Actors Connection

To say I am a raving fan is a mild understatement. In my professional and personal opinion Actors Connection offers the finest quality of training and exposure to high quality industry professionals available to aspiring and veteran talent alike. However, this is only the beginning. Actors Connection's excellence goes beyond the high quality and relevance of the teachers and industry guests that come through their doors. Actors Connection exceeds expectations because of the way each individual is treated, regardless of age, attributes or aspiration. That's why it's the training and networking studio of choice for me AND my children! more

Show business is one of the hardest business to break into. Many actors come out of conservatory program and college programs with vast amounts of acting training but little knowledge of how to actually market themselves in ""the business"". That is where Actor's Connection steps in. With their dedicated staff and top notch casting directors who teach their, Actor's Connection teaches actor how to become their own corporation and how to market themselves and be successful in an industry where many have a hard time just breaking into. Actor's Connection helped me find where I fit into the industry and how to target projects that I'm right for. As a result I have been called into audition for parts in major motion pictures, television shows and I book two national commercials. I a extremely grateful to Actor's Connection for opening doors for me and providing me the chance to meet with industry professional that I would have not otherwise had the chance to meet. I owe the success I have had so far to Actor's Connection. more

Actors Connection is the ""go-to"" if you want to hone your craft, meet casting directors and talent agents, as well as learn, grow, network and study. As a newbie, I asked around and everyone told me the same thing.....""get yourself in front of agents at Actors Connection."" So, I listened and learned....mucho! Their best deal is the 1-month unlimited package, which I've done twice with much success. For $199, which is unheard of, you can see up to two agents per evening, space available, for 30 days. If you plan it right, that could come out to less than $9/seminar.....that's a bargain in this industry. And, as a result of attending two month's of these, I'm now freelancing with three different agencies and over 20 casting directors now know my face and my work. That is truly a gift.....how else can you accomplish this in 60 days, other than having a showcase? more

Actors who want work need to connect with the right people. Sending out head shots, composites, and DVD copies is no longer the way to go. Getting a website is key, but actually getting out there and meeting the industry leaders at such a great place as Actors Connection is one of the best solutions. Actors learn all that which is expected of them in an audition and in a performance by the very people who call actors into their offices to audition and book them. The actor's presence in the classes and seminars at Actors Connection is the new ""must-have"" calling card. more

Actos Connection has a great talent but not in acting..in taking peoples money! If you look like a model they will actually give you some decent advice and attention. Everyone one else will be treated like amatuer at best! Oh and be careful when cancelling a class or asking why you were not credited when THEY cancelled a class (very likely to happen) because they may get very annoyed and cancel your account, take your remaining money you may have in the account without you knowing! This has happened to myself and three other peers of mine! You can dispute it with your credit card company but they always use the same excuse that seems to work and you cannot win! Very frustrating experience with this place! Looking back I wish I saved my money and went to a more friendly, supportive enviroment, and there so so many better options in New York City! more

I've made lots of great connections from going to Actors Connection including freelancing with agents, getting auditions and then booking work! I've also taken several classes with casting directors there including commercial, voice-over, film, tv-all were excellent. Overall, Actors Connection is a wonderful studio to network and showcase yourself to agents and casting directors or to get further training in improving your auditioning skills. Pros: Great Acting classes and networking seminars Cons: Not for beginners more
