"I too wanted to thank you for all of your careful planning and detailed efforts on the Actors Connection LA Trip. Not only did I have an incredible time, get a high speed, condensed intro to LA, and meet tons of people, but I was also called in by 2 casting directors and booked one of the jobs. All that and I now have a circle of tight-knit, supportive, wonderful people here in Los Angeles. As a result, two of those people are now my partners in a new production company and we have written the first draft of our first feature screenplay. All this in a matter of 3 months from setting foot on Cali soil. You have helped me to change the trajectory of my life and career. Thank you." - July 2011
"I wanted to thank you again for all the patience, time, and planning you put into the LA Connection. Thank You. I just booked a Guest Star role on Chuck through Todd Sherry! Again, Thank You. Now the SAG goal is achieved. We shoot next Friday! The LA Connection has just paid for itself !" July 2011

"This has been life changing and I just wanted to put into words how wonderful the LA Connection experience was. I have been telling all my LA friends about it and they can't believe the jump start I got into the LA market. After the LA Connection week, Bob Lambert called me in to be a recurring hospital intern on All My Children, Sherie Hernandez called me in for the new series Free Agents and I got called in for a meeting with Brian Duensing from Talentworks. Thanks again !" - July 2011

"Just got back to NYC and wanted to write to thank you again, so much, for everything
you did for us during LA Connection. It was such an amazing experience! I'm so excited to be moving to LA ASAP and that decision had so much to do with how wonderful LA Connection was for me. Not only the industry people we met, but also the other incredible actors I got to work with and who I can now call family - seriously. So, thank you again."
- July 2011
"I want to thank you so very much for everything you've done and continue to do for this program and all of us 'strangers in a strange land.' As I constantly rave about the whole experience to my friends and family, I realize over and over that on my own, I could never have seen, talked to, and auditioned for the sheer number and quality of guests you presented to me last week. I hope I was able to live up to your reputation and help you shine in their eyes even more than you already do. I'm living here in LA now, so please, please don't hesitate to ask if there's ever anything I can do for you. What you have done for me is priceless."
- July 2011
"Thank you so much for including me in this amazing program. I truly had a blast! I learned so much in the past week and I also feel an enormous confidence boost in my auditioning skills. The program you put together was truly magical and I'm already deep in withdrawal. You were such a positive support and the heart of the group. I am so excited to see what the future holds for all of us. I'm looking forward to more LA programs for Actors Connection! Being in this program truly made me feel like taking my acting career to the next level is possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you! " 
- July 2011
"Thank you so much for everything this week! The workshops were amazing! This opportunity meant a great deal to me, and I am truly appreciative. You have been extremely supportive, kind, and generous to me. Your believing in me helped me believe in myself, which is an invaluable gift. I will never forget it. Yesterday, I booked a role on Criminal Minds! It's no coincidence that I had just seen Scott David at LA Connection, which, of course, was because of you! Thank you so much !!!"
- July 2011
"I just had to thank you again for what was truly an INCREDIBLE week. I did some of the best work I have ever done for the casting directors, agents, and managers, and it was because you set the tone for us on the very first day we all met each other as well as your role in the program throughout the entire week. I could not have done it without such a wonderful support system. Thank you so much."
