Testimonials:

“Mr. Paul my money was well spent. My daughter learned more from you during your one day “Commercial Audition Techniques Class” than she had during the 20 week program that she previously attended that cost me $5500.00 Thank you for your honesty and genuine approach for helping aspiring artists achieve their goals.”

“Coming from an extensive background in Broadcasting, you would have thought I knew everything about the camera. Boy was I wrong. Auditioning is a new thing for me, and had I not taken your workshop, I would have BOMBED that first audition. As it turns out, I feel great about it. I knew exactly what to expect, and felt very calm and collected…. not at all nervous! I walked out of there knowing I did my best. I can’t believe what a difference having your class made!! Thanks Vince!”

“My son and I attended Vince’s Commercial Audition Training course. This course gave me the opportunity to understand the business, what is expected of myself and my son, and what is expected of Talent Link. Vince was very honest about my son’s needs and I was able to see my son’s strengths and weaknesses which made me aware of the need to develop his acting skills. I was very pleased with the outcome of the Commercial Audition training course.”

I recently heard Vince Paul of Talent Link on the Matt & Ramona talk radio show. He talked about the talent industry and that there is a need for all types, in commercials, TV, radio, as extras, etc. He also explained that you don’t have to spend exorbitant amounts of money to get into the business. Being older and a bit overweight, I was skeptical, but curious about my ability to get work in this field. Within a week after emailing Vince some digital photos, I was offered a spot as an extra in an upcoming training video for a bank. I had never done this before and was quite surprised at how quickly I was offered such an opportunity. The shoot was so much fun and such an interesting experience. Vince Paul was also there. I was so impressed with how attentive and encouraging he was to everyone on the shoot. He was very genuine and a pleasure to work with. I am looking forward to taking his classes on basic auditioning techniques, to learn more about this industry and the opportunities available.

I thank God that there is actually someone out there willing to share their experience in the acting/modeling industry. So many times we get wrapped in our own affairs and forget to give back. I really enjoyed the seminar I attended with Vince Paul. I’ve never met a more genuine individual, who is straight to the point about what you need to do in order to succeed. The book he has produced is phenomenal it tells you about the industry from beginning to end. It is the Model/Actors Bible. If you are serious about your craft you need to attend his seminar and READ Vince’s, Book “The Talent Guide”. (Remember no journey is to far if your serious, I drove from Atlanta to Charlotte, NC. and would do it again).

“Having had the opportunity to be taught by a professional Casting Director, I grew tremendously. I became more comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera by learning the correct techniques that Casting Directors are looking for. I recommend this class to any actor who is serious about their career.”
