Dear Stephanie (or should I say GOO?),

I just wanted to thank you SOO MUCH for this program!!! I remember when I first saw you at the "Breaking Into Hollywood" Open House, "I thought;"Either she's brilliant or she's crazy."  Well, I am happy to say you're brilliant!  This program showed me the skills to transfer from a musical theatre kid to TV and commercials AND soaps!!  This program is brilliant and I got a call back!  The casting director remembered me from your showcase!  I almost fainted when my mom told me.  Both my mother and I agreed that this program was a great decision and an amazing way to get started.  Okay, this is long but I felt you deserved it!  Give my love to Brooke, Sheryl and everyone else at the Studios!

Sincerely,

Mary McCartney, a very happy graduate

Hey Stephanie,

I just wanted to thank you for your words of wisdom and encouragment this weekend.  You really set the bar for all of us!  I'm so glad Brittany Underwood (star of ABC-TV "Oe Life to Live) recommended going through the program.  I owe her big time!!!! It was very helpful and motivating and by far one of the best.  I will keep you updated and hopefully looking forward to see you again someday.

Yours,  Daniel E. Bonnet , graduate

It's been a while since we've updated you on what's been going on with Jeremy since he finsished the Graduate Program, so we thought we would fill you in.  Jeremy is now represented by Mollo Mgmt.  He had (2) callbacks for a movie with Meryl Streep,  (2) callbacks for Brighton Beach Memoirs on Broadway, as well as a callback for an episode of Law and Order.  He appeared on an episode of One Life To Live and has gon on numerous commercial auditions such as Sprint, Converse, Stouffers , Comcast and Office Depot ,just to name a few.  None of this would have been possible without the foundation he received at your studios.

Jeremy has also continued his education.  Afterall, a very wise woman told us how important it is to continue to learn.  Thank you for the opportunity you have given Jeremy.

Jeremy Kaye's Mom

Hi Stephanie

It's been a while since I have written you but I have been so busy! I had a guest role on the Food Network show Food Detectives. I had three lines, but it's a start! I was so scared to see myself on TV. I was also on the new MTV show, The College Humor Show. That aired two weeks ago. I also had three call backs for the Off-Broadway play Spoon River Anthology. Thanks for the great start in the business.

Soooo much has happened in the last few months, I'm sorry I didn't write sooner! Firstly, my manager sent me on two commercial auditions. One for Idaho potatoes and one for Comcast. They were both AMAZING experiences and I learned a lot!

I honestly can't thank you enough for everything you have done for me. Words don't begin to describe it. I miss everyone so much from the program and getting the experience to wok with all you guys was just so overwhelming. Thank you...times a billion!

Wishing you the best,

Thank you for this opportunity and you will see me in the advanced program.

Dear GOO aka Goddess of Opportunity,

Hi, this is Julianna Peacock. I recently attended one of your showcases for the graduates. I had such a fun time and a great experience. I will be attending the next showcase in February!

The reason I emailed you is because I received a call from Shirley Grant Management. I;m not getting my hopes up but it's great that they called me and want to bring me in. Thank you so much for this, I surely wouldn't have gotten this amazing start to me education and my career without you!

Sincerely

Peacock

Dear Stephanie,

Hello, this is Rob DiVincenzo (the identical twin acrobat from the class). Both yours and Brooke's advice, encouragement, guidance and knowledge in the entertainment field has proved so beneficial to my career. It has driven me to succeed in this business.

I'm also emailing you to keep you posted on my stay here in Los Angeles. The first week I moved here I got a full-time paid internship with The Disney Channel. I'm working as a Casting Assistant for the VP and Director of Disney Channel Casting and Talent Relations. I've already met Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Ashley Tisdale, Vanessa Hudgens and other Disney stars, as I work indirectly with their publicists, agents and managers. Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers are just too busy for me to see on set, HAHA.

Just thought you might be proud of this accomplishment! It's a good experience to be on the other side of the camera to see what goes on behind-the-scenes. Not sure how long I will stay at the network, because I am a performer at heart!

Hope all is well with you. Thanks for your time.

Rob

Hello,

This is Olu saying hi and giving you some updates on my career. After the first showcase last month, I got a call back from Sinclair Management and had a meeting with Judith Lesley, who was wonderful! She told me that she wants to sign me but I need to work on my accent. She said when I am ready I should come back and be on board. This development is so exciting and it only encourages me to keep on working hard, studying and improving in every aspect. I am currently working on my accent and i know in a matter of time things will shape up rightly. Thanks a lot Stephanie and I'll be keeping you posted. Lots of love and have a wonderful day!

