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!

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!

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!!!

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.

I went into this with high expectations and Adam totally blew them out of the water! He was honest, thorough, and super direct while still making me feel cared about. He wants to see the best version of you and he'll make you cut through the noise to find that version. Even if this audition goes nowhere, it was still helpful to have someone with Adam's knowledge of people tell me where my strengths were shining through and THAT is super powerful in my everyday life. Just absolutely phenomenal from start to finish and I highly highly highly recommend his services!

Adam is INSANELY good at what he does. Our first conversation made me realize I had been approaching my audition videos wrong for YEARS. If you’re open to receiving and listening to criticism, working with Adam will do wonders for your confidence in your video. Through the process, he helped me think deeply about how I became the person I am. It’s cheaper than therapy AND can help you get cast on your favorite show. A true win-win.
Joseph Rodriguez (Big Brother 26)
Adam does a great job crafting your story into the succinct interesting format that casting producers are looking for. He was very professional and was able to use analogies and concepts that made me rethink how to go about the whole process.
I was lucky enough to get selected to be on Big Brother 26 and while he can't do the interviews for you I do think Adam's tutelage got me on the right track to finally achieving a dream I had had for 10 years.
Thanks so much, Adam.

Me and my cousin just submitted our application for The Amazing Race. We had tried once in the past on our own but this time decided to work with Adam and all I can say is WOW. The tips and feedback Adam gave us extremely helpful. It made us realize how far off we were with our first submission. We learned so much about what casting directors are looking for, how to build a story, and how to tell it succinctly. He also was very easy and flexible to work with.

I have worked with Adam twice now. My first time, I was able to get a callback and now I feel like I have my best video that I have ever made. Adam truly helps you put your best foot forward, and is always willing to go the extra mile to help in any way possible. If you are truly serious about being cast on a show, Adam’s services are worth every cent!
LC
Working with Adam has been truly a wonderful experience. He is direct in his feedback, but never in an aggressive or judgemental way, which made the whole experience immediately worthwhile. He helped me organise my ideas and cut things I didn't need to include so that my final result felt much more like me and I am very proud of what we achieved together. I am also appreciative that as a queer person who shared a part of my life that I am sure Adam has little-to-no frame of reference for, I never once felt judged, stereotyped or misunderstood. I felt completely comfortable sharing those aspects of myself with him to ensure that I was able to communicate those things in the best way in my audition video. Thank you so much Adam, you rock!
Dave
Adam is a terrific guy and a very thoughtful and insightful coach. He gets to the point and clearly communicates what you need to do to have a much better chance of getting on a show. Whether you ultimately make it or not is part luck and partly what you bring to the table, but the process with Adam is fun and least you have a shot.
Anna
Working with Adam was an all around phenomenal experience. Adam gave me direct and honest feedback, and helped me realize how many mistakes I was making in my Survivor audition video. He is a surgeon when it comes to storytelling. He really helped me get clear on what story I was trying to tell the casting directors and how to tell it in an engaging way. I got a ton of value out of these coaching sessions. I strongly suggest working with Adam if you are serious about wanting to get casted on reality tv. Thank you for everything Adam!

Adam has a special set of skills.
You know those times when you tell a story and you can see people’s eyes glaze over as they lose interest. We all do it, even with our most practiced stories.
Adam spot’s the “glaze over” moment inherently, and cuts through all the unimportant fluff. He spots what’s interesting, what’s not, and helped me present my best rendition. I spent days if not weeks crafting something I thought was decent. Adam looked it over, immediately spotted the blah, blah, blah and guided me to the most interesting and important aspects of my story.
I may not get picked this casting cycle, but I won’t be submitting again without Adam’s help.

