We train performers. We don't sell promises.
Program developed 1977 · National Performers Academy since 2017 · Live, Zoom-based training nationwide.
Our Approach
The training method behind National Performers Academy isn't new — Diana Horner developed it in 1977, and it's been refined for more than four decades under a few different names before we became National Performers Academy in 2017. What's stayed constant is the philosophy: performers don't need a plane ticket to LA to get real training and real access. They need consistent coaching, honest feedback, and a path that's earned, not bought.
Today we run three levels of live, Zoom-based classes for performers ages 6–35, from a first-timer's foundations class all the way to an invitation-only showcase in front of LA agents, managers, and casting directors. No level skips ahead of the last one. No student is promised representation. What every student gets is real coaching, real feedback, and an honest read on where they stand.
Intentional Programs
We built it this way on purpose. This industry has a well-earned reputation for showcases that charge students and families a lot of money for a room full of "industry professionals" who never call back. We'd rather be the program that tells you the truth about the odds than the one that oversells them.
