Beyond the Audition
Trained for the Camera. Not the Classroom.
@beyondtheaudition
Self-Tapes. Cold Reads. Callbacks. Booked.
Beyond the Audition is a training ground for actors who want real, working-industry feedback — not classroom theory. Founded by directors Doug Aarniokoski and Andi Armaganian and actor Eric Goins, we help actors close the gap between talent and getting cast.
Core Practices
Self-Tape Mastery
Most actors lose the role before casting even presses play. We work directly with actors on framing, lighting, slating, and delivery — the technical and performance details that get you seen, not skipped.
On Set Skills
Booking the job is only half of it. This practice covers the part nobody teaches — who to call, where to go, how to read a call sheet, and the set etiquette that gets you invited back.
On-Camera Technique
Stage training doesn't translate to camera. This practice breaks down how directors and casting actually watch a performance, and retrains instinctive stage habits into camera-ready choices.

Real Feedback. Not Theory.
Our practices work together, not separately. Whether you're prepping a self-tape tonight or walking onto set, Beyond the Audition gives you direct access to working professionals — real feedback, not theory.
Over 30 years combined experience directing award-winning actors and casting for film & television — now working directly with actors on the other side of the camera.
