Get Cast™ is a series of online video training tools that were created to teach actors the one thing that most of them don't know about:
Marketing.
You've learned how to act. You've learned the business of acting. But have you learned how to market yourself and build demand? Have you been taught exactly how to find an agent? These and many more tips are what we'll cover in this Master Class series.

A bit about Martin:
Martin Bentsen, founder of Bentsen Breakthrough Consulting, has spoken numerous times at New York University, has run educational seminars at Actor's Connection on branding and marketing strategies for performers, and has written a 60 page informational book called Get Cast™, focusing on marketing tactics actors can use to find more consistent work. He is a member of both the National Association of Sales Professionals and Sales & Marketing Executives International, two highly acclaimed marketing organizations in the United States.
Martin graduated in 2011 with honors from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts' Film and Television program with a focus on directing and in 2010, he founded City Headshots®, which, according to Yelp, is ranked the top headshot studio in the United States. City Headshots currently employs seven people and has two locations in New York, and photographers in Denver, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Some of City Headshots’ repeat clients include well known companies such as LinkedIn Corp, Facebook, American Express, and many of its photos have been featured in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
As a business owner who has grown a photography business from zero to half a million dollars per year, Martin not only understands the intricacies of marketing and finding clients, but also what it takes for actors to successfully navigate the marketing world and make themselves memorable. He coaches actors one-on-one with their branding, marketing, and business strategies, and in how they conduct themselves on-set.
Martin’s long term goal is to run major actor marketing seminars across the country while expanding his City Headshots brand to go international.

The question I've focused on since Day 1:
How can I help actors find consistent, paid work and while automating the process?
My goal is not to teach you how to act or teach you what industry standards are, but to help you develop the psychology of success with outside the box marketing strategies and a goal-oriented mindset. First, the classes will go over the bare bones marketing tools you'll need. They'll show you how you can create all your basic marketing materials within a week and spend almost nothing.
Second, the videos will go through failsafe strategies you can implement to break through plateaus and move your career forward.
Third, they'll discuss how you can create a repeatable system that not only protects you in case you make a mistake but also allows you the free time to focus on your craft.

Marketing is vital
Did you know?
These are just some of the many statistics that show the importance of effective marketing. The Get Cast™ courses go through these and many more statistics, along with giving you the tools to build demand for your work.
- Studies show that the average casting director and agent is exposed to up to 10,000 ads per day and over 1,500 headshots per day, meaning they are going to be so distracted that the chance of them remembering who you are is slim to none without effective marketing. (American Marketing Association, 2017)
- 74% of people say they use Facebook for professional purposes, meaning that you need to pay careful attention to how you use social media and tailor it to build a following and generate authority for yourself. (HubSpot, 2017)
- 4X as many agents and casting directors would rather watch a video about a you than read your bio, which means you need a great reel, and need one that matches industry specifications. (Animoto, 2015)
These are just some of the many statistics that show the importance of effective marketing. The Get Cast™ courses go through these and many more statistics, along with giving you the tools to build demand for your work.

- You'll flip on your unconscious HUNGER! Studies have shown that when we invest our hard-earned money into an educational program, suddenly the unconscious 90% of our brain will switch on and start making us work like crazy to make things happen. On the flip side, learning something for free doesn't turn on that switch because there is no sense of urgency or unconscious value applied, so you're less likely to take action when you don't put some skin in the game.
- Your career is worth it, right? Do you want to teach yourself another lesson? Stop sending your unconscious brain the message that your career isn't something worth investing in.

Not sure if it's worth it?
Doing a little math, in just the first two classes you'll learn how to build your own professional website ($500), shoot and edit your own reel ($500), design your own business card ($100), and even shoot your own headshot ($500). The value of all the savings in the first two courses alone adds up to over $1,600. On top of that, you'll also get a $75 gift card to City Headshots and a $100 coaching session with me.
You've essentially earned $1,775 just by listening to Class 1 and 2.
That's right. After just the first two classes, you're already up by $1,775 in money you've saved yourself by not making the mistakes most actors make, and learning it all within 2 hours instead of 2 years. And you've still got a bunch of classes to go!
And again, my full guarantee is there in case you're not happy - a FREE headshot and all your money back.

Questions? Feel free to email me at [email protected].
- The program or coach shouldn't be the "warm and fuzzy" type. Yes, the program should be friendly and professional, but there is also a need for direct honesty and harsh truths. Programs or coaches that only focuses on the good and sugarcoat the bad are not going to help you.
- The program or coach must have a deep knowledge of specifics. This is not the place for guess work. If you invest in a program, it should dive deep and focus on specific strategies to actually implement processes. For example, if the program is just telling you to "shoot a great set of headshots that focuses on your brand," without explaining how to find your brand (or charging you extra for that privilege) it might not be the best program.
- The program should include workbooks and email followups that help you follow through. You don't want to pay for a program that doesn't hold you accountable and doesn't remind you to follow through. Make sure the programs you invest in take you through, step by step, so you reach the finish line.
