BOTTOM LINE: You have to KNOW somebody who KNOWS somebody. Shine KNOWS those somebodies and they know Shine. They teach us what you need to know!
WARNING: It's a MISTAKE to be seen BEFORE you're ready. WHY? FIRST IMPRESSIONS matter, MEGA A LOT!
Shine delights in sharing its Time-Proven Formula because we love helping people SHINE! It’s our mission and life’s work. The larger Shine Team is a collaboration of excellent Coaches, VIPs, and Intelligent Artists.
You need BRANDED headshots in your most marketable CHARACTER TYPES. Your headshots are the FIRST LINE of ACCEPTANCE or REJECTION. Good isn't good enough.
NOTE: Our Coaches can help you get to know your best headshot hairstyle, makeup, angles, smiles, and wardrobe that are to the Current Industry Standards.

Self-submissions RULE the industry. You need to master VIP-accepted lighting, sound, background, cropping, posture, look and slate.

Our coaches will help you develop a Critical Analytical Eye so you'll know what's good and what's not.

YAY! You’ve actually gotten a callback! BUT you can easily LOSE BIG if you don't know face-to-face VIP interview Deal-Makers and Deal-Breakers.
TRUTH: Our Coaches will help you fix what you can't see and hear in minutes - quirks that would take you years to detect and resolve.
FACT: Once mastered interview skills becomes second nature.

"Shine is what started my career . . .
. . . Before Shine, I didn’t have anything going for me. It really boosted me into the entertainment business."
Ricardo Hurtado, Actor & Singer, Star of Netflix's Malibu Rescue and Nick's School of Rock (front right)
"Shine was a really big turning point. It made me realize that I could pursue acting professionally . . .
. . . It was tangible, accessible and valid. There has never been a point in my life where I have wanted to do anything else but perform."
Mark Daugherty, Actor, Captain Marvel & Disney Descendants
"It never occurred to me that those opportunities I got through Shine weren’t afforded to everyone . . .
. . . I did not realize how fortunate I was until I moved to L.A. and friends who’d been in the city for years would look at me like I was crazy as I tried to determine who I would sign with at various agencies and management companies."
Austen Williams, Actress, Model, Motivational Speaker and Mrs. America
"I've always desired to be an entertainer and to change the atmosphere wherever I go . . .
. . . I was feeling like my age was something that was against me. Shine affirmed that it wasn’t!"
Damien Horne, Top 40 Country Artist Songwriter, TV Show Host and 2-Time TedEx Speaker
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I'm brand new. Is this for me?
The industry ALWAYS loves a new face! Especially if the new face confidently shows industry-savvy guidance (that you'll receive)... after you know the secrets of sought-after talent.
What will I actually learn inside SSAT?
You'll learn the "what" and the "why" of five common areas where aspiring and working performers usually falter or fall, specifically on these foundationally important areas–presenting, marketing, and developing your talent–that even experienced performers can be doing wrong.
Even slightly wrong focus or presentation in these areas can slow or halt progress.
How much time will watching all the SSAT videos take?
Just slightly over 1 hour! But don't rush it. Think about each one closely. Watch more than once, if you can.
What will I discuss with the Coach during my bonus 1-on-1 Talent Success call?
When you book a call (the link to book is in your confirmation email), you'll schedule a time.
Plan to have watched the 1 hour of SSAT content BEFORE the one-on-one Zoom meeting, but book the call now... because times fill up!
You can also include your headshots, resume, website, or other links on the booking form. Please be respectful of this offering and the Shine Mentor's time; show up ( 5 minutes early), and don't cancel last minute.
On the call, you'll share a bit of your story, including your performer level, your journey to get there, and your current struggles. The Shine Mentor will coach you a bit and offer some ideas about what you're missing or what might be helpful to focus on moving forward.
I'm a parent of a kid or teen actor. How will this help?
If your talented kid or teen is under 16, YOU are the person who needs to learn all of the "business of showbiz." Their job is to have fun doing what they love. SSAT will help you understand what the industry needs YOU to have in place for your talented child or teen to succeed. We'll offer advice on how to help them move forward safely, cost-effectively, and efficiently... by showing you how to plan and focus your time. If your kid is 17-22-ish, then it can be helpful for you BOTH to learn the content inside SSAT, so you can help them make wise decisions and investments.
What if I live in a country other than the US. Will SSAT help me?
Absolutely! The knowledge you gain here is timeless and universal. Why? Because branding (knowing how and where you fit into the industry), marketing, and presentation of your talent... are needed everywhere, whether you want to work locally or shine in blockbuster films. Shine students and grads come from all over the world.
I already have an agent. How will this help me?
The industry moves quickly. It's an insider club, and it doesn't give much room for mistakes in the way you're presenting yourself. You know both of these facts well... if you're already in it.
If you're wondering how to book MORE work, change agents, or level up, this is EXACTLY what SSAT explains. Find out what you're missing in your own materials, and feel confident again.

"I've spent my life studying the strange and wonderful business of entertainment: why some stars rise, while most stall out.
Here's the good news: Success isn't mysterious. It isn't luck. It's not even about talent. It's formulaic! And I'd love to share it with you."
Contracts, Earnings & Fame Disclaimer
In Shine by Carey Lewis, we’re not into unreasonable goals or false promises. Not in 1960 when we started. Not now. Not ever. Performers who prioritize chasing wealth, fame are not for us.
Instead, we believe smart work, excellent preparation, and perseverance are predictors of success. We believe in family involvement, an uplifting community, and connecting with agents of integrity.
We believe in careful success, which is why we invite only trusted industry professionals to interact with our Shine talent. We believe fame is not just a gift for stars, but a responsibility to fans.
With our services and courses, we NEVER promise callbacks, contracts, or employment, although countless Shine grads have achieved these results, each in their own time. Many are working performers: locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.
NOTE: Callbacks, contracts, and work depend on preparation, timing, and factors beyond our control. No one should ever guarantee you work or representation.
Nevertheless, we've seen thousands of performers turn hopeful dreams into the joyful reality of moving forward in their God-given purpose.
Shine presents education and networking opportunities to explore your potential in the entertainment industry: safely, effectively, and expediently.
