Society Performers Academy

It was truly professional and great from the very first moment. All from the rehersals and bootcamps, to parent-trainings and overview, auditions and call-backs, meeting agents, and not to forget the pep-rally and gala-night! This was the best week in daughters life. I definatly recomend Society Performers Academy and SPIN. Hopefully we will be back againg!:-)

We went to SPIN 2024 and we had such a memorable and fun experience. We learned so much through this process. Joe and his team did such an amazing job organizing and handling all the kids. They truly have an eye for talent, my daughter Kamille made so many new talented and beautiful friends. Everything was so organized and such an easy process. My daughter got multiple call backs and I couldn't be more grateful to have met some managers and agents who truly believe in her! Thank you Joe and to your team for doing such an amazing job. What Joe and his team got going on is truly amazing. Wish them more success in this industry and business. We love love spin and couldn't be more thankful for our experience.

My daughter has had the absolute pleasure of being a part of Society Performers Academy since 2019. Since she first started at the academy, she has taken countless classes with a number of incredible teachers in both acting and singing. And the owner Joe Lorenzo has been there every step of the way. There is no denying how important Society Performers Academy is to him. He familiarizes himself with the kids and parents on a personal level and responds to questions or concerns super quickly. More often than not he is responding to an email within hours of me sending it out. I have watched my daughter grow in confidence and abilities and she has developed an understanding of the business and all the work and dedication it requires to be successful. Joe Lorenzo and his staff do not promise instant stardom for these kids. Nor should they, as the entertainment industry is a tough business. But what they do provide is a safe atmosphere to develop their skills and grow to be as successful as possible.

January 2024 was special for us because our daughter finally got to attend Society Performers in nationals (SPiN). Five amazing days at the Millenium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles among countless other children from all over the United States and even internationally. It was a melting pot of like-minded kids and young adults who shared similar interests and motivations. Our daughter trained and competed in front of several agents and received numerous callbacks. She performed in the Showcase event in front of a crowded ballroom. But more importantly, she made tons of new friends and gained more confidence than I could ever have imagined. She hasn't stopped talking about the event even a month later. It was an amazing experience for the entire family and the perfect vehicle for my daughter to move her young career forward.

Society Performers Academy is the real deal. And gives back as much as your child (and family) put in, and then some. Highly recommended.

I am writing this review to highlight our experience of working with Society Performer Academy over the last 6 months and attending SPiN January 2024 in Los Angeles.

Our experience with this group has been absolutely amazing. We have gained invaluable experience, insights, and connections in the entertainment industry, all of which would otherwise be completely out of our reach. Our 8-year-old has significantly developed her acting skills and had a blast along the way, and we parents have gained deep knowledge on how to maximize her chances of getting signed with an agency and booked for jobs through the resources and network SPA provides.

We started with SPA at a local audition in San Antonio, TX, and were thrilled when we got a callback that day. I'll admit that I was a bit daunted by the cost initially, but based on the research we did, we took the chance to go all in with SPA and sign up to receive coaching and attend SPiN 6 months later. I am so glad we did. Following our initial sign-up in San Antonio, we went through several in-person and virtual coaching sessions, informational sessions, and auditions. This all built up to SPiN, which we just attended in Los Angeles. SPiN was out-of-this-world fantastic. Our daughter developed a crazy amount of acting skills and confidence as she went through the program's coaching sessions, auditions in front of agents, and other events over the course of just a few days. She also had a blast at the hotel, making friends, and even meeting celebrities. We parents also had a super fun time and were extremely impressed with how well-run the event was, and how authentic and quality Joe Lorenzo and his team are.

I also want to highlight Joe Lorenzo, CEO of SPA. In working with Joe before and during SPiN, it is very apparent that this man and this business is 100% genuinely dedicated to helping young aspiring actors and their families get into the industry. His level of commitment in assisting all the kids and parents was paramount, as he responds to texts and emails almost instantly and in person was always very approachable, friendly, and helpful. He is a phenomenal, authentic, and strong leader, and it really was an honor getting to work with him and see him run SPiN.

Our experiences with SPA and at SPiN has produced a very strong return on our investment of money and time. I hope this review helps others recognize the opportunity that SPA can provide.

Society Performers is truly everything a parent is wanting for their kid and more! Is your child into modeling, acting, singing, or dancing or all of them? They have professionals with LOADS of experience in all fields. And, the energy is SO positive! No egos, but that all starts with the Joe and his team. The camaraderie is what TOPS it all! The children make such good friends and when they are together through so much, memories begin that will be cherished forever! We just finished SPiN January 2023 and already were offered a contract from an agent not even 24 hours after we met the 32 agents!

