Success Stories
Luna SIGNED with Bohemia Group after meeting Naomi Kolstein in an AC seminar.
Luna Tieu, November 2020
"My Actor's success story is pretty phenomenal. When the pandemic happened in the beginning of the year I thought about what is going to happen for the industry. what are we going to be able to do so we can be able to stay on top of the craft and feed the hunger to learn and keep our skill top-notch. In March I came across Free at Three with host Colleen. Free at Three literally changed my entire acting career, it had me on top of it every day with a clear path and focus. I have connected with so many actors, casting directors, agents, managers, you name it everyone in the industry was on the zoom call weather they were on as a guest speaker or to sit in on the conversations. Not only have I connected with many I have also learned a lot more then I have in any paid class I've taken. Colleen is a doll and has been there every step of the way to support us, actors, in this tough time when we thought everything has come to an end."

"All of the guests at the Atlanta Legit Agent Night were kind and gave constructive advice. On the feedback card, Susan Tolar Walters sent along her contact info so we could have a subsequent meeting. I’m happy to say it went well and I’m now SIGNED with STW talent. Because she has offices in both NYC and Atlanta, I’m now being submitted in both markets!"

"After attending a seminar with Suzy Friedman, Friedman West, in 2006 at AC, she became my agent. She booked me for major Commercials and large company Industrials. I always took advantage of seminars with Agents at Actors Connection. They are professional and provide a community for all Actors in many stages of their careers. I am a successful Actor in the Midwest, still taking advantage of what Actors Connection has to offer."

It was mutual, and I’m now signed with SW Artists!"

"I just want to thank Actors Connection for hosting the “free at three” series. It really has been a joy to watch during this quarantine. It was there that I met Wayne Gasser and watched his Q&A session. He seemed like such an awesome, genuine manager so I signed up for his one on one seminar via Zoom and had the pleasure of performing a scene for him. We connected extremely well and he loved my look! We stayed in touch and I took two of his cold reading classes via Zoom before he decided to sign me and become my manager! It wouldn’t have been possible without Actors Connection making the introduction so thank you so much!"
