SHINE has Scouted, Developed, and Placed Actors, Singers, Models, and Dancers for Over 45 Years.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE 3 CONCERNS?

#1

"Am I good enough?"

People who aren't good enough NEVER ask this question. (They lack self-awareness and a must-have desire to continue to grow)

Will Smith said, "I've always considered myself just average in talent..."

It's not how MUCH talent you have. It's WHAT you do with it! HOW you market it! That's what matters!

#2

"Where do I start?"

Do you feel hopeless or stuck, like your dreams are never going to happen or you don't know where to look for answers?

You're not alone; every successful performer asked this question. There are a ton of dead ends, but you don't have to take the "hard knocks" path.

Find a WISE MENTOR with a PROVEN track record. TAKE A STEP.

#3

"How can I get seen?"

“If I could just get IN FRONT of the RIGHT person…”

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!

Do You Know This Hard Industry Truth?

Most Agents, Managers, Casting Directors, and Performers know your climb up the entertainment ladder will be hard. And they're okay with that.  Why?

  • They learned THE HARD WAY and DON'T HAVE TIME to teach you what they think you should be able to figure out for yourself. Further, even if they do give you a chance, and you give up, there are plenty of other actors who would love to take your spot! The reps don't lose much. But YOU DO!
  • It's MORE COMPETITIVE than ever before. VIRTUAL CASTING and ZOOM CALLBACKS have changed everything. But there's a SILVER LINING: it’s also MORE OPEN to NEW TALENT from EVERYWHERE! You just need to know what VIPs are looking for, and what they are NOT.
  • There are FEW seemingly overnight, FAIRY TALE SUCCESS STORIES, but this only happens to those who are PREPARED and who HAVE NOT GIVEN UP.

Sought-After Talent know these truths.

They also know how to WOW Agents!

Top 3 Ways Our Actors Are More Signable and Bookable!
And Why Others Aren’t!

#1

Our Actors have A+ Correctly Branded Headshots

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.

FACT: Defining your character types helps agents find you the best fit rolls.

#2

Our Actors Nail Every Self-Submission

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

HARD FACT: If your technicals aren't right, your talent doesn't matter AT ALL.

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

FUN FACT: Headshots don't have to cost much.

#3

Our Actors Ace VIP Submissions And Interviews

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.

Here's What Our Shine Grads Say

"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

We've Got A's For Your Q's

Top Q's Students Asked Before Registering

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 falter or fall. Secrets of Sought-After Talent focuses on foundational areas of presenting, marketing, and developing your talent– that even experienced performers can be doing very wrong or slightly wrong, Either way, their progress is slowed (or stopped).

How much time will watching the all 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 Shine Mentor in 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 (early), and don't cancel last minute. On the call, you'll tell a bit of your story, your performer level, your journey getting 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 and offer advice on how to help them move forward safely, cost-effectively and efficiently... by showing you how to plan and focus your time.
