SUCCESS STORIES
REAL ACTORS. REAL RESULTS.
Success isn’t just a dream - it’s our proven track record. Our alumni, like our coaches, are actively working in the industry—not just training for it. They’ve booked leading roles, series regular spots, co-star appearances, and featured performances on major networks and top streaming platforms. You’ve seen their work in hit shows like Law & Order: Organized Crime, Blue Bloods, Tulsa King, Will Trent, New Amsterdam, The Pitt, and blockbuster films including Darkness of Man and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever—and the list keeps growing. This isn’t hypothetical “industry prep.” Our students train here, step onto real sets, and build careers that last.

"Working with Cindy Hogan has completely transformed my audition process. Nearly every time I book a one-on-one coaching session, I either land the role or make it to callbacks. Their coaching is truly an invaluable part of my success. One moment I’ll never forget was when we worked on my character LaQuisha for the show Johnson. She (Cindy) looked at me and said, ‘Watch you book this one.’ And sure enough, I did! Every session is not just about perfecting an audition—it’s about growing as an artist. I can’t wait to coach with Cindy again soon. I’ve missed that energy and expertise!"

“ Robert Gunton is not only an astounding voiceover coach, but he really encourages you to think about the craft. I had taken classes where Robert had acted as the instructor and benefited immensely from his direction and his thought process. When I had the opportunity to work with Robert individually, I immediately took the chance. Not only has Robert helped me to get my first paid booking, but he has helped and encouraged me even after the booking to grow in the craft and to understand different parts of the industry, including technical aspects. Not only that, he is a hilarious and makes the lessons fun and engaging. I wholeheartedly endorse him”
