Short Story: SPA is truly 5 star! Awesome experience! Highly recommend! Long Story: Yes, it's a long review, but if you want the details to help answer your questions, it's right here. My daughter is only 5, but already has a passion for entertaining. I researched for a company that could offer her training, exposure, and experience. I chose SPA because of all the positive reviews, the company's good standing in business, and the extensive experienced backgrounds of the people involved. This is not a company that is too good to be true. It's all true! SPA is transparent with their services; no hidden surprises or fees; and they deliver. Let's not forget: It's 2021, so everything is happening via Zoom. The show must go on; so all classes and the showcase took place online....and it went perfectly! We live in Las Vegas, so this being offered online gave my daughter an opportunity she would not have been able to experience otherwise. SPA ran their online program smoothly and professionally, without a hitch. That's a huge plus! What is charged for classes and a showcase is fairly priced. It's more than that though. The team is available for questions and guidance. Joe Lorenzo seems available 24/7. I've never had a time that he hasn't responded to me promptly and with a well thought out, helpful response. The coaches know how to teach children in a way they understand and can relate. My daughter has learned so much and has really grown from this experience! I too have learned a tremendous amount! SPA offers a parent class to prepare us, not only for the showcase, but also for the entertainment industry. They teach what to expect, and what is expected of you, at showcases and auditions. I've learned how to properly format a resume; all the do's and don't's. Headshots, agents, managers, lighting, what the industry is looking for....I could go on and on. What I've learned alone is worth it. The showcase was at the end of this month long training. The children were given an extensive preparation class. Each child was given individual attention to ensure they're were ready for a polished performance. The parents were also given a preparation class. I learned a great deal about a showcase; and the steps to take after to continue helping my child navigate this industry; and take advantage of the knowledge we were shared. The showcase was thrilling! Joe Lorenzo personally helped each child with lighting, screen setup, clothing choice, and how to properly introduce themselves. Very reputable agents were present. I felt that each child was given a chance to shine and feel welcome. It was a very positive experience. No matter how your showcase goes; no matter what comes of it; the classes, the workshops, and showcase; the knowledge alone, in and of itself, is worth the investment. The entire team is truly so professional and kind. I honestly have only great things to say; and truly appreciate everything they do. I wanted to share a note on Joe Lorenzo, owner of SPA. This gentleman is genuinely a good person, with his heart invested in SPA and it's students. He knows the industry and has invaluable wisdom to share. It is very apparent that his experience and dedication is echoed throughout his company. He isn't a "figure head". He responds to emails and calls. He's right there completely available and involved. Here's what hit me. It's the little things: I sent an email to Joe. He replies. I send another reply saying "thanks". He takes the time to send a "you're welcome, have a good night." He didn't have to; but that's in his nature; to go above and beyond with that something extra. That, right there, is a person that takes the time to care. He's extremely busy, but not too busy for kindness. That says a lot. Joe, his team, and his company are the real deal. If your child is interested in the entertainment industry and you want to provide them with the perfect starting point; SPA is the place. read more

I will be honest, this industry felt a bit intimidating, especially as a parent. As a result I unknowingly have resisted fully supporting the deep passion my daughter has for acting (that has not changed in her near 16 years on this earth). We come from a small community in BC Canada, the options feel more limited. Stumbling upon Society Performers feels like finding the most precious gem. At first the option to train and learn from a distance was the gift but so quickly it's been about SO much more. The opportunity and empowerment offered mixed with honesty and guidance truly left us in awe that a program like this actually exists in this industry. There is a humble confidence, an integrity that is felt from Joe Lorenzo, the owner and his entire team in both their US and Canadian divisions. This was felt through texts, zoom and validated even more after spending a week with them in person. These are really good humans who genuinely care and at the same time are truthful, who lead with their hearts AND have the expertise of decades; decades of learning, relearning, unlearning, decades of showing up, rising again each day , decades of relationships, decades of integrity. And they have chosen to share this with our passionate kids + teens. It's such a big deal. There were two things that have come up each time we hear agents, casting directors, managers share tips for inspiring actors ... 1. take classes always, keep practicing like an athlete practices for game day. Keep expanding yourself and your craft. 2. This profession is a journey, over years and years with so much to navigate and experience so be sure to enjoy all the pieces, fall in love with all the pieces. That is what makes Society Performers such a gem. it offers all this and more. It is a community. A family. A lighthouse, a hug. It offers honesty and also requires work, heart and passion. It offers a safe space to grow with a multitude of classes + coaches and to feel so supported on the journey, there has been no question left unanswered. (The deeper we venture in this industry, the more we realize how huge this support is) One other huge gift is the friendships and genuine group of performers + families in SPA, uplifting and genuine joy for each other. I can't imagine a better team to have on this path for my daughter Emmah and our family too. In the words of Emmah when asked about SPA, 'my world has expanded 1000 times in the best possible way'. What more could we ever want for our children:) So very grateful. 5 star plus. read more

