ABOUT US

Our studio is set up like an audition room and our lesson plans are set up to prepare actors for film and tv auditions. We have the equipment and technology to give actors a real audition experience.

He is a proud Member of SAG-AFTRA and has earned over 20 acting credits, including 11 Primetime Network episodes (2 recurring roles), and 5 Leading Man roles in feature films (1 Lead in a network film). Since 2012, Mark has coached and consulted hundreds of actors. We have a team of acting coaches who are professional working actors and teaching artists. Each team member has studied under Mark for several years. They have also studied, trained, and worked with several New York casting directors and industry reps!
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to help actors get in the best position to gain representation and book paid acting jobs.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
"It's more than talent". We believe that it takes more than talent to be successful in the film and television industry. We teach the actors at our studio to treat their art as a business. Relying on talent alone and not include the business side, is not a wise way to build a solid acting career. We give you a detailed plan and strategy to build the business side of your acting career.
We believe that the more you practice in a realistic audition environment, the more comfortable you will be when an actual audition comes. Our studio will give you that experience.