It was our first experience for us and I admit we were very skeptical. Then throughout this journey we had a really great team that answers all our questions instantly. I was very impressed by Joe he was responsiveness and made sure everything was on track. I know how overwhelming it has to be to manage many families with different time zone.I felt that we were in good hands. My son has a very fun time with his friends at each session. Thank you for the opportunity you gave to our children. As today my son as a call back and be soon auditioning for the agency and could be sign; fingerscrossed. So far it's an amazing news!

Society Performers is THE place to be when you aspire to become a young actor! Their coaches are very experienced and give clear & constructive feedback. Their staff is super responsive & helpul, and Joe Lorenzo is just the BEST - He guides you well and is very kind & respectful. My child is in good hands & after just 3 months with them, he has already booked a movie role! We are SO proud of him, and thankful to SPA - You guys ROCK!

If someone were to tell me years ago that 7 agents called me back and were interested in working with me I would have said your insane. But it's the truth and Society Performers did just that. I've only been in the program for about 6 months now and it has completely changed the way I look at myself everyday. Society Performers has the best of the best coaches that teaches you the ropes of this business and it truly is a family there. This whole experience has truly changed my life.

My seven year old daughter Taylor had an amazing experience at Society Performers. The staff was so warm, helpful, and friendly. Joe is the best at what he does and has a lot of industry connections, he's the real deal! My daughter loved the classes and had so much fun. The photo shoot was great and she received 2 call backs already! All the way around this experience was amazing 10 out of 10!

My daughter absolutely loves acting and singing and dancing - I wasn't sure there was a need for an acting school just because she practiced all day everyday. But these classes were amazing and opened up a whole new understanding of what it takes to perform scripts effectively. We practiced a lot for each class, the teachers were all positive and encouraging and the parent class about the industry was well put together and helped us out a lot - we had so much to learn and appreciate the guidance of this great academy. Thank you sincerely!

As an amateur to the whole experience you and your staff was available with an answer for EVERY QUESTION (even when the question was asked a coupleof times LOL!). We was never turned away and welcomed with excitement and superb professionalism. With that I will like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. My granddaughter Treasure Sermons will never forget this opportunity and the smile that the whole staff put on her face will always be a photo etched in my head and heart

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 had the best time learning from all you Coaches. Would definitely do it all over again! Monthly parent meeting was so informative.

When my daughter started her classes with Society Performers I was unsure of what to expect. This was all new territory to us but it turned out to be an excellent experience for me and my daughter Ariana. Society Performers are so clear and thorough in terms of their expectations, which makes it so much easier to follow along for someone new to the acting industry. They are always quick and efficient when it comes to responding to emails and helping out when needed! My daughter Ariana loved her classes and her coaches! She has learned so much and gained so much more confidence in such a short amount of time. She has gotten her first call back and we are so thankful to Society Performers and excited for her journey!

Don't fall for this crap. It's a huge scam like a pyramid skin is set up to make you funneling money and you don't get nothing in return.
They go from city to city hotel to hotel.
Similar to a pyramid scam but even worse because they're scamming children.

I knew my daughter needed to do acting school. One day I filled out a form and ended up taking my daughter to an info session.

We got the script and she memorized. I wasn't "all in."

I remember thinking to myself, "Is this a hoax?" I called Joe Lorenzo myself and asked questions. He answered, respectfully. Everything he said was true.

I can tell you this experience was awesome for my daughter. The amount of time she put in was great. She learned so much. Most importantly, she learned a skill set that she will have and she can apply it in her day to day activities.

Thank you so much Society Performers Academy. And shout out to Joe Lorenzo! You are truly an amazing businessman and leader!

SPA is a great academy for young aspiring actors. Experienced coaches who take the time to identify each students talents and bring the best out of them. My daughter is learning, growing as artist and enjoying her classes.

Society Performers Academy is a top notch organization that delivers on what they promise. The owner, Joe, maintains great communication with parents throughout the process, provides comprehensive support from the time you start with them through the point of gaining representation in the business, and is accessible for any advice or needs, in general. Our son is 8 years old and has had a positive experience taking acting, vocal and hip hop classes. He's enjoyed working with several coaches on staff and gained valuable knowledge and skills. In less than two months he's been presented with several opportunities for representation, which we're very excited about. We highly recommend SPA!

I have been reading reviews and I don't understand how some people are saying this is not a scam! They put out a notice stating they are auditioning kids for XYZ and sell you an amazing story when you get to the audition. They then send an email that night stating the prices of their packages to train your child. The more money you spend, the more agents your child can "meet." This is not an audition this is an academy to train children. The packages start at $1k not including the photo shoot that is required. You are tearing these kids down, not building them up by giving false hopes.

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 were skeptical at first but Nina learned so much with SPA and SPIN was a great experience for both of us, new connections and valuable information. We love SPA and Joe Lorenzo.

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.