I can't say enough about how amazing Society Performers / Society Performers Academy (SPA) is as an organization. I am not one who is easily convinced about . . . well . . . anything really, and do not take the idea of people working with my children lightly. Between January and March of this year, SPA CEO, Joe Lorenzo, some awesome members of his team (Amie, Lisa, Monica), and acting coaches like Steve Scott and Aimee Lynn Chadwick walked and talked me through what I needed to feel confident by assuring me that SPA was NOT A SCAM. They actually encouraged my skepticism, as they acknowledged that this industry is full of people who will pull on your (and her kiddo's) eager, hopeful heartstrings that they have what it takes. After working with SPA for a couple of months, they started to EARN my trust and I saw that this was a group of professionals who could actually be TRUSTED. My precious daughter attended SPA Nationals (SPiN) in none other than Hollywood, CA July 1-5 2022, and the entire experience was phenomenal! First Class! Miya was trained by outstanding actors/models like Aimee (again because she's FabuLouS), Samantha Jai, John Stevens (total hottie!), and Emily Nelson (remember, not all performers make for good coaches), all of whom had a huge role in my daughters success while at Nationals! It was SO WORTH IT!!! But this review isn't about my daughter. This review is about expressing how amazing Joe's organization is and how simply invaluable the knowledge he shares about this industry has been/will continue to be. Don't forget . . . regardless of what profession you're in, reputations matter . . . relationships matter! Entertainment is NO DIFFERENT. Many in the entertainment industry love Joe . . . he KNOWS people--I witnessed both with my own eyes! If your kid(s) really want to get into modeling/acting/singing/dancing, you can definitely go at it on your own and hope for the best. But if you want to be confident that you're giving your kid(s) a REAL chance at making it while minimizing the risk, please consider working with SPA. With hard work and perseverance, my daughter is being positioned to make it and make it BIG. There's no one I trust more than Joe to help keep ME keep my daughter on the right path, safe, and seen as a professional. Thank you Joe!!!!!!!!! .........................And NO, I don't work for him! I'm just a huge fan and graciously humbled by the opportunity SPA has given my daughter! read more

I had the incredible opportunity to be a part of SPiN's performers workshop this past July 2024, and I can't recommend it highly enough for both kids and adults. SPiN offers a unique and transformative experience for aspiring actors, models, singers, and dancers, and it's clear that the staff genuinely cares about each performer's growth and success. Joe Lorenzo, who is nothing short of a rockstar, stands out as a pivotal figure in this event. His dedication is evident through the countless hours he invests, providing unwavering support to performers and their families. Joe's energy and passion create an environment where dreams are nurtured, confidence is built, and opportunities are seized. His ability to make every performer feel seen and valued is truly inspiring. Toni, the director of the event, is the magical force behind SPiN's seamless execution. Her commitment to making the event shine is palpable. Toni's personal touch ensures that everyone involved feels supported and empowered. The event wouldn't be the same without her extraordinary talent for making performers stand out and reach their full potential. The workshop also features an array of amazing coaches who bring out the best in each participant. Their expertise and personalized guidance help elevate every performer's craft, making a tangible difference in their skills and confidence. The July 2024 event was a profound experience. It was heartwarming to witness the dedication of performers, who invested their time and effort into perfecting their craft. SPiN provided invaluable assistance in every area, from honing skills to gaining industry exposure. The emotional culmination of the event saw performers shedding tears of joy--tears not just from personal growth and newfound confidence, but also from receiving callbacks and making their mark in an often challenging industry. SPiN also offers a supportive environment for those dealing with social anxieties, providing a gentle yet effective way for individuals to build confidence and overcome personal hurdles. If you're considering participating in SPiN, don't hesitate--it's worth every moment. Whether you're a performer looking to advance your career or a parent seeking to support your child's dreams, SPiN is an unforgettable experience that delivers on every promise. read more

