So What Is Showdown?

Showdown is life changing.  Our students get hands-on experience learning what it's like to be an Industry Pro.  Through our pr​ofessional level classes, exciting extra-curricular activities and unique philosophy, students gain the tools they need to succeed.  Plus they have lots of fun!

 

Audition for an Agent

Students learn how they would be cast.  Are they the girl next door? Or the loveable geek?  In this incredible opportunity, students strut their stuff for acclaimed talent agents at the polygon group, and then they get personal feedback on their audition.

 

Read for a Casting Director

Students bring out their best when they audition for an A-List Casting Director. Following an intensive workshop where students learn first-hand what casting wants, they audition for the CD. (Many of our students have booked work.)



​Private Coaching
Students learn current film and TV trends from A-List acting Coach Tracy Martin @ Koaching Kids. Tracy's kids work. Teens learn first-hand what it takes to book that commercial, movie, or TV show.

 

Students learn to put their best voice forward with Mark Salyer.  Mark works around the country teaching voice and dialects.