Hi Stephanie,

It's Barbara. I'm writing to inform you and keep you updated about my acting career. I recently went on a print go see for Sexy-Jean. Bonnie Shumofsky from Abrams Artists sent me. I tried on the jeans and they fit perfectly so I am going back for the commercial shoot. I'm SO EXCITED!! Everything is going great for me. And I'm very appreciative for your program,  Breaking Into Hollywood. It had brought me this far in my acting success. I just hope and pray that things continue to go better and better.

Thank you,

Barbara

Hey Stephanie,

Sorry I haven't been in touch, I've been very busy! Just wanted to update you. I worked on One Life to Live the other day and was upgraded to U5. Have also done four independent films in the past four months. Also, I did extra work on As the World Turns this week and got a call for Law & Order: SVU. That's it for now. I am SAG eligible, but haven't joined yet. Hope all is well with you.

Every time I receive your email, I breathe out.

We will continue to appreciate the privilege of auditions that come her way AND absorb the experiences along the way. Also, Danielle has an audition with Little Diva Productions for a music video.

Keep you posted!

Dear Stephanie,

It's Christina! I just wanted to let you know that I did extra work in an independent film called "Tan" and auditioned for a Downy commercial yesterday with Susan Shopmaker Casting. I met her at one of the showcases and she remembered me ! Thank you so much for everything.

Stephanie,

Jordan is very excited about the opportunities ahead. He has learned and grown so much in this experience. He assures me that he will thank me first, then you, when he receives each of his Oscars. He's not kidding! Thank you for being an important part of his journey.

Best,

Stephanie,

This is it!!!!!!!  I am now the Co-Host/Co-Star of the new TV series "15 minutes". I auditioned, they loved it, and I signed the contract. We start filming in February, and tour around the US, all expensed paid by the company. I didn't give up, and I did it. I am so happy and so grateful! You helped me so much.  Your whole  team has a big contribution to my success.

Thank you guys so much! See you soon, Hopefully.

Best Wishes,
Seren

Hi Stephanie,

The very first day you met Jeremy at the "Breaking Into Hollywood" seminar, you said to me "I can't make you any promises, but I would bet that he can be signed with someone within a year". Well, Ms. Goddess of Opportunity, your prediction was correct.

Jeremy got a phone call last week from Randi from Mollo Management who saw him at the graduate showcase. She asked is she could represent him. To say that we are beyond thrilled is an understatement. Jeremy has also done a movie trailer, two short student films and auditioned for roles in both a feature film and webisode.

None of which would have been possible without the foundation he got from attending your classes. Again, we just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you.

Best Regards,
Marci, Andy and Jeremy Kaye

Dear Stephanie,

You are not only a "Goddess of Opportunity" but "A Woman of Her Word" for sure.

I would like to thank you, again, for all that you have done personally for my daughter, as well as your company. You staff was amazing. Always encouraging the students and answering questions in a professional and personal experience way.

Danielle has achieved so much in such a shor t time because of you "no nonsense" attitude and the assortment of professional training from amazing casting directors, talent agents and managers that your brought to teach the classes and attend the showcases.

Danielle just finished filming the trailer for the new movie "Hush Puppies". It can be seen on YouTube. This trailer will be shown to Disney and Nick.

I am sure now that the "investment" I made in your program was the equivalent of Danielle attending Harvard or Yale for a college education. We will see you soon at one of your "SHOWCASES". So, until then, thank you again, Ms. Goddess of Opportunity"

Best,
Anette Angelini (mother of Danielle)

Dear Ms. Goddess Of Opportunity,

Alright!   I'm going to LA this summer!  I am going to meet with Donald Grey (commercial casting director) and Sheila Manning , the casting agent OF THE YEAR! I'm so excited.

I can't thank you enough for all you have done for me. Because of your program, my goals seems possible to reach. It's going to be hard work, but it won't be impossible! I didn't have a clue about how the industry works until I met you guys! You work so hard to get kids to discover their dream!

Sincerely,
Julianana LaBarbiera

Dear Stephanie,

I personally wanted to take the time to thank the "Goddess of Opportunity". Thank you Stephanie and the entire team! Since we last spoke, I signed contract with Shirley Grant Management!

Hey Stephanie!

This is Lesly Duarte. I'm currently in your showcases. I am enjoying every minute of it. I just wanted to let you know all of my success since starting your program. I got a manager form Shirlely Grant Management. I am so delighted with my manager.

I get sent out to a lot of auditions. I got a manager at one of your showcases! Isn't that great! And to make it even greater, I've booked 2 jobs in less than one month! One was a commercial for Mastercard and the other was an educational film. It was really cool. I actually got to be on a real set. It was an amazing feeling. I definitely want to do that again and again many times.

Best Wishes,
Lesly Duarte

Thanks,
Seren Erol
