What's New At The Studio?
Every month several of our students book speaking roles in feature films, TV shows, and commercials.
We've recently helped a current student negotiate a high 5-figure deal playing the lead role in a TV series filming in Los Angeles due to our strategic alliances with industry experts in Hollywood.
We're grateful to coach the best of the best and help them book roles and break into the business.
The truth and reality in the entertainment business is that the average acting class is not going to cut it.
What if we offered to show you how to consistently book roles & get on more sets while gaining a significant advantage over other actors?
Would You Take Us Up On That Offer?
If you feel "you have it in you" but just can't figure out what is holding you back, this could be the most important opportunity to break into your acting career!
