See some industry guest testimonials:

"As a Casting Director in NYC, I have been working with Actors Connection for a number of years. They have a great facility which accommodates both the actors and the industry to its highest standards. I have met many actors there and continue to bring them in for casting sessions - some of which have already booked! They offer a variety of ways to work and showcase with today's most prominent offices including the one-on-one meet and greets as well as multiple ongoing classes focusing on different mediums of the industry. Additionally, they have an amazing, warm staff and great talent to boot which always makes for a wonderful experience at Actors Connection."

- Stacy Seidel, Casting Director, Broadcasters

"I always enjoy my seminars at Actor's Connection. I find it a great way to meet potential talent. I can honestly say that the level of talent that Actor's Connection showcases has always been of the highest caliber. The structure of the seminars is a brilliant way for an actor to show themselves off. I always come away with an abundance of potential clients that I can then work on getting out on as many commercial projects as possible. I have had the pleasure of booking talent on national and regional commercials. It is always a thrill to inform a talent that I have met at a seminar that they have 'booked'."

- David McDermott, Agent, Jordan, Gill and Dornbaum

"I have been attending showcases at Actors Connection for many years and have had nothing but positive experiences each and every time. The level of talent is outstanding and I have signed many actors in the past several years. Many of those have gone on to book Broadway shows, National Tours, TV and Commercial spots. The staff is very professional and accommodating and make each and every visit an absolute pleasure."

- Craig Holzberg, Agent/Owner, Avalon Artists Group

  • 3-Week Advanced Animation VO with Darren Dunstan

    Reviewed by Addison F. on 3/20/2024
    Darren is a phenomenal teacher. Every professional voice actor I have worked with has sang his praises and it is extremely easy to see why. He goes above and beyond and really knows how to speak to all different types of personalities. I have no idea how he even finds the time to do this because this guy is ALWAYS working! Pay attention when he is working with others in your group because sometimes it's easier to hear exactly what he's talking about when you're not focusing on your own script. I went old school analogue and brought a pen and paper and by the end of the three weeks I had a lot of solid info I used on auditions. Believe it or not, I have been doing extremely well since course. If you think you've finally learned it all, you haven't. Check out Darren you won't regret it!

    Absolutely fantastic! I learned a lot from it, and taking both this and the intro class is one really nice package. Definitely worth the cost. Darren is very positive and uplifting throughout- which is quite contagious! I tend to be very nervous, but he makes the class incredibly welcoming. My only complaint is that there aren't more classes to take haha!

    Absolutely amazing! Darren does a wonderful job encouraging the entire class and has many ways to spin a scene. I learned a lot from this- especially dubbing as I hadn't gotten a chance to try it yet. The classes covered an array of different types of scripts, and he was great at matching scripts to voices as the classes continued. I'm excited to be returning in his advanced course!

  • Voice Over Intensive with Lisa Fischoff

    Anonymous review on 2/18/2021
    She was helpful in her critiques, but it was slated to go for 2 hours and only went for one. So there was definitely time to have us go again and get even more feedback, but they ended early instead. I didn't feel like there was a whole lot of teaching since she had each of us just repeat our assignment once after one moment of feedback.