Our time at Spin LA was beyond incredible, thanks to Joe Lorenzo and his amazing team. Joe's professionalism is unmatched, and the atmosphere he creates is just electric. Leading up to the event, the coaching my daughter received from Joe's team was invaluable, preparing her perfectly to take on this challenge. Investing in pre-event coaching from Joe's team is a MUST! It prepares your child to perform at their best and stay ahead of the competition. This preparation is crucial as you are auditioning for an agent and want your child to be the most prepared. The workshops at SPIN lead by vocal coach Josh, acting coach Emily, dance coach Dana, and other talented coaches--who are all active performers in Hollywood--was transformative. They truly perform miracles with the kids, pouring their hearts into every session. The welcome gala and the final gala felt like stepping into a premier event, akin to New York Fashion Week. Such a great experience for the kids to see what's to come when you succeed. Every detail was perfect, from the lighting to the music, making it a truly glamorous experience. Despite the long days, the entire team made sure that every child shined, pushing them to their best in the most supportive way possible. The entire experience was packed with fun activities, and my daughter didn't want them to end! Spin LA is where you can rest assured your child will be seen by the best acting agents in the nation. The performance rooms were filled with agents eager to discover the next big talent. It's the perfect place if you're looking to break into the industry. Not only did my daughter learn new skills and build confidence, but the audition experience and seeing the competition helped her learn to thrive in that environment--truly invaluable life skills. And yes, the fun part, my daughter got several callbacks, and we are thrilled to say she signed with the best agent in Hollywood! Joe's passion for nurturing young talent is evident in every aspect of Spin LA. Thanks to Joe, Josh, Emily, Dana, and everyone involved, my daughter has started on a path I'm so excited to watch her follow. If you're looking for a place that will challenge, inspire, and elevate your child, a place where you have the best opportunity to be seen by agents, Spin LA is it, hands down. read more

Our 8 year old son began taking acting and singing classes with Society Performers 2 months ago. He likes to pretend and play make believe and expressed interest in being an actor/performer. Our experience thus far can only be described as outstanding. Here are just a few of the reasons... - Before you work with society performers they take the time to talk to you about what the entertainment industry is like for both a parent and a child. The consultation never felt rushed. They answered every question we had, while also offering informative advice. - They offer a wide variety of packages and times to take classes based upon your budget and schedule. - Their coaches are exceptional actors and performers in their own right. Their talent and experience is evident and if you listen to their advice you will improve after each class. Each coach has a different style but they all take the time to provide informative and thoughtful feedback to each child. - All of the coaches are disciplined about getting the most out of each class, but at the same time they work well with kids. My son enjoys the classes and has also learned to take critical feedback and strive to improve. - I get the sense that each coach really enjoys what they do. I've never felt like any coach was rushing or didn't want to be there. In fact, quite the opposite, I can see the energy they put into each class and each child to help them improve. - Once a month, they give each child the opportunity to perform for an agent that has been vetted by the company. - Their support staff is available via text message or email and they are highly responsive, friendly and easy to work with. - They keep you informed via email and social media about auditions and open casting calls. I could go on and on. It is so refreshing to see such an incredibly well run organization, especially when they are working on behalf of you child. I passionately recommend society performers to anyone who is looking to work in the entertainment industry! read more