To begin with, my social media presence is non-existent, so it was purely by coincidence, after sharing my interest in SURVIVOR, that someone shared his casting coach career with me. I think the only nerves I had going to the website was that I'm actually going to speak with someone who knows about SURVIVOR and is part of SURVIVOR! To be clear, I've applied many times and heard nothing but crickets in return, every time.
Little did I know that Adam Klein is a genius when it comes to being real in a conversation and finding out the true meaning of you (me) and discovering intentions behind applying to be on SURVIVOR. I feel energized, motivated, and more passionate about being cast for SURVIVOR after every discussion we have.
It's not all fun and games with Adam. When he told me that my previous application videos all looked like I was just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what stuck, it hurt. He is Brutally honest, but in a kind respectful way. Eyes wide open, I was trying to squeeze so much of me/life into a 3-minute audition video, it was just a mess. Adam helps me focus on key aspects and how to relate stories concisely, with enough emotion, and fully representative of who I am.
The two application videos prepared with Adam's watchful eye and guidance are without a doubt, the two best audition tapes I have submitted. Waiting to hear from casting :)
We meet a lot of people in our lifetime and sometimes you just know if a person is a good person and if a person knows what they are talking about. Adam is both. Based on our collaboration experience, I consider Adam to be a good friend.
No matter your age, I highly recommend teaming up with Adam to not only improve or create an application video for your show of choice, but also to improve your personal self-awareness and benefit your circle of influence! If you really are serious about wanting to be on any show, then you must contact Adam. There is no downside.
I can't wait to collaborate one last time with Adam and apply to be cast on SURVIVOR.

Adam offers a damn good radar system for a Survivor casting process where 25,000+ annual applicants fly all but blind. Reader, a decade ago, he was in your shoes, as a lifelong superfan scouring the internet for tips on how to optimize his own audition tape. Fair to say, he's done and seen rather a lot since then, and the totality of his experience is evident in the expertise he provides. Adam helped me suss out parts of my personality I could have told you were there, never consciously top of mind, and yet invaluable to capture in portraying my most "authentic self." Just as Adam gives feedback on what's great and less-than-great in your tape, with honesty and detail, he also open-mindedly asks "why" you included certain segments. He suggests, but never insists upon, ways you can build upon whatever your answer may be, ensuring you're deliberate about every second of footage you submit. Adam will never guarantee you, personally, a spot on Survivor...but I guarantee you that captivating players will keep getting spots on Survivor after booking sessions with Adam. Maybe I'll be the next. Maybe it'll be you.

Working with Adam has made all of the difference! By myself, I had some idea of how to make a video, but the coaching really helped me learn so much about myself. It reaffirmed things I already knew, and put a spotlight on things that I hadn’t thought of before. We all know ourselves and things that we like, dislike, our dreams and wishes, but finding a concise way to explain our entire selves and our lives in a couple minutes is hard and Adam helped pull that out of me.
Adam was patient, kind but not afraid to critique and find ways to turn a fine video into a fantastic one. And I’ve found success in my own life and with the auditions! Don’t hesitate, do it!

This was my first time working with Adam and I could not have asked for a better experience! He is clearly very knowledgeable about the casting process and what producers are looking for. His feedback was always very constructive, he gave me advice on not only what to change in my video, but how I should go about it. His feedback also always included logic and reasoning that made perfect sense. I don’t even want to know just how cringe my video would have been without Adam’s help lol 10/10 would recommend!
Foxx
Working with Adam is like a breath of fresh air! Especially for someone like me who has been applying to the show for years and haven’t been able to move past a certain point. It was beyond helpful to get a reliable perspective from someone who better understands what casting is looking for. I am someone who values honesty especially when it comes to constructive feedback for improvement. If you are serious about improving your audition and chances of getting a call back, I truly recommend adam’s coaching! Money well spent, for sure!
Kenneth
Adam is the exact type of casting coach and audition mentor that you need if you're applying for Survivor or any reality TV show. He's honest, he's direct, he's tough in all the best ways. I'm beyond satisfied with my sessions with Adam, he helped me so much.

