Testimonials
“When I went to an audition at Discovery Channel, I was so confident and used to cameras and crew that I felt right at home.Joey Diaz, Actor
“I used to do audition after audition, but few callbacks. Audition training with Valentino made me aware of how my attitude wasn’t working. Now auditions are a breeze and I am getting callbacks and landing roles!
Margaret Stevens, Actress
“I actually got into acting to loosen up in my business world, especially at those times when I have to speak before a group. Now I have the techniques to relax in these stressful situations, and I actually enjoy the attention instead of dreading the moment.
Michael Taggart, Actor
