The way I'm already loving my experience at this school is insane! I've background in the…read moreentertainment business (over 20 years) so to have this gem in my neighborhood and not have to go allll the way to LA/Hollywood is a blessing in disguise. My youngest son is a natural performer and although he has an agent, prior to enrollment, I began to take notice that he really needed to gain more confidence and truly learn and cultivate his skill set. I'd driven past this location so many times over the years and even knew tons of kids who attended but never inquired. I'd always thought SCV is so off the grid what do they know about Hollywood? just another company taking peoples money claiming they have all these connections getting folks hopes up. But after wanting to yank my hair out managing my son's auditions I decided I go check them out. And I would have never imagined how one decision could change the trajectory of my thinking and open up so many opportunity. I will say, if you attempt to get pricing info over the phone, that's not gonna happen. You will be directed to Mike Josten, the owner. He's been in business over 20 years in the city, please feel free to check out his accreditations with the City (like Chamber of Commerce, etc.). It's a business people, I've seen comments like "he's a Salesman" but if you already have your mind set to buy something .. you will and if you don't, you won't. You can't blame a business owner for doing his job selling his business. You came to him. He's not scouting and cold calling. Mike was everything I'd imagined. High energy, friendly, passionate and so so encouraging. I've never met a stranger so kind, he's funny too and just really wanting to help support peoples dreams. And that all truly mattered to me. Without a doubt this school is it. When you see comments saying everyone in there gives a family vibe, it's true. All the students love Mike! He jokes and laughs with them, they respect him and everyone PERFORMS. And The teachers get to it! They supply the trainings, and resources all the way up to helping you land an agent. There are legit SAG/AFTRA agents that scout EVERY SAT at the school. Being on the business side of the entertainment business, I know this place is a powerhouse for anyone wanting to take their craft serious and are really looking to get out there. You just have to bring your skill set and show up! Put in the work. I love it, and I don't think I've ever been so grateful to a team of people for supporting me and my baby side by side and also breathing life back into my own dreams and aspirations!

My youngest son attended SCSOPA since the time he was in junior high and through high school. He…read moregot quite a few jobs for commercials and advertising to name a few. My husband was excited when he was taking an international flight and saw our son in the DirecTV commercial. He is now 25 and has an established career and since has moved on.... Now, we have our 11 year old daughter enrolled in SCSOPA! She is enjoying every single minute here. I believe this may be her second home. She enjoys the acting classes, the voice overs, teen runway, on-camera scene practices, etc. She loves it, loves it, LOVES it!!! To add on, she has made some great friends already in the 2 months that she has been here. She just participated in a fashion show, so this place keeps her BUSY! The teachers are awesome. They are encouraging and kind. All of the instructors have professional backgrounds and it's wonderful that they are sharing it with our kids. There are agents that come weekly looking for talent. SCSOPA is preparing her for a shot in the industry! We also see her confidence building. She has met with a couple agents and is wanted by both. We will see;). Mike, the owner is warm, hilarious, and full of energy. Mike and his team are passionate about the kids and their future in show biz. So far, we believe this is the best thing we have done for our daughter so far.

I absolutely love that they come to your house and that the session is an hour and a half, which provides enough time to make progress. I am already planning on using them during the summer so that our daughter doesn't lose much knowledge in that time off. Our tutor Austin Rosen was extremely helpful with working with our son who struggled in Chemistry. With his 8 week session, he went from a 50% in the class, to excelling and passing the course with an 85%. He was patient and very helpful and flexible with our needs.

Walk around sometime and you'll notice that you'll get a much larger percent that don't return even a smile. Most of these kids are only Christian by affiliation. I know not much can be done about the way the student body is so this is really just a warning for those who may struggle fitting in and want to make new friends. You will most likely feel like an outcast, if you insist on attending the school, there will be some good teaching and classes but there will be a tons of hypocrisy so you have to gird up and take it and constantly remind yourself why you are there and press on. There will be racism and holier-than-though peeps and you won't make the cut to join their groups, but hopefully you'll find a friend or two that are truly trying to walk in Him as you press on in your studies. For those that are naturally likable, you'll be just fine. There's some truth for you... You decide.