Rating: Society Performers Academy **Rating: (10/10)** Joining SPA Society Performers Academy has been one of the best decisions we've ever made for our child's future. Over the past five months, we have experienced first-hand the authenticity, dedication, and genuine care that SPA and Joe Lorenzo have for their students. From the moment we became a part of SPA, it exceeded all our expectations. As parents, we are extremely cautious when it comes to decisions that affect our child's dreams and aspirations. Choosing SPA was a significant decision, and it has proven to be an incredible journey. Joe Lorenzo and his team have delivered on every promise they made, and then some. They have a unique ability to under-promise and over-deliver, which is rare and refreshing. The quality of teaching, training, and coaching at SPA is unparalleled. Communication is seamless, and the entire process is handled with utmost professionalism and care. Our daughter, Zofia, has flourished under their guidance, and the progress she has made is beyond what we could have hoped for. We saw this all in action @ SPIN 2024. The Biltmore hotel was an amazing venue and the entire 5 days was off the hook. A special mention must go to Joe Lorenzo, who is one of the kindest and most genuine individuals we have ever met in the industry. His passion and dedication are reflected in every aspect of SPA. Additionally, his staff, including Toni, Tony, Amber, Lily, Steve, and Daniel, are exceptional. Their commitment to teaching, training, and supporting the students is truly commendable. If you are a parent considering SPA Society Performers Academy for your child, I can confidently say there is no better place. They do what they say they will do, and they do it exceptionally well. Bravo to Joe and the entire SPA team for their amazing work! **Thank you, SPA Society Performers Academy, for being a part of our daughter's journey and for helping her reach new heights.** read more

I wanted to take a few minutes to recognize Joe Lorenzo, and our Society Performers Academy. This a academy of family. We have been associated with this academy for over a year now. What a amazing platform for our children interested in performing in any facet. My daughter is actively perusing singing & acting. Joe is not a entity behind the curtain, but a hands on floor General who puts together some of the best curriculum, events, and shares his platform, experience, and his network of relationships industry wide with every family and child. He is complimented by his unbelievable staff that work tirelessly to prepare our kids for success. Not only in performing, but also in character building, communication and personal development, responsibility, as well as dedication and discipline to what they love to do. All while having fun and mastering each child's own development in their craft. As a father to a daughter, this industry can be challenging and scary at times. Being a part of SPA has allowed my child to flourish, build confidence, and allowed me to have a high level of comfortability with Joe's guidance and parental approach to our children. We just were a part of the biggest Gala show at SPIN 2022. WOW! I can only say that my daughter will never forget her experience. She performed in the production after auditioning. For anyone on the fence, or has reservations about putting your child in performing arts, I would say I recommend SPA. This is the best fraternity of family to join and meet other parents and friends. To help our children develop social skills and fuel their competitive drive for success. And lastly, to get a hands on team that walks us through the beginning stages of a robust industry with parent education. I can not say enough about our experiences or how much we have learned with SPA. Not to mention the preparedness we have obtained just being a part of Society Performers Academy. Thank you SPA!! read more

We had an absolutely incredible experience with SPiN LA, from start to finish. Our journey began back in April 2025, auditioning to work with SPiN, and it has been nothing short of exceptional ever since. Over the months that followed, my 12-year-old participated in weekly virtual training classes in both acting and singing, all of which were engaging, professional, and genuinely supportive of young talent at every stage. The experience culminated with SPiN LA January 2026 in Los Angeles, which exceeded every expectation. One of the most remarkable opportunities was that my son was able to perform in front of more than 30 highly reputable agents and managers--the top professionals representing youth talent in the industry. This level of access is truly unmatched; no other company offers this kind of opportunity in such a well-prepared, professional, and supportive setting. What stood out just as much was seeing the genuine relationships between the agents and managers and Joe Lorenzo, SPiN LA's CEO. It was clear this wasn't a transactional experience--there is real trust, respect, and long-standing collaboration, which made the entire process feel authentic and meaningful. Every single staff member at SPiN LA is truly amazing--authentic, encouraging, and deeply invested in helping these kids grow not only as performers, but as confident young people. What Joe Lorenzo has built is something truly special: a safe, empowering, and professional environment for aspiring young talent. We were so impressed with the quality of coaching and support that we are planning to continue working with SPiN through ongoing weekly coaching sessions moving forward. If you're considering joining SPiN LA, do it. We are beyond grateful for this experience and can't recommend it highly enough. read more

