After experiencing Career ACTivate on some level, whether it’s through our intensives, our elite coaching sessions, or our home study courses, we have found that students have continued to come back to us looking for more information, follow-up, and strategies in excelling their careers to a higher level.
Our year-long coaching programs help you implement the knowledge you have while also gaining access to an overwhelming number of resources! You will have elite coaches by your side helping you apply what you are learning. Furthermore, you will have an influential community of actors to support and challenge you.
Information = What to do
Training = Knowledge of “how to do it”
Coaching = Giving you the wisdom of what to do in the moment
“If there is something you want and don’t have, it just means there is something you don’t know.” – Jona Xiao, CEO of Career ACTivate
There is a huge difference between having information and being mentored, guided, or coached along the way.
Just as professional baseball players train with elite coaches to fine-tune their skills to achieve maximum performance, it takes professional coaching in not only the craft of acting, but excelling in the “business” of “show business.” Acting coaches help you take your acting to the next level! We believe that part of the reason why our coaching program is so successful is because we build relationships. Our acting coaches are also familiar with life coaching due to the brutal nature of the acting business.
As you may have seen in pursuing your acting career, many actors have a lot of knowledge, but it’s those who take ACTION on what they are learning that end up making leaps and bounds toward their career.
We created elite coaching programs so that you can experience FAST Results for your career, taking YOU from where you are and leap-frogging you to where you want to be! We are 100% confidence that our training will help you achieve success on the national level! We will do everything we can to help you become one of the elite stars in entertainment!
“Who, exactly, seeks out a coach? – Winners who want even more out of life.” -Chicago Tribune

“Thank you so much for bringing so many, talented, successful and open people together. You changed my life and focused my mind. I loved the quality of speakers you invited…great inspiration for any actor who is serious about being successful and allowing anything they want.” -Eugenia Kuzmina, FURY, NEW GIRL, TRUE BLOOD
“I love the mastermind experience. To me, it was renewing, rejuvenating, and I felt like being with a group of fellow actors really helped me realize that some of the obstacles and blocks that I’ve come up against, even as a working actor, I’m not alone. It was nice to be supported by my peers and to get to be in the presence of an Oscar– winning guest was inspiring and affirming, and I’m incredibly grateful…There’s always room to grow. I’ve found that being around all these people, some of whom have way more credits than I do, have strengths that I don’t. They have wisdom that I don’t.
–Ryan Carnes (60+ episodes of GENERAL HOSPITAL, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES).
NINJA RESOURCES AND STRATEGIES
-Access to hard-to-get industry info: We can’t have all of their students using certain extremely ninja tactics (ones we don’t share while teaching), but are shared with our coaching clients.
“Before I joined the Career ACTivate Elite Coaching program, I hadn’t had an audition, a union theatrical audition, in probably over a year. Now that I’ve learned ninja strategies, [in just a month of being in the program] I’ve auditioned for network series regular roles for pilots and huge hit network shows and I just really feel in control of my career. It’s really, really exciting and it’s very powerful for me. My reps are like, ‘Oh, you got another audition! Have you heard of this show?’ You know, and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I know. I got myself that audition. Can you pass the information on to me?’ They’re happy. They’re excited. They love actors that take their careers into their own hands.” –Tanjareen Thomas, 50+ TV Shows/Films

Why Join the Elite Program?
Are you saying to yourself: “I’ve done so many courses and worked with other programs and coaches in the past… I’m fine on my own.”
Statistically, approximately only 1% of people take proper action towards their goals after learning information. A coach will help guide you toward making smart decisions and implementing what you are learning on an on-going basis in the program to see FASTER results.
Watch this testimonial from our client, Mia Sable, who was in LA for ten years before joining the coaching program, and in an accelerated amount of time, Mia signed to TalentWorks and WME and is now booking consistent work.
How much will this cost me?
Ever hear the phrase, “It takes money to make money?” You need to start thinking of your career as an investment… so start asking yourself, “How much will this MAKE me in the future?” Many clients who come to work with us tell us they wish they would have discovered this program long before they joined and that it would have saved them a lot of time and money. We have different packages, investment options, and payment plans to work within different budgets and needs.
So many bookings!
After just a year in this program. I can literally track each industry success I’ve had (booking an LA manager, booking an Atlanta agent, booking two CBS co-stars, my 1st guest star which is a Fox show, & a supporting role in a feature) back to either the training, resources, or relationships I’ve accessed through Career ACTivate. I can honestly say. I wouldn’t be as far ahead as I am without this program period. -Yvonne Senat Jones
Booked a series regular in a major TV series
“It’s been the best investment I’ve made in my career, even better than drama school…I just booked a new series as series regular (each episode has a $6 million budget) that I’ll be attached to for four seasons given the show goes on for that along. My career is about to explode…Do you really want to look back when you are 80 or 90 years old and think to yourself, “Why didn’t I do that when I had the opportunity?” Because life’s short, you only get one life…Live your dreams and go for it! You are the only one holding yourself back.” –Edward Coupland (only had 1 TV credit before joining the Elite Program)
“I am too new to L.A… I will try it on my own first.”
“I was very new to acting and within just a couple of months of being in the program, I booked 3 TV shows (the first was a direct booking). I continue to learn smart new strategies after every coaching session that empower me to take my career to the next level. Now, after only being in the program a few months, I am now actively pursuing Guest Star credits!!! Career ACTivate is the best support group and the best investment you’ll make in your acting career!” -Melody Peng (update: she booked her first 7 TV shows during her Elite Program year)
“I’ve been in the industry for awhile…how much more could I learn?”

“I signed with my dream agent a couple weeks ago…and my recurring role on Modern Family aired, and I’m really excited about that. I’ve only been doing this [acting] about a year.” –Arden Belle, Recurring Modern Family, Blackish
“Before working with Career ACTivate, I was so lost. I was traveling to do extra work for free. After being in the program for only 2 months, I’ve been auditioning 5 times/week for paid work, I booked a guest star on TV, and after that, I got an agent and manager!” -Fred Fleury, Netflix’s Gringolandia
“Please seek the program if you are an actor that is looking for clarity in this business, unstoppable support from a fellow group of actors, and the best techniques on unlocking the potential you have within.” –Cesar Obregon
“My career is YEA
RS ahead of where it would be because of Career ACTivate! If you are serious about making a long lasting career as an actor, Career ACTivate is more than worth it!
First of all, I’d like to say that I have worked in commercial casting & have worked for theatrical producers in NYC. I am not some “young” uninformed actor, and I have still learned SO MUCH about the business and how to get ahead. Within three months of working with my coach, I signed with a great commercial agent, and within 3 more months I was offered representation by three different management companies and got to choose who I wanted to sign with! I also know my brand, have an awesome website, have great commercial & theatrical headshots, a strong reel that I’m proud of, have created real relationships with TOP casting directors and producers, and have an amazing group of supportive actor friends. The year long program teaches you everything you need to know! They teach how to network (and you lose the icky feeling that word usually brings up), how to pitch yourself for roles, how to get an agent/manager, how to up-level if you already have reps, how to build your relationship w/ your current reps & casting offices….They also teach you TONS of insider tips/tactics and also ways to use technology to support you – info that my non-acting corporate world friends have been blown away by! The information I’ve received and the relationships I’ve cultivated is truly priceless to me.” –– Jenna Doolittle, SCANDAL
