Where Hollywood comes to find the best the Midwest has to offer

If you wish to work in the acting and modeling fields you need to train. Gone are the days when you are discovered one day and on set a few months later. If you want to compete to be in film & television you need to train with top notch coaches that regularly work actors that work in film & tv. Many top coaches can coach via Skype. So where you live is no longer a hindrance to getting the training you need. 

If you wanted to compete in the Olympics you would not expect to qualify and compete without years of training and training with the best coaches you can find. Acting is the same way. Many of the best actors who are working still work with their favorite coaches.  

Because we know this to be true we bring in top acting coaches to various regions in the country to work with our actors. We also take a handful of our talent on an educational tour to Los Angeles.