I cannot say enough enough positive things about Joe Lorenzo, the amazing coaches on staff and SPA as an organization. My children have truly blossomed not only in their self confidence, but in their creativity as well. It has been amazing to watch them connect with their coaches, practice their lines and expand their goals and enthusiasm for acting and modeling. I am always grateful for the personal guidance/feedback that the kids receive and the prompt responsiveness to all of my questions. As a protective parent who spends a lot of time researching backgrounds/safety measures of anyone whom I entrust with their care and wellbeing, I can honestly say I have felt safe and comfortable with all of the coaches and staff members at SPA. Joe has answered all of my questions, ensures that all staff undergo background checks and has created a safe place for my children to grow and thrive in their personal goals as future models and actors. As I have been keenly observing interactions between my children and the coaches I have seen each of them display and model good boundaries and professionalism at all times. I am truly grateful that on their own accord, my children have courageously challenged themselves to learn and be coached by the best in the business. As a parent, there is nothing more comforting than to see their coaches care for them, deliver constructive feedback in a clear and meaningful way and have their goals/best interests in mind. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend SPA to any child or young adult who has goals of enhancing their acting, modeling, singing or dancing skills and a future career. SPA is a wonderful organization and my family has genuine gratitude for our experience thus far and excitement for our future in acting and modeling. read more

As a Mom I always pray for the best for my kids. A couple days after my daughter (Julia) came to me and told me she wanted to be an actress and singer I received a text message about Society Performers Academy. I took it as a sign that it was meant to be. Little did I know how much more Society Performers Academy was going to be, more incredible than any thought I had. The universe sent us Joe and his team and we are forever grateful! Julia has never been this excited about a dream or goal of hers before. Its breathtaking to see how happy she is when it's time for class and to watch how much she loves participating. The way a place, an instructor makes you feel is imperative for success. It's no wonder why Society Performers Academy is loved by all. I have no doubt in my mind that Julia is in the best hands when it comes to helping her make her dreams her reality. Joe- You and your team are so passionate, it's both admirable and intoxicating. You are our rock, our home base and we couldn't be happier. Thank you for always being so gracious and for all that you do! A note from Julia- Hi Joe! I love how kind my instructors are. They are honest, funny and helpful. I know it's easy for me to say I want to be an actress, they have a gift of helping me understand what it takes to be one. My goal is to be in a movie or a show on the Disney Channel. I know I'll make it with the guidance of Society Performers Academy. I'm so happy, thankful and appreciative to be on this journey with you. I love you and I can't wait to see you in the studio as soon as we can. I have a hug for you! I highly recommend Society Performers Academy for anyone looking to succeed in acting, singing and/or dancing! read more

There aren't enough words to describe how ecstatic our family is to know Joe Lorenzo and have our daughter be a student at Society Performers Academy. Joe is not only super professional and detail oriented, but he is approachable, affable, and a straight shooter, which is something that I think is rare nowadays in this industry. With the world facing these unprecedented times and we are forced to quarantine at home, Joe and his fabulous Society Performers team have leapt into action to assist our kids by immediately getting them all online to take classes to learn, to grow, stay active and help them become successful performers. Our daughter has loved that the virtual classes have given her the opportunity to stay creative and engage with some talented coaches through acting and dancing classes. The coaches are relatable and make it so much fun for students, but also keep them on track and give valuable feedback that they can apply toward their monologues. My daughter has been enjoying working on many different projects, contests and being part of a community that cares. On top of all of this Joe has been hosting bi-weekly virtual chats with industry professionals and talent agents that are so informative and have really helped me navigate the path of how to get an agent and simply get started in this industry. I can't recommend Society Performers Academy enough and I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed!! Our family is grateful that Joe was able to enthusiastically pivot to provide a truly rewarding experience during this new normal so our budding artists can succeed in this industry. Thank you, Joe, we admire your passion and commitment to excellence! read more

