ACT Studio’s
Director, CD, Agent & Manager Workshops
ACT is dedicated to providing all actors with access to Directors, Casting Directors, Agents & Managers. ACT has always held and always will hold the position that it is unethical & wrong to charge actors to be "Seen".
ACT pledge's to NEVER charge for its On-Camera workshops and Agent/Manager events!
The highly success full 2007 "Summer & Fall" workshops gave over 400 actors one-on-one, On-Camera exposure to these industry decision makers. Countless actors were called in for auditions and dozens were hired for jobs from these workshops. Many actors have found representation also.
Introducing ACT Studio’s

The ACT 2008 On-Camera Goal:
To launch new Producer On-Camera Workshops.
To provide 500 actors with the opportunity to showcase their talent On-Camera to Directors, Casting Directors, Agents, Managers, and now Producers.
The first half of 2008 has been very exciting with 30+ workshops providing over 500 actors access to Hollywood decision makers! Sign-up now at workshops@actorscertifiedtraining.com and receive exclusive advanced notice and reservation opportunities for these special guests attending On-Camera workshops.

| Round Table & On-Camera Workshops |
What began as simple Casting Director Showcases has developed in to the premier (and quite possibly the ONLY) Film & Television Industry Round table Research & Development workshop in Hollywood involving Producers, Directors, Casting Directors, Agents, Managers and highly trained actors.
The A.C.T. mission is to find common problems existing both the hiring process and in the Director-on-camera-actor-on set relationship. With this knowledge we can stream line the casting process and erradicate inefficancies in respect to the actors work responsibilities in on-camera production.
What other training institution creates a collaborative environment where decision makers, trainers and actors work & eat together for the betterment of the Film & Television Industry?
