Our talent training is tailored specifically for the roles
being played. We do not believe in the inefficient use of time or excessive costs of "BOOT CAMP" training.
The actors are just that - actors. We break out the skills identified in the script and specifically train each
cast member in those skills required to portray their character while remaining available to continue coaching through rehearsals
and on camera performance.

We have continually supported directors of the highest quality;
Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Michael Bay, Jon Turteltaub, Ron Howard, Peter Berg, Antoine Fuqua, and others. They all are responsible
for making artistic decisions but are often hampered by lack of real life experience or knowledge of subject matter covered
within a specific project. Our years of expertise assure an accurate portrayal within our disciplines by
offering the following: Review scenes with the director assuring authenticity of actors’ technique, weapons
handling and appropriate dialogue. Relay notes from the director
to talent specific to technical portrayal of action. Assist
director with on-set dialogue corrections or adjustments. Assist the Director with action blocking. Provide on set coaching for talent.
We are often requested to assist in post production with Reshoots and ADR. Screening
of edited cuts. Providing
voice actors, Create
dialogue for voice over Actor coaching of radio chatter, military, law enforcement, and other technical dialogue on air, sea,
or land operations.