So coming from a 1st time Acting parent. I saw an ad on Facebook about acting and enrolling for classes to brighten children's future, at first I thought it was a scam especially coming from a social media, so I'm like why not there's always a try which it doesn't hurt. I signed up my niece for an audition(for free) without her knowing and see if it was a scam or not. She got a call back, we went to the studio and we looked around how safe it was and how friendly everyone was and seemed to good to be true. So gave it a second try but this time paid for some classes, was told she was going to be auditioning in the future and be taking headshots for upcoming agents that come to the business, so we're like ok seems great. My niece knew somewhat of acting coming from drama club in high school. Months passed and I can't believe I made a great decision to sign up my niece here at society performers. Bianca, Jay, Joe and other instructors are great coaches and explained during their classes/workshops what to expect in the acting industry whether famous or not and never to bring yourself down. They are patient and always give their time for the best of their students. My niece was shy at first but these coaches push the students out of their shell to speak up and be confident in themselves like how others believe in them. My niece is learning so much in this studio, has got great headshots done and also has an agent representing her for films and commercials. I can see she is no longer shy and more confident in herself. Thank you Joe and Jay for everything you have done for Leslie and bringing her hopes for the better. read more

Short review: I would absolutely recommend SPA. We are very happy with the program. If you want to get your kid into the acting industry, SPA is the program you need if you don't have the knowledge or connections. Long review: I saw an ad on Facebook for a kids acting workshop and thought it would be Cool for my daughter to learn acting. I took her to an open audition at the Hyatt Regency in Princeton, NJ. The people there were very professional and told us that this was an industry workshop and the kids would be auditioning for talent agents in a showcase at the end. They informed us about how the industry works and warned against paying talent agents up front for representation. They clearly explained that their role was to prepare the kids to be industry ready professionals which is what the top talent agencies look for when booking new talent. She auditioned, received a call back, and started the program about a week later. There is a wealth of education provided by Society Performer's Academy. Not only do they teach the children, but they teach the parents too. Joe was always on standby to answer all of my questions. The workshops were taught by real industry actors and models. They always made it clear that there is no guarantee that a talent agent will pick you. It will ultimately be up to you and your child to do the work. We followed the program and all of Joe's suggestions. She received 2 call backs from talent agencies. Thank you Society Performer's Academy!! read more

I HIGHLY recommend Society Performers Academy! My daughter, Bella, has been a student here for the past 9 months and attending classes and workshops is always a highlight in her week since she loves her coaches, has made really great friendships, and visible growth in her performance abilities. When the Coronavirus Pandemic struck and forced the majority of our society to close and stay at home, our daughter was initially devastated that she wouldn't get to attend her classes. However, Joe Lorenzo, owner, immediately stepped into action without missing a beat. He had his amazing team create live online sessions that allowed the kids to meet virtually and often. I continue to be impressed with each coach that Bella has worked with. Not only do they each have impressive professional credentials, but their ability to connect with a group of kids so well from east to west coast and teach them well structured lessons on a virtual platform is applaudable. Society Performers is definitely a family that we're so happy to be part of. My daughter connects so well with her coaches, especially Amber, Chris, and Jules. Many friendships have been made here, not only between students, but parents as well. And this is because Joe is the driving force behind the well constructed, highly professional, and organically welcoming environment that Society Performers is. Thank you, Joe, for your kindness and all your dedication to your students, especially during this difficult time. read more

