Male Model in Tampa

Are you a Performing arts academy?

Yes, and we are extremely proud of our record. We have trained two acting and modeling professionals who carry world titles in their chosen field.

Here at Face Forward we recognize even the biggest stars in Hollywood continue their craft by training on their downtime.

We introduce our talent to the industry in a way they can easily understand. We work with children, preteens, teens, adults and mature adults of all ages. It all about determination. We are here to help!

Does training make a difference?

Training makes the largest impact on success. The entertainment industry is fast paced and constantly changing. Agents and casting directors need new faces now! Agents are very busy professionals who search for well-prepared talent. Agents know that Face Forward’s talent is polished, experienced and confident with their performing skills. This is why Agents love to come to Face Forward’s office.

Will this interfere with school or work?

No, at Face Forward Actors & Models school and work come first. We believe a solid academic and work foundation should be a person’s first priority.

Does Face Forward accept everyone?

No. We are looking for talent with a high level of desire and interest when being considered for the entertainment industry. All talent must meet certain requirements in their chosen field. When introduced to our agents directly, our talent needs to stand out, be confident and ready to work. This is a true reflection of our training. An agent’s time is valuable, agents only audition talent at development centers they trust.

I heard if you want to be a model or actor, agencies will pay everything for you to start. Is this true?

In any career, training and marketing are an up-front investment of time and money for the performer. Agents do not pay for your training or photography. The most successful models and actors will tell you training never ends. There are some discoveries, but like diamonds in the rough, even diamonds are sent off and polished to be the brightest of gems. All successful talents have to work for their goals.

What are the costs?

Every talent who is accepted at Face Forward will have different goals. We tailor our services to meet those goals. All talent at Face Forward’s office is treated equally, we are $58 a week, total of $232 monthly with a one time $100 registration fee.
