NOVA Talent Group's Three-Level Actor Consultation Program 

Three Ways to Get a Talent Manager’s Perspective on Your Career

Maybe you want to learn more about how talent managers think.

Maybe you have specific questions about your career and want to talk privately with a working manager.

Or maybe you’re preparing to pursue representation and want someone to take a serious, comprehensive look at how you’re presenting yourself professionally.

NOVA Talent Group offers three different actor consultation experiences designed for different needs, different stages and different levels of support.

Start where you are. Choose what you need.




NOVA Launchpad
Learn. Ask Questions. Get a Manager’s Perspective.

$50 | 60 Minutes | Maximum 10 Actors

Limited to one Wednesday Evening per month

NOVA Launchpad is a live, small-group session with NOVA Talent Group Founder and Talent Manager Eric Pirooz.

This is your opportunity to spend an hour learning how a working talent manager thinks about actors, careers and representation — and to ask the questions you’ve always wanted to ask.

We’ll talk about topics like:

• What managers notice when evaluating actors
• What makes an actor stand out professionally
• Headshots, résumés and casting profiles
• Training and professional development
• Approaching agents and managers
• Common mistakes actors make when seeking representation
• Career strategy and positioning
• What actors can do to become more competitive

The session also includes a live Q&A, so please bring your questions.

With a maximum of only 10 actors per session, NOVA Launchpad is designed to stay personal, interactive and useful.

You’ll also get the benefit of hearing other actors’ questions and the conversations that come from them.

Sometimes the question someone else asks is the question you didn’t even know you needed answered.

MISSION CONTROL:Manager for an Hour

Your Career. Your Questions. Your Hour.

$100 | Private One-on-One | 60 Minutes

For one hour, you have a manager.

Welcome to MISSION CONTROL.

Every mission needs direction, and sometimes all you need is someone who knows the industry to help you navigate your next move.

MISSION CONTROL: MANAGER FOR AN HOUR is a private one-on-one consultation with Eric Pirooz built completely around what YOU want to discuss.

There is no predetermined curriculum.

There is no required agenda.

You bring your questions, concerns, decisions, frustrations, career challenges — or even material you want to work on — and for the next hour, we focus on what would be most useful to you.

Your hour can be about:

• Career strategy
• Finding representation
• Agent or manager meetings
• Headshots
• Résumés
• Actors Access
• Casting Networks
• Training and classes
• Auditions and self-tapes
• Working through an upcoming audition
• Getting feedback on a monologue or scene
• Performance notes from a manager’s perspective
• Branding and positioning
• Navigating your current representation
• Making career decisions
• Figuring out what you should be doing next
• Or whatever else is happening in your acting career

If you want to spend the hour talking strategy, we can do that.

If you want to bring in a monologue, scene or audition and work through it together, we can do that too.

The hour is yours.

For that hour, Eric will approach the conversation the same way he approaches conversations with his own management clients: candidly, strategically and with your career as the focus.

Sometimes you don’t need another class.

You need someone who understands the business to sit down with you, look at what’s happening and help you figure out your next move.

That's MISSION CONTROL: MANAGER FOR AN HOUR.

Private One-on-One Consultation

60 Minutes

$100
SUPERNOVA

The Most Comprehensive NOVA Actor Consultation

Two complete hours discussing your materials, which will be complely reviewed before we even start. 

Standard Rate: $250

INTRODUCTORY RATE: $175 THROUGH NOVEMBER 30, 2026

SUPERNOVA is NOVA Talent Group’s most in-depth actor consultation.

If you’re preparing to approach agents or managers — or you’ve already been submitting for representation and aren’t getting the response you want — this is the deep dive.

Unlike Manager for an Hour, SUPERNOVA begins before our meeting.

You’ll submit your professional materials in advance so Eric can review how you are currently presenting yourself from the perspective of a working talent manager.

Depending on your individual situation, that review may include:

• Headshots
• Résumé
• Actors Access
• Casting Networks
• Demo reel
• Self-tapes
• Training
• Casting type and positioning
• Professional presentation
• Representation strategy

Then we meet privately for approximately 120 minutes and go through it together.

We’ll identify what’s working.

We’ll identify what may be holding you back.

And we’ll talk specifically about how you can strengthen your professional package and better position yourself when pursuing agency and/or management representation.

The goal is not simply to give you a list of things to change.

The goal is for you to understand how a manager sees you, why certain things matter, and what you can do to present the strongest possible version of yourself professionally.

SUPERNOVA is for actors who want more than general advice.

It’s for actors who want someone to really look.

Start where you need to start
These are three different ways to work with NOVA — not levels you have to complete in order.

There are no prerequisites.

No hoops to jump through.

And you never have to book one consultation in order to have access to another.

If a group session is what you need, choose NOVA Launchpad.

If you already know you want a private hour to talk specifically about your career, book MISSION CONTROL: Manager for an Hour.

And if you’re ready for a comprehensive review of how you’re positioned for representation, you can go directly to SUPERNOVA.

Start where you are. Choose what you need.

And if one NOVA experience leads you to realize you’d benefit from another, it’s there when you’re ready.

 Eric is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough in his SUPERNOVA sessions. He really took the time to comb through all of my materials prior to our meeting and offered incredible suggestions and actionable next steps to help me not only improve my approach to getting representation, but also take my career to the next level!

 Eric was fantastic! I appreciated how direct, honest, and knowledgeable he was throughout the session. He told me at the beginning that he would speak to me as if I were his client, and I genuinely felt that approach made the session more useful. He was willing to identify problems in my materials rather than simply telling me everything looked good, and he explained the reasoning behind his recommendations. What I appreciated most was that the feedback was focused on moving my career forward. I left with a much clearer understanding of what needs to be improved, what I can work on with the resources I already have, and what I should prioritize before pursuing representation again. I would absolutely recommend SUPERNOVA to any actor who wants honest, practical feedback about their readiness for representation or who feels stuck in their career.

 My SUPERNOVA session was incredibly helpful in determining what I need to focus on and fix in terms of my whole package. Eric was so nice and honest, and I really appreciated him being direct and getting to the point in order to optimize the session! Going through my entire headshot session was so insightful because it allowed me to see how much more I can get out of my headshots and gave me a clear path forward for how I will conduct future sessions. It was wonderful that Eric took the time to review all of my materials ahead of time because it allowed us to really dig deep into everything and answer any and all questions I had. He even went overtime to answer questions that popped up at the end! Overall, this session gave me a clear path forward in terms of next steps and really helped me see how reps view me, how I can fix mistakes, and how to optimize the things that are working for me in order to get new reps and be taken more seriously in this industry! I have already implemented so many of Eric’s suggestions, and I can’t wait to see the positive changes in my career! Thank you, Eric!

 “The honest feedback of all my materials and knowing who to reach out to for commercial and improv courses to help secure more bookings as well as callbacks was the most valuable part of my SUPERNOVA session. It was fantastic! I think I could have heard Eric talk for hours and absorbed all the information he had. It woke me up to where I was placing my energy in the wrong areas and where I need to reroute it for more results. Truly enlightening and extremely helpful. I wish this found me earlier, but honestly, it was a perfect time for where my current career trajectory is. Excited to see how this is going to alter my career for the better!”
