THE REJECTION DISCOUNT! Starting November 1st....

Audition season is over! Did you book a gig? AWW! That’s too bad. Perhaps you could have been considered for more jobs if you had the materials to be seriously considered for an audition submission!

No website with your digital audition on it? No vocal or video demos? WHY? These are all things that casting directors across the country are now turning to to book their seasons without the extra expenditure of traveling to NYC or LA. 

Even if you HAVE auditioned for the company live or in the past, they may want a refresher/reminder of who you are and what you do, so having a ‘dot com’ with additional or similar materials available online is exactly what you want to direct them to.

SO take advantage of the 'off-season-i-didn't-book-a-gig-and-that-sucks' REJECTION DISCOUNT. $50 off ALL website design, $20 off ALL video and audio demo recordings. Get your proverbial gun loaded for NEXT audition season and BE PREPARED.

Rocket Launch Productions offers all services to give YOU as a business the boost you need to get seen, and get hired!

Embrace technology…. And better luck next time!

"Awakening The Actor Within" is a 12-week workbook aimed at helping actors recover and discover their highest goals and ambitions. It resulted from over 15 years of acting, writing and teaching. It focuses on the subject of healing from acting "blocks" and getting the courage to act again after being discouraged or disappointed. It aims to free an actors creativity and build a healthy foundation. A spiritual workbook that initiates creative expansion and growth for actors. Teaches a simple, friendly, non-critical approach called “Acting Practice”. Teaches actors to form healthy acting habits and rebuild confidence.

RLP Feature: Vocal Backing Tracks from Stanley Allyn Owen...

The Audition world is evolving very clearly these days. Many regional houses are unable to spare the money in their budgets to come to NYC twice or even once a year to audition new talent for their productions. Wanting to still be able to bill 'New York City actors' in their productions, they are turning to the beast that is the internet for casting options. Having a website with media on it comparable to a live audition is very necessary.  Part of being castable online is having a digital audition available. This includes headshots, resumes, bios, production photos, and video and audio demos.

Rocket Launch Productions can help you assemble all of these things, but our pride and joy is our most talented and unparalleled backing track orchestrator Stanley Allyn Owen.  Stanley lets you you pick ANY song of ANY genre in ANY key in its totality or 32-64 bar cut and he will create a custom track for your personal use whenever and however you want to use it at the industries highest quality. Those listening will wonder if you actually hired a Broadway Orchestra to play on your demos.

What is Rocket Launch Productions?

Rocket Launch Productions is a Development and Marketing group offering social and digital media services to actors, singers, other entertainers, and industry professionals to better equip them with the materials they need to be more marketable, present online, and hirable. 
Here at Rocket Launch Productions we understand that being in the performing arts industry is hard enough without having to solidly and consistently put yourself out there to acquire work. We also get that it can be REALLY expensive to execute and maintain all of what is required of you for even a basic audition. Headshots are expensive, printing them costs even more than having them shot, then to get demos done and put them up on a website for online submissions, you are looking at over $1000 depending on how you go about doing it. 
Rocket Launch promises affordable and high quality media ALWAYS. You will NEVER spend crazy amounts of money with RLP but will get the same results that you would have gotten had you spent hundreds.
