Actors and Artists Group

Your stage. Your show. So live it.

We develop actors and we train companies, using the same craft. Real performers, real rooms, real preparation for the moment that counts.

Actors and Artists Group

For actors

Build the career, not just the reel.

Classes, coaching, taping and representation from people who are working actors themselves. You get the training and the connections in the same place.

  • Acting classes
  • Audition tapes
  • Demo reels
  • Representation

For companies

Train your people on real actors.

Difficult conversations do not go the way the slide deck says. We supply trained performers who play the customer, the patient or the employee, so your team practises on a person instead of a script.

  • Role play
  • Learning videos
  • Virtual training
  • Presentation skills
Talent is everywhere. Access is not.
Deshawn King, Founder

Questions

Before you get in touch.

Do I need experience to take a class?
No. We work with people who have never been on a set and with actors who work regularly. Tell us where you are and we will place you correctly.
What does corporate role play actually involve?
Trained performers play the customer, patient, employee or stakeholder your team has to handle. Your people practise the real conversation with someone who will not break character. Rates start at $50 per hour per performer.
Can you shoot my self-tape if I am not local?
Yes. We direct and review tapes remotely as well as shooting them in person.
Do you offer representation?
We provide casting submissions and guidance, and we make introductions where the fit is right. Representation is discussed case by case.
How much does it cost?
Every service is priced on the services page, from $20 networking events to full production. Nothing is quoted after the fact.
How do I start?
Book a free consultation. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right people for what you need.