WORTH EVERY PENNY! I wish I would have done this years ago!
I've been applying to Survivor for years with varying levels of success. But in recent years, I felt that my approach was getting stagnant, so that's when I decided to hire Adam. And boy, was he worth it!
Adam instantly called out that my videos were were too perfect, surface level, and unrelatable. He helped me "dig deep" to reach layers that I had never touched in my videos before, which were much more interesting. The final video hit the nail on the head and stayed true to myself while showcasing me as a robust, intriguing person that would kill it on Survivor.
Adam is a fantastic casting coach! He is kind, sincere, and passionate about casting and storytelling. Whether it's your first time applying or you've been running on the casting hamster wheel for a while, don't waste your time doing it alone. HIRE ADAM...NOW!
Josh
I loved working with Adam, and my audition tape is 100x better with his coaching than it would've been without. He helped me find a clear and unique story to tell and execute it to the best of my abilities. I was on a time deadline, and we worked incredibly efficiently in our sessions. He gave honest and direct feedback that improved my video as much as possible in the time we had. His unique insight into this process, knowing what works and what doesn't, what casting agents are looking for v. what they've seen a thousand times, was also invaluable. And the sessions were very fun! Even if I don't get a callback, I enjoyed the process and learned a lot about myself and how I want to present myself.
H. M.
Stop overthinking and just go for it! Adam is brilliant and sees things I never would have noticed on my own. It’s clear why he won Survivor! He pulled out a story from me that I’d buried so deep, I’d almost forgotten it happened. The audition video I made before working with Adam feels like a ROUGH rough draft compared to where I am now. Adam’s guidance was invaluable – I couldn’t recommend him more for anyone serious about making a standout casting video.

Adam Klein has a true passion for casting coaching. I couldn't get enough of his feedback so I doubled my session's time on the spot, since I've worked with him every year and my videos get better and better. I can tell! I always get incredibly helpful feedback. Simple yet eye opening do's and don'ts for future videos, as well as specific areas of improvement tailored to my unique areas of growth. Talking to Adam was instantly comfortable. Working with him has turned into chatting to a friend I've known for years. He also dove deep into interesting parts of myself to showcase. Adam will help you present your best self. He instantly identified BS too. He politely called me out for showcasing what I thought casting folks could be looking for but isn't authentic to my true self. His talents are not just about helping you get cast on a show, it's about learning to present your best self, increasing your confidence and harnessing your elevator pitch for future opportunities life may offer you. I appreciate you Adam!
AB
Adam's coaching has been invaluable. He was able to quickly diagnose all the things I had been doing wrong in my video and offer actionable advice. He is friendly, and a pleasure to work with. I am so happy I decided to reach out to him.
Despite years of applying I had never heard back from casting once. After Adam helped my with my video I was contacted shortly afterwards. I was flabbergasted. I had already felt that there was so much value added to my video from Adam and I truly understood how to better present myself, but this was just a validation of it all. I am extremely thankful. He is fantastic at what he does.

Adam was SO helpful in crafting my video. His feedback is rapid fire and direct, but because of that you are able to maximize every single minute of your time with him. Make no mistake though, he's your #1 supporter and wants to help all of his clients succeed! Even though I had heard the saying "show don't tell" when it comes to audition videos, I struggled with how to implement that into my video until I worked with Adam. Adam's advice is a game changer for Survivor audition videos, but I can also see myself applying it to things like an elevator pitch, a wedding speech, or any other public speaking engagement. 11/10 recommend!
MK
Above all else, Adam is easy to work with. He has such a nice way of setting up every encounter to feel comfortable and natural. It is like talking to a friend. For most of us, the experience of putting together an application holds the weight of the world and comes with mountains of pressure. Working with Adam helps evaporate that pressure, and Adam does a great job of really making sure you are working toward success.
I feel more confident than ever about my chances to chase this dream, and I credit Adam greatly with that feeling.

Adam does a great job of helping you understand how to present your best self in an audition. His feedback is direct, precise, and actionable, and over the course of a few sessions I saw wild improvement in my audition videos. It's hard to talk about yourself with no direction, so having an external party help craft your story is immensely helpful. He's able to confirm what is, for lack of a better word, interesting about you from a stranger's perspective, which is hard to come by otherwise. I'm feeling very confident going into this casting round and am grateful for the help!
