ABOUT US

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.

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.
