Face Forward Talent Includes Children, Preteens, Teens, Adults & Mature Adults.

Face Forward Actors & Models is Florida's leading boutique Performing Arts Academy and Networking center for actors, models and singers. Face Forward serves its clients by empowering them to unleash their full potential in the entertainment industry. Our foundation is developing poise and etiquette skills such as being confident, good posture, listening skills, interviewing skills and, of course, navigating the ever-changing social media world we live in. These life skills carry our talent into whatever career they choose to pursue. We believe there is no such thing as an unattractive person, only people who have not learned the skills to make the most of themselves.

Be yourself, be natural, be confident, be the best you can be. Because that is what life is all about.
