My experience with Face Forward has been outstanding. I have found several students that have gone on and worked professionally in both modeling and acting jobs through my agency. Thank you so much for always having the best talent out there. Keep it up.
Peter Condopoulos
PCG Talent SAG/AFTRA Talent Agency
Through Face Forward’s preparation, our daughter was able to showcase her talent in front of agents and secure the agent she now works with, Jones Collective. Our daughter has since received steady auditions and several exciting bookings—including a Wonderful Halos commercial and a national Target Back-to-School commercial. We are profoundly grateful for the life-changing doors Face Forward has opened for her!
Ja’Kim Spencer

I have worked with Face Forward's management for many years. I always find the talent's level of professionalism and preparedness top notch. Attending classes at the school is a great way to educate oneself on what movie and television directors truly look for when scouting for talent.
Tom Logan
TV/Film Director and Author
Signing with Face Forward is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Since signing I have gotten to meet and sign with several agents, and through these agencies I have worked with big names like Marriott and Amtrak. Signing with Face Forward has really jump started my career.

This isn’t just an audition. It’s a first step toward something bigger. We’re looking for individuals who are willing to show up, put in the work, and take their dreams seriously.
So the question is, are you ready to prove YOU have what it takes?
