My name is Dani I have been honored to be working with Joe and Society Performers for about a year and I continue to be impressed with how professional, kind and knowledgeable everyone involved with Society Performers is. I can't recommend SPA enough and look forward to continue working with Joe and the SPA team!

My daughter Jaliyah has a passion for acting and SPA has gained her confidence and her acting has improved 100%. The coaches are amazing. They take their time to teach the kids. They are patient and answer questions when they need help. They give them feedback when they feel they can perform better. Joe and his team communication is awesome! It's always has been a fast response. And not to mention, my daughter has done her first showcase and gotten a callback so we are very excited about that. I can't thank SPA enough for everything that they have helped us with. So if anyone is considering an academy, you should consider SPA.

Short review: I would absolutely recommend SPA. We are very happy with the program. If you want to get your kid into the acting industry, SPA is the program you need if you don't have the knowledge or connections.

Long review: I saw an ad on Facebook for a kids acting workshop and thought it would be Cool for my daughter to learn acting. I took her to an open audition at the Hyatt Regency in Princeton, NJ.

The people there were very professional and told us that this was an industry workshop and the kids would be auditioning for talent agents in a showcase at the end. They informed us about how the industry works and warned against paying talent agents up front for representation.

They clearly explained that their role was to prepare the kids to be industry ready professionals which is what the top talent agencies look for when booking new talent. She auditioned, received a call back, and started the program about a week later.

There is a wealth of education provided by Society Performer's Academy. Not only do they teach the children, but they teach the parents too. Joe was always on standby to answer all of my questions. The workshops were taught by real industry actors and models.

They always made it clear that there is no guarantee that a talent agent will pick you. It will ultimately be up to you and your child to do the work. We followed the program and all of Joe's suggestions. She received 2 call backs from talent agencies.

Thank you Society Performer's Academy!

I wanted to take a few minutes to recognize Joe Lorenzo, and our Society Performers Academy. This a academy of family. We have been associated with this academy for over a year now. What a amazing platform for our children interested in performing in any facet. My daughter is actively perusing singing & acting. Joe is not a entity behind the curtain, but a hands on floor General who puts together some of the best curriculum, events, and shares his platform, experience, and his network of relationships industry wide with every family and child. He is complimented by his unbelievable staff that work tirelessly to prepare our kids for success. Not only in performing, but also in character building, communication and personal development, responsibility, as well as dedication and discipline to what they love to do. All while having fun and mastering each child's own development in their craft. As a father to a daughter, this industry can be challenging and scary at times. Being a part of SPA has allowed my child to flourish, build confidence, and allowed me to have a high level of comfortability with Joe's guidance and parental approach to our children. We just were a part of the biggest Gala show at SPIN 2022. WOW! I can only say that my daughter will never forget her experience. She performed in the production after auditioning. For anyone on the fence, or has reservations about putting your child in performing arts, I would say I recommend SPA. This is the best fraternity of family to join and meet other parents and friends. To help our children develop social skills and fuel their competitive drive for success. And lastly, to get a hands on team that walks us through the beginning stages of a robust industry with parent education. I can not say enough about our experiences or how much we have learned with SPA. Not to mention the preparedness we have obtained just being a part of Society Performers Academy. Thank you SPA!

From the beginning to the end Joe and Society Performers Academy are well worthy of five stars all the way through! Our son had zero experience and is now signed with an agent after having multiple inquiries! The process was amazingly easy, but very professional. Not only did my son learn so much from this program, but myself and my husband did as well. I highly recommend if you or your child are interested in the entertainment industry Joe and the crew at Society Performers Academy are the right place to start your future career.

My daughter is new to this school and she has enjoyed every minute. The acting coaches bring diversity in their style and really encourages growth. Often times, it is very hard to determine reliable resources and so we are glad to find this school because it has provided good information and training so far and we are so grateful. It's good to see creative, virtual opportunities available during the pandemic.

Society Performers Academy is a Fantastic Agency. My son took his first acting classes there and the instructors were amazing! As a new parent in this business, Joe was able to guide me and answered all my questions into the process, I totally recommend them.

We have had an amazing experience with Society Performers Academy! We recently started on this journey with our daughters and knew little about the industry. Joe and his team have been phenomenal in guiding us through the process of getting our girls started. They have a variety of talented and experienced coaches to teach in areas of acting, vocal and dance. Each coach we have had has been great and have offered different techniques and expertise which has been invaluable in learning different approaches. Joe has been so engaged in our journey, always accessible, quick response and checks in after each step of the way. Finally, the opportunities that became available from participating in this program have been amazing in such a short period of time. Showcases were professional and offered our girls an opportunity to work with top level agents. Would definitely recommend everything about this program!