I highly recommend Society Performer Academy. We started this journey with our daughter in September knowing little to nothing about the industry. My daughter has always had a passion for acting so my husband and I took a leap of faith and it has been an amazing experience. Joe and his team are phenomenal and extremely professional. From acting class (virtual and in-person), photo shoots and showcases, they've held our hand every step of the way. Kaysen has now become more comfortable with monologues, scripts and commercials.  Her coaches Emily Nelson and Day'nah Cooper are amazing. They both offered different techniques and expertise which has been invaluable in learning different approaches. The criticism is professional and truthful. As a parent I felt comfortable with feedback, it was honest, raw and helpful. They provided a friendly, safe and structured environment. The classes are very fun, helpful and the children and staff wore their mask. I also attended an informational seminar online for parents that are new to the industry, it was very helpful.  Kaysen has received several callbacks from her showcases and Joe has been one call away to help with every step. He has been so engaged in our journey, always accessible, quick response and checks in after each step of the way. If you're serious about this business and really want to see your child blossom into their full potential, I highly recommend SOCIETY PERFORMERS ACADEMY. SPA is amazing . read more

What a great experience and looking forward to the continuous help, support and guidance that we have been receiving from Joe and the entire Society Performers Academy Family! I can't believe some honestly feel this is a scam. Sometimes we have to invest more into something that, at the very least, will give our kids experience and help build knowledge. When my daughter expressed wanting to be a "famous actress," I truly did not know the first thing to do in order to help her, although I knew it wasn't going to be as easy as some may think to be "found" or "noticed" and also realized it would probably take some time and more money than we may have. After all, I don't know of many actors who just jumped right onto the big screen lol I saw an ad, requested additional information and here we are today. I looked into the company and read reviews before deciding to give it a try. Glad I did not focus on the more negative reviews, since I feel these were made by individuals who maybe did not realize that normally becoming an actor, actress, singer etc...takes more than a first audition or someone walking up to us on the street. I'd say to anyone that is serious about getting their children, or themselves for that matter, into the business and you realize it will take time and definitely be an investment, stop second guessing and go for it! We are definitely not disappointed! read more

After auditioning and being accepted into the Society Performers family, we signed our 7 year old up for the "Oscar Program". We knew he loved to perform, and wanted to give him the opportunity to hone his skills and decide if this was definitely something he wanted to pursue. His program required a 1 hour class 5 days a week for 6 weeks, and "homework" between each class so that he would come prepared. We weren't sure what to expect, especially for a kid so young. What we saw was truly incredible. His teachers were patient, yet strict and professional. They did not accept excuses, and pushed him to do the best work he was capable of. The notes from each class were insightful and pointed, and the environment was so professional you almost forgot these were kids. When he completed his program he had improved so much it was remarkable, we were really blown away! Not only were we able to confirm that he was driven and capable of heading down this path professionally, he left his showcase's with a management contract and has been steadily auditioning for serious roles ever since. We couldn't be happier with Society Performers and the great work they helped to bring out of our kid! He is thriving while doing exactly what he has always wanted to do. We couldn't have done any of this without Joe and Society Performers! read more

I'm sorry, but if I'm paying for Allcast and kidscast already, where there are actual agencies and scouts are looking, then why should I send my child to a program to waste my time and never be seen by a REAL AGENT?? Places like this shouldn't be allowed to post on sites u PAY FOR trying to scam people to going to their school. The lady was rude, that did the zoom meet and said along the lines of you'll never find work just coming off the streets... I'm sorry but since of of top models/actors/talent came off the streets or was discovered in passing/word of mouth or social media. I unfortunately went through a program like this when I was younger. It was cake Barbizon. Said they found Tyra Banks. Lol yeh ok, and this place said they found Frankie from The Middle....yeh ok....this wasnt and audition, this was the way to fill their program...another way to pic and choose who they want to represent them. Which I get but it's so easy to coax kids to believe they will work on the big screen, but not until their parents have to pay for the next stages after "graduation". I'm sorry, but if agencies are looking for the next big hit, THEY'LL PAY ME FOR MY TIME, why should I have to pay you before the first gig is even given. This place and places like this are a joke and waste of time....real talent is found not made. read more
