WHAT WILL YOU HAVE TO SAY?
"Dear Joe: I want to commend you on your well-run workshop with Actors. How refreshing to answer their questions and concerns and then to view their work with scenes that have been coached by you prior to their performance. This is why I truly enjoy an evening with your actors. I think it also helps them immensely when I am able to give them immediate written feedback that they are able to utilize in the future. Very well done Joe!"
- Dede Binder Goldsmith ~ TV/ FILM Agent/ President of Defining Artists Agency

"I have attended the Casting Director workshops at the Actors Interview and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone pursuing acting! It is the best opportunity to get your headshot out there and show them your talent! The Actors Interview is great because they are actor friendly and always have the real deal when it comes to their casting director line up! And the best part is their scheduling works very well for actors!"
- Kim Dollar ~ Actress/ AI Alumni
"The workshops are better than any that I have attended simply because of the level of professionalism running the workshop, and the fact that we actually get exposure to industry agents and casting directors that give us feedback on our work. The efficiency coupled with the prescreening process creates a workshop environment that is unlike any workshop I have attended. "
- Matt Freeman ~ Actor/ AI Alumni
"It introduces you to an atmosphere of serious industry people with their pursuit in getting their work done...and they are up-front in letting you know what they are looking for. Helps me to grasp what I need to do. Joe Lorenzo and team...has set-up meetings with current industry people with current productions...that gives you a sense that everyone is constantly working...on both ends...to get talented people and complete projects. Thanks..."
- June Mock ~ Actor/ AI Alumni
"I'm a pretty picky customer at this point, and I left your workshop feeling invigorated, informed and inspired (rather than intimidated, ignored and frustrated). I think the major difference is that you step up and lead the workshop. You tell us right up front who you are and what your credentials are, so there's already a sense of collaboration and trust. Also, I'm signing with Coast to Coast for theatrical representation!!!"
- Andrew Burlinson ~ Actor/ AI Alumni
"The Actors Interview has without a doubt lead to real acting opportunities for me. I have been called in for several auditions directly from the workshops. Joe knows everyone, and everyone loves Joe... He gets the best casting directors and legitimate agents. The great guests and the pre-screen process make for a high quality workshop."
- Patrick Orr ~ Actor/ AI Alumni
"I love being apart of the Actors Interview Workshop because of the exposure it gives me to the industry. The workshop is very professional. Scenes are carefully given out to each actor as we are paired up to showcase our talents before some of the best leading Casting Directors and Agents in Hollywood. My favorite part is getting feedback from the agents because it validates my progress and encourages me to work even harder. Joe Lorenzo and his staff are always supportive, professional, accessible and willing to work with each actor before each workshop performance. A scene never goes up ice cold, and I like that! Joe always gives direction to each actor to ensure that each performance shines. As an actress still looking for representation, I like the Q&A section also- because I'm encouraged to ask questions and keep in touch with various Casting Directors and Agents -- informing them by postcard or email of my latest career endeavors. I'm impressed that The Actors Interview Workshop auditions and recruits a pretty talented group of actors ensuring that every scene is exciting. In short, I prefer this workshop over the others because it has personally given me a boost in confidence as an actor and has enhance my networking skills in the process. "

"Thanks, It was totally informative and really, really worthwhile. I've been to a lot of CD workshops lately and this was BY FAR the best one I've been to yet. Thanks so much for inviting me. I got a great deal out of it, Thank You, again, Sincerely, Veronica Alicino"
- Veronica Alicino ~ Actress/ AI Alumni
"I signed with KSR thanks to AI's workshop! I ♥ Actor's Interview. P.S. that was my very first workshop!"
- Andrea Ellsworth ~ Actress/ AI Alumni
"I think you run a tight ship and I had a great time. I think its wonderful that these actors just starting out have some kind of champion in their corner who knows what he's talking about. I have signed many, many kids out of conservatory programs over the years- especially at BRS cuz of all the theatre business they do- and its horrifying to me that Carnegie, Tisch, Yale, etc offer no "business training." I really do care about actors and think that it is a very isolating lifestyle especially for those just staring out who don't have a sounding board. They have no training, there are millions of people out there who want their hard-earned money, and nobody tells them the truth. ugh. You are a class act."
- Colleen Schlegel ~ TALENT MANAGER with Valeo Entertainment
"Actor's Interview is one of the best things that has happened to my career! I signed with a manager who met me at a workshop within my first month. I'm getting to perform in front of the casting directors/associates that I need to connect with to develop my career. Also, Joe really is one of a kind! He's extremely supportive of actors and their success! The workshops are run professionally and efficiently with a friendly environment. And, the actors I've met at my workshops have all been driven, working individuals and we all support each other. When family and friends ask me "How's the acting thing going?" My updates are great and keep getting better! I know one key reason why has been Actor's Interview. "
- Kristy Webb ~ Actress/ AI Alumni
"I thoroughly enjoy my experience at The Actors Interview. You bring in top notch casting people and the sessions are very well run. What a wonderful turn of events to have been called in and subsequently book off of my first workshop with you!"
- Molly Kasch ~ Actress/ AI Alumni
"Thanks for your workshops - they are truly the best in LA I've come to find!"
- Jenna Johnson ~ Actress/ AI Alumni
"I signed with my ideal agents after just one workshop at The Actors Interview! What sets The Actor's Interview apart from other workshops in town is Joe's commitment to quality, both in his actors and his guests. Joe's pre-screening process ensures that every actor be paired with a strong scene partner with whom to rehearse and perform. As a result, you have every opportunity to do your best work, and guests get the assurance that they are coming to see quality actors. The Actors Interview guests are always engaged in the class: making adjustments, offering their contact information, and doing Q/A's with the actors. This really is the resource for actors looking to develop relationships with Los Angeles' best agents and casting offices! Thank you Joe!!"
