“Amazing experience!”

China Kinski Q.
1/25/24

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.

“The SPIN LA recruiters will accept any kid.”

Scott N.
11/17/24

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.

Joe and his team at Society performers Academy are such a blessing! My 12-year-old daughter was having a very hard time with this pandemic and the social distancing! Society performers Academy not only took my Daughter from being so sad most of the time to smiling and showing interest in something again! Their kindness and caring is undeniable! Their Knowledge in not only the art what they are teaching but how they teach these kids and putting smiles on their faces, and giving them confidence that they never thought they had. All I can say is thank you to them And pass the word on as to how amazing this company is!

What an amazing group of people! Society Performers rocks! My daughter has always loved acting and has been afraid to try. As a teenager, she approached me about working with Society Performers. We researched Joe and his team, liked what we found and she auditioned with them. They quickly accepted her and have been so awesome with her. Her skills are growing and she is seeing her dream come true. The confidence in herself because of the great coaches is so uplifting. Whenever we have questions, they get back to us right away. They are very organized and efficient. Thank you Society Performers for helping mold her into something special!

Jennifer and Joe are amazing! My daughter absolutely loves the classes! I have seen so much growth in not only her performance but her confidence as well. It has really trickled down to all aspects of her life which is invaluable. She is really looking forward to continuing classes and learning more.

Society Performers Academy work really well with my child. They have a been a blessing. Joe is aways a phone call for any help/suggestions. SPA has put in hard work during this pandemic which gave my daughter some structure while she was quarantine and she kept learning during this time. Thank you Joe, Jen and all the fabulous teachers!

I cannot say enough great things about society Performers if you're looking to learn more about getting your kids started in the entertainment industry this is definitely the best way to start hands down! They help train your kids and prepare them to put them in front of talent agents at showcases which is by far the best way to be face to face with talent agents rather than just being amongst hundreds of submissions in their emails. Joe Lorenzo himself is in constant communication with all the parents and very helpful when you have any questions or concerns. Joe Lorenzo and his team are absolutely amazing and we are very grateful for this experience.

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! :)

SPA is rated #1 acting/Performance Academy from us. Joe Lorenzo is the best at answering all of our questions. All of the coaches are spectacular. My daughter decided that she wanted to train with them for a whole year.

I am so glad that I answered the call for the audition with Society Performers back in August/September of 2018! Joe and his staff of professionals are knowledgeable and patient. No question or concern is ever ignored and there's no question that the talents' best interests are always at the forefront when they are making even the smallest decision on their behalf. Truly cant wait to see what the future holds for my son!

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!

What can I say besides how awesome SPA has been for us. Hazel loves her coaches Jay And Joe and she is looking forward to adding more classes to her resume. We have met a lot of great people in the industry and can't wait to get an agent. We highly recommend SPA and Hazel is constantly talking about her coaches. I feel there is a tight knit in SPA and love how quickly the coaches communicate with us. We also love the little friendly competitions and events they host for the students. Thank you SPA for all you've done for us!

I am so happy I decided to sign my daughter up with Society Performers several months ago. Joe and his team really connect with the kids and you can tell they love what they do. I watch my daughter grow her talents weekly. This is such a great experience, I encourage everyone to give them a try!

Society Performers has been the best experience for our daughter Mia! Joe and Jen go above and beyond to coach, teach and guide. She has gained so much confidence, speaking skills, poise, patience and maturity. Above all she absolutely loves going to classes! I would highly recommend Society Performers to any child that wants to be on stage, dancing, singing, acting or just in general public speaking skills! We love our Mr. Joe and Miss Jen so very much! The best of the best in the industry for sure!

My daughter is 12 and has had the best experience at SPA. From the moment we entered the place, they have been super professional and responsive. They are experts in their field and have helped my daughter tremendously in just a short amount of time. The coaches they have to work with the kids are the best in the industry and Joe Lorenzo himself provides the most outstanding customer service, advice, and expertise there is. We are beyond lucky to have found this place and would highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you SPA for all you do!

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!

I cannot express how much my family and especially my son love Society Performers Academy. We have only been with Joe for about 4 months and my son has already been signed with a talent agent. Joe gets things done!

I was skeptical about my daughter getting into acting, until we met "Mr. Joe and Ms. Jenn". The attention Joe gives to each student is seemingly impossible(I swear he has found more hours in a day somewhere!) If you are thinking about introducing yourself or your child to the world of entertainment industry, Joe Lorenzo should be your first step.

Joe L is top notch! He has been nothing but patient and helpful every step of the way. I am so glad we found Society Performers! Due to covid our daughter was no longer able to attend in person classes at our local studio. This program is absolutely perfect. It has allowed her to continue pursuing acting and has given her some pretty amazing opportunities! Highly recommend!

The Brogan Agency loves working with Joe Lorenzo at Society Entertainment! He teaches one of the best classes in the business. We scout most of our young talent from him. We have singed many of his students, so we see them from the classroom to the contract. His classes produce some of the most professional young talent in the industry. His workshops are informative, organized, extremely professional, and well run. We are very grateful there is such a professional company out there such as Society Entertainment to get talent ready for the industry!

We love SPA! They took my 6yr old daughter right under their wing(s) and taught her a lot! They are patient, professional, and fun! They most certainly helped to boost my daughter's confidence and made sure she was ready for self tapes and auditions! With their help she's been getting through with flying colors! We're so grateful for the experience.

Joe and the team at Society Performers are the best of the best! My brother Chandler has attended since September and my daughter Colbie is starting this week! We have had nothing but support from all of the coaches and staff, leading Chandler to be signed by an Agent and a Manager within 6 months! Looking forward to Colbie's success here as well! Cannot recommend enough.

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!
