We sat in a large room packed full of people, Our turn came up for my kid to perform. My kid didn't put in very much effort compared to most. In my eyes, my kid shouldn't have advanced to the next round due to lack of effort. Later on that night, surprisingly my kid got accepted... I took her to the second Sunday audition but got there very early and observed 4 other families with kids go in and get the same scripted response. "wow, your so good!" try that again but give it a little more energy. Well, I've seen all I need to see, I'd like to work with you, you have been accepted yeaa! And the family walks out after paying $1000 USD after a discount. My Daughter was next and still didn't do very well, but she was instantly accepted and then I was asked to make a payment so she can advance to another round on Tuesday. Its not about talent, but about how much you pay them.

Was expecting to go in and audition for a certain show or commercial to end up getting told to pay them over 1k to help with my acting career… over 40 people came with their kids and waisted their morning…

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!

Amazing Experience!
December 6, 2022

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!

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!

The real deal!
October 25, 2022

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!

Wonderful experience!
February 20, 2023

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!

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!

Amazing experience!
January 25, 2024

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.

SPA (SPIN) is AMAZING!
January 22, 2023

My experience thus far has been great.

The team is super responsive and readily avaialble to answer all and any questions one may have. The opportunity that they offer and exposure to the agents is a whole other world. These are opportunities that not all kids are getting. These are agents that come as they know Joe and know the quality of talent he has. Like in anything there are levels of growth and experience. Jana is still entry. However, since joining SPA I do see growth in her confidence to perform in front of 100+ people. The coaches are so loving and surprisingly soooo patient. They actually encourage the kids to become better.

Thank you SPA and Team!

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!

It's a scam
September 17, 2023

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 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

Awesome Team!
June 30, 2021

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!

An Amazing Experience!
September 15, 2021

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.

We met Joe Lorenzo back in May of this year and it has been nothing but greatness since! My four year old daughter has learned so much from him and his team in such a short period of time. My daughter has had so much fun since starting this journey. He is very professional and personable. After my daughter did some training with him, she was given the opportunity to audition in front of agents and managers. Because of that opportunity my daughter now has a manager and an agent! She just had her first job and finished taping yesterday! If you're looking for someone honest and is truly all about your child then SPA and Joe Lorenzo is the way to go. We are finished our training with him and he still checks in to see my daughter is doing! There's no one like him!

As a mom, I want my daughter to reach her fullest potential and with Society Performers Academy they let her be her true self. I found it hard to engage my daughter's energy until I gave her this safe space to learn, build her confidence and bring all the joy she has to give to her many audiences. She is happy and Joe works tirelessly to keep her that way. He teaches my family about the industry and brings in experts to help guide her potential. We appreciate you!
