This career is a beast. It can be overwhelming. It can be demoralizing. It can feel solitary and lonely at times. That's where The Approach™ programs with Alex Collins come in.
The Approach™ offerings include:
The Basecamp™ Community, and The Mastermind Group.
The former offers a month-to-month membership and helps you get a handle on all things not directly related to the craft. The latter is a year-long application only membership that does a deep dive on all facets of the industry, in an intimate and life-changing fashion.
Between both programs you’ll tackle multiple elements, including accountability, business acumen, community, mindset, and craft.
FYI: If you’ve been here before, or worked with me previously, you may see that some offerings are no longer available. Various items are available within either/both of the above communities.
Above all, our goal is to help actors navigate the industry mountain.
Welcome

The Basecamp™ Community
At The Basecamp™ Community, you’ll tackle all the things you never learned in your acting class with a particular focus on the business of the business, and how to win the mental game, all with a transparent approach. No fluff. No bullsh*t. Just honesty.
The Approach™ Mastermind Group
The Approach™ Mastermind Group is a year long, small group, diversified training program for professional actors. This is NOT for beginners/newbies, or inexperienced actors and is ideally for those who have been working for at least two to three years.
Welcome, I'm Alex Collins
As an actor, I've worked opposite and learned from some of the very best in the business, including an Oscar winner, a three time Oscar nominee, a two time Oscar nominee and have been directed by a five time Oscar winner. This work is directly opposite the leads, as opposed to large ensembles. In addition, I've worked opposite winners of five Golden Globes, five SAG Awards, four Emmys, and a Tony.
Here's the thing. I'm not famous. I'm not a millionaire. I'm a regular, working, union actor. I can relate to everything you've gone through, are going through, and will go through in your journey as an artist because I've been there, too.
I'm in the trenches day in and day out, auditioning and grinding. Just like you. I work hard on my training, my materials, and my mind set. Just like you. I experience highs and lows, have lots of near misses and close calls, and have long stretches between bookings. Just like you.
As a teacher, I can help you because I’ve been where you now stand. Join us in The Basecamp™ Community, where you’ll tackle all the things you never learned in your acting class with a particular focus on the business of the business, and how to win the mental game, all with a transparent approach. No fluff. No bullsh*t. Just honesty.
If you need a deeper dive, for a full year, then perhaps The Approach™ Mastermind Group is right for you. This year-long, intimate, small group community for professional actors requires an application and approval process, and has proven to be life-changing for each of the year years we've done it, so far.
A Quick Freebie On Comedy Basics
This is just a little snippet of what you may learn in The Bootcamp course, available within The Mastermind Group. The module on comedy as you see here will give you a sense of who I am as a teacher.
While this course used to be available for purchase, it is exclusively available now within The Mastermind Group but you can potentially work with me, as I do guest teach at various studios around the country. Message me if you have any questions.
