a master of his craft. He gave direct, honest feedback in a way that builds you up and gives you the confidence you need.
He helped my find what was missing and pushed me to look at my video, myself, and my life from another angle. One I would have never seen on my own and it completely changed the perspective of how I approached my audition.
I haven't been casted yet, but I know if I get the call to move forward in the casting process, I know I will have a better chance with Adam in my corner. I'm beyond grateful and it has been a true pleasure working with Adam.
Thank for everything Adam!

From day one, Adam got it. He zeroed in on the habits that were holding me back and—gently but firmly—showed me exactly where I was tripping myself up.
Step by step, he walked me through a process that didn’t just level up my video—it leveled up my life. I became more aware of how I show up in the world. I started giving myself credit for the wins I used to overlook. And I began noticing the meaningful moments in the lives of others too.
By the end of our time together, yeah, I had a version of my video I feel confident with. But more than that, I had a version of myself I’m truly proud of. A more confident, present, and tuned-in me.
Thank you, Adam. This wasn’t just coaching—it was transformation.
