SPiN LA

SPA is a Top School in the entertainment industry lead by the most professional coaches.
A big huge thank you to Joe Lorenzo and his awesome SPA team!
It was so amazing! I can't believe that my 14 year old daughter started taking classes with SPA in late October and just got signed by LA Talent agent right after her first showcase. She only has trained with SPA for 30 days. SO INCREDIBLE AND UNBELIEVABLE!
I truly appreciate Joe and his talented team for coaching and guiding my daughter to take the next step into her career in acting.
Thank you so much Joe for giving Kayla a great opportunity on pursuing her dream career. She enjoyed her acting classes so much and will continue taking classes there for growth.
I Highly Recommend SPA!

I highly recommend Society Performer Academy. We started this journey with our daughter in September knowing little to nothing about the industry. My daughter has always had a passion for acting so my husband and I took a leap of faith and it has been an amazing experience. Joe and his team are phenomenal and extremely professional. From acting class (virtual and in-person), photo shoots and showcases, they've held our hand every step of the way. Kaysen has now become more comfortable with monologues, scripts and commercials.

Her coaches Emily Nelson and Day'nah Cooper are amazing. They both offered different techniques and expertise which has been invaluable in learning different approaches. The criticism is professional and truthful. As a parent I felt comfortable with feedback, it was honest, raw and helpful. They provided a friendly, safe and structured environment. The classes are very fun, helpful and the children and staff wore their mask. I also attended an informational seminar online for parents that are new to the industry, it was very helpful.

Kaysen has received several callbacks from her showcases and Joe has been one call away to help with every step. He has been so engaged in our journey, always accessible, quick response and checks in after each step of the way. If you're serious about this business and really want to see your child blossom into their full potential, I highly recommend SOCIETY PERFORMERS ACADEMY. SPA is amazing.

SPA coaches and staff are bar none the best! The support and expertise always shared is truly appreciated!

As a Talent Agent in one the longest standing Commercial Print Agencies FFT I have been to a number of showcases... I was so impressed by Joe's touching TLC for all his Talent as well as the whole experience he creates for them. They all had the moment to shine.
For the perspective talent I could see not only were they given the tools they needed to perform but were instructed on stage savy and style.

The Talent Industry is very cut throat but Joe Society prepares talent with professionalism and pizazz.

We are having the BEST experience with Society Performers Academy! My daughter loves the classes and has improved so much! Joe is absolutely fantastic to work with and is a true professional!

After auditioning and being accepted into the Society Performers family, we signed our 7 year old up for the "Oscar Program". We knew he loved to perform, and wanted to give him the opportunity to hone his skills and decide if this was definitely something he wanted to pursue. His program required a 1 hour class 5 days a week for 6 weeks, and "homework" between each class so that he would come prepared. We weren't sure what to expect, especially for a kid so young. What we saw was truly incredible. His teachers were patient, yet strict and professional. They did not accept excuses, and pushed him to do the best work he was capable of. The notes from each class were insightful and pointed, and the environment was so professional you almost forgot these were kids. When he completed his program he had improved so much it was remarkable, we were really blown away!

Not only were we able to confirm that he was driven and capable of heading down this path professionally, he left his showcase's with a management contract and has been steadily auditioning for serious roles ever since.

We couldn't be happier with Society Performers and the great work they helped to bring out of our kid! He is thriving while doing exactly what he has always wanted to do. We couldn't have done any of this without Joe and Society Performers!

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.

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!

There aren't enough words to describe how ecstatic our family is to know Joe Lorenzo and have our daughter be a student at Society Performers Academy. Joe is not only super professional and detail oriented, but he is approachable, affable, and a straight shooter, which is something that I think is rare nowadays in this industry. With the world facing these unprecedented times and we are forced to quarantine at home, Joe and his fabulous Society Performers team have leapt into action to assist our kids by immediately getting them all online to take classes to learn, to grow, stay active and help them become successful performers. Our daughter has loved that the virtual classes have given her the opportunity to stay creative and engage with some talented coaches through acting and dancing classes. The coaches are relatable and make it so much fun for students, but also keep them on track and give valuable feedback that they can apply toward their monologues. My daughter has been enjoying working on many different projects, contests and being part of a community that cares. On top of all of this Joe has been hosting bi-weekly virtual chats with industry professionals and talent agents that are so informative and have really helped me navigate the path of how to get an agent and simply get started in this industry. I can't recommend Society Performers Academy enough and I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed! Our family is grateful that Joe was able to enthusiastically pivot to provide a truly rewarding experience during this new normal so our budding artists can succeed in this industry. Thank you, Joe, we admire your passion and commitment to excellence!

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!

I will say that going into this, I was a bit uncertain with the value we would get for our money. We found Society Performers Academy through an IG ad that looked like an audition to get your kid on Network TV. Yes, it was an audition, but the audition is to determine whether your kid has what it takes to join their academy and train to become true performers. Our initial interface felt like we might be getting suckered into an MLM or timeshare scam, but IT WAS NOT. WE ARE SO GRATEFUL that we stuck it out with SPA. That experience only improved once meeting Joe Lorenzo. He is the owner and is so incredibly personable.

Our daughter participated in an initial course package that included acting classes and a showcase in front of 2 agents. Although she did not get signed at the time, she went on to take additional courses and prepare for SPA's Nationals conference (Society Performers In Nationals (SPiN)). Oh my goodness. As adults we have the exposure to grow our career by networking and attending conference workshops. This is similar to the experience we had at SPiN. After 3 days of intense training, fun modeling workshops, and a dance party. Our 6 year old auditioned in front of 32 agents and casting directors. Not only was she much more prepared, she was confident. She ended up getting 11 callbacks with these agencies. She really liked that she had the option to follow-up with interested agencies and pick one that she felt suited her interests and made her most comfortable. Without SPiN, I highly doubt she would've had this opportunity. Our daughter is now signed with one of the highest acclaimed agencies in Hollywood and is so excited to see what other opportunities are to come. THANK YOU JOE and the whole SPA Team. <3

I cannot say enough enough positive things about Joe Lorenzo, the amazing coaches on staff and SPA as an organization. My children have truly blossomed not only in their self confidence, but in their creativity as well. It has been amazing to watch them connect with their coaches, practice their lines and expand their goals and enthusiasm for acting and modeling. I am always grateful for the personal guidance/feedback that the kids receive and the prompt responsiveness to all of my questions. As a protective parent who spends a lot of time researching backgrounds/safety measures of anyone whom I entrust with their care and wellbeing, I can honestly say I have felt safe and comfortable with all of the coaches and staff members at SPA. Joe has answered all of my questions, ensures that all staff undergo background checks and has created a safe place for my children to grow and thrive in their personal goals as future models and actors. As I have been keenly observing interactions between my children and the coaches I have seen each of them display and model good boundaries and professionalism at all times. I am truly grateful that on their own accord, my children have courageously challenged themselves to learn and be coached by the best in the business. As a parent, there is nothing more comforting than to see their coaches care for them, deliver constructive feedback in a clear and meaningful way and have their goals/best interests in mind. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend SPA to any child or young adult who has goals of enhancing their acting, modeling, singing or dancing skills and a future career. SPA is a wonderful organization and my family has genuine gratitude for our experience thus far and excitement for our future in acting and modeling.
