“The Atlanta Connection has opened a whole new life for me! I SIGNED with BMG Models and Talent then moved to Atlanta right after from NYC. I feel like I am exactly where I am meant to be. I am so grateful to Actors Connection for the chance to change my career path!”
“I have been auditioning for TV and film for a few years in New York. Had gotten pinned and callbacks but nothing. After Actors Connection’s Showcase in Atlanta, I SIGNED with a top agency and BOOKED my first network co-star!”
“I SIGNED with Carol Shaginaw Talent after meeting Carol at the Atlanta Connection showcase last Fall and staying in contact. I initially auditioned for Carol’s former agency and months later auditioned and subsequently signed with her new agency. I appreciate AC for facilitating this connection!”