I love everything about this Academy! My daughter is thriving as she is learning so much! She plans to pursue an acting career and this has given her such a jump start! Thank you SO much Joe Lorenzo and staff for making such a positive difference in our lives! We DEFINITELY recommend this company!

Our family is new to this experience, and we were well taken care of at Society Performer's Academy! We were drawn to Joe and the way he does business - he knows his stuff and expects the best from his staff. He passes this on to his coaches and students as well! Our daughter was able to sign on with an agent at the end of her program, and loved her experience... Thank you SPA!

We love Society Performers Academy! As a teacher, I know how hard it can be to keep students engaged and all the coaches seriously are the most engaging, professional and motivating individuals. My daughter loves attending class everyday and she is attentive during all her sessions. She is learning so much and increasing her acting skills with the support of the amazing team. And Joe Lorenzo, best ever! He is extremely personable, replies to emails in less than 24 hours, and is knowledgeable on what it takes to make it in the industry. We are blessed that my daughter has the opportunity to be surrounded by a great team! Worth every penny! She loved every showcase and landed an agent within a few weeks. Thank you, Joe and team! We appreciate you! You guys rock! When Kennedy lands her big show(fingers crossed), it will all be thanks to you all. Thank you for your commitment to your students! :)

My kids love their virtual acting lessons here, the coaches are amazing and the overall staff is very nice and helpful. I like the fact that Joe reaches out in person for important information. 10 stars to SPA!

My 8-year-old daughter decided she wanted to be famous one day and we signed up with Society Performers Academy. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves in to, but Joe Lorenzo and his team has been helpful every step of the way! The teachers are talented, patient, and gave mindful feedback to help her growth. Joe is super responsive and gives great advice during her journey as she takes steps to further her experience! After only a month of taking classes, she signed with a talent agent! We are super excited about our next strides during this adventure and will continue our training with Society Performers Academy! Thanks Joe and team!

Our 8 year old son began taking acting and singing classes with Society Performers 2 months ago. He likes to pretend and play make believe and expressed interest in being an actor/performer.

Our experience thus far can only be described as outstanding.

Here are just a few of the reasons...

- Before you work with society performers they take the time to talk to you about what the entertainment industry is like for both a parent and a child. The consultation never felt rushed. They answered every question we had, while also offering informative advice.

- They offer a wide variety of packages and times to take classes based upon your budget and schedule.

- Their coaches are exceptional actors and performers in their own right. Their talent and experience is evident and if you listen to their advice you will improve after each class. Each coach has a different style but they all take the time to provide informative and thoughtful feedback to each child.

- All of the coaches are disciplined about getting the most out of each class, but at the same time they work well with kids. My son enjoys the classes and has also learned to take critical feedback and strive to improve.

- I get the sense that each coach really enjoys what they do. I've never felt like any coach was rushing or didn't want to be there. In fact, quite the opposite, I can see the energy they put into each class and each child to help them improve.

- Once a month, they give each child the opportunity to perform for an agent that has been vetted by the company.

- Their support staff is available via text message or email and they are highly responsive, friendly and easy to work with.

- They keep you informed via email and social media about auditions and open casting calls.

I could go on and on. It is so refreshing to see such an incredibly well run organization, especially when they are working on behalf of you child. I passionately recommend society performers to anyone who is looking to work in the entertainment industry!

My daughter loves the classes. I can see her confidence building. She loves to dance and now act. SPA offers the best of both worlds. We just re-enrolled my daughter in another month of classes. The online environment makes it really convenient for our busy lifestyle. Thank you Joe and the rest of the SPA team. We are so glad we found you! Lots of xoxo from the Sanders family.

I have a 16 year old who loves to make videos and has said," I want to be on Disney!"forever. Well we just started at SPA. My son is getting the feel for acting and is loving it! The coaches are amazing and they give constructive criticism to help the kids with there future careers. They are always there for you when you have a question. Turn around time on any questions is unbelievable. They give you all the information you need on how to get started with an agent: manager. They provide showcases on both sides of the US east and west coast. Definitely recommend them to start your child's career. Break a leg

We are new to this, but every time I have a question or need help with something Joe and his team (Amy and Brielle) are so quick to respond and don't seem to mind how many questions I have to ask to ensure I'm dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's.
Also, the amount of coaching time and prep time for showcases is great! If you aren't taking full advantage of the talented coaches you are missing out. My daughter has learned a lot in a short time!
Thank you Joe and team for all of the help and here's hoping things go well and we have a long relationship!

Joining SPA was the perfect program to give my daughter a sense of normalcy while doing what she loves. The coaches in the program were so engaging and hands on that it didn't feel like it was virtual. We can only imagine the experience when things return to in person which we look forward to. Joe is also very personable and communicates very well with his performers. Thanks for all the great tips and even parent workshops. We feel more comfortable and confident as we navigate through this business thanks to your training.
