“Thank you for everything. You guys have been great. I really feel supported by the whole organization.” - Donald Hinson, National for AQUAFINA

"When I first came to Weist-Barron I was nervous and uneasy. I knew nothing about the entertainment industry. The only thing I knew was that I wanted to be an actor. Weist-Barron gave me the knowledge, the direction and the skill to face the industry with confidence. Only great acting instructors, supportive friends and a productive showcase can give that. I found all that at Weist-Barron, a home away from home. I’ve been working on All my Children and I have my first SAG dayplayer on the Denzel Washington film American Gangster." - Neville White

“Weist-Barron offered me excellent Commercial Training superior to any other school I’d seen. The atmosphere is friendly and supportive. WB is a perfect mix of training, exposure and opportunities.” - Jay Potter

“I’ve been taking classes off and on at Weist-Barron since I stated acting. To me and to a lot of actors, you just can’t beat the atmosphere. The staff is helpful and supportive. There’s always some interesting new coarse or instructor and you can’t beat their showcase programs. They have realistic prices, great guests, and the actors who participate are all first rate. The commercial I just booked I was submitted for through an agent I met at WB. I always feel like I’m doing something great for my career when I’m in the 6th floor at Weist-Barron.” - Tod Engle

“What a great place to have your first on-camera experience. No membership fees r hidden costs. Just experienced professional instructors and a helpful staff. I had a wonderful time and got a lot of audition confidence." - Camille Guaty, THE NINE

“A good start thanks to WB! I took the Basic TV classes this summer and got my headshots out. One agent sent me on my first audition and thanks to WB training I booked my first commercial. After the Advanced class and 3 more auditions I booked my second commercial. Thanks to WB training for getting me started the right way.” - Paul Guillfoyle

“In show business we often say you make your own breaks. It’s true a lot of the time. But it’s hard to make those breaks happen if you don’t have the training and confidence to succeed. When I started at Weist-Barron I had plenty of drive and ambition, but knew little about the skills I would need to nail an audition, or the business savvy to even get that audition. WB provided e with a supportive atmosphere, terrific instructors, the right information and plenty of opportunities to connect with agents and casting directors. It’s a tough business. Give yourself a break.” - William Duffy, THE WEST WING

"I took a voiceover class with Batt Johnson last summer. Just wanted to let you know that I recently booked my first national TV spot for ADVAIR the asthma medicine - I am featured as the father/trumpet player! At the audition the tips that Batt gave me I used them and they definitely helped!

Thanks Weist Barron and of course Batt Johnson!" - Everton Bailey "Trumpeter"

"I first started taking classes at WB back in '86' and have never regretted it. I met all kinds of great, funny, sincere, dedicated people there and of course the staff have always been so educated, friendly and giving, and the agents I met there have made my day and a few checks as well.

My wife use to say to me during those salad days, "it seems every time you take a class or do the support group you get a job", and it is/was true.

I remember meeting Doug Kesten, the agent, at a support group on Monday, he called me on Tuesday with an audition for that Wednesday and I booked the job on Friday and we shot it on the next Monday. All in a week. It was a Maxwell Coffee spot and I made some nice change.

A few years later I met Carrie Morgan there and she signed me within weeks with CED, now CESD, and I have been with them now for 13 years. But what is really special and meaningful to me is that I have an Screen Actors Guild Pension coming to me someday, we hope not for a while, but it is there and I am vested and it makes all the struggles worthwhile.

And I am so proud of that fact and it would never, ever have happen if it wasn't for Weist-Barron. I consider I have had some success in this wacky, up and down business and a great deal of it is due to WB.

Thank you from one happy actor." - Peter Sullivan

"Weist-Barron is the first place I went when I decided to go back to acting five years ago. Over the past five years, I have taken on-camera commercial and TV and film and scene study classes with all the wonderful and inspiring teachers at Weist-Barron. I feel as though the school is part of my extended family, due to the warmth and encouragement of everyone there, especially Valerie Adami, who has always been nurturing. Congratulations to everyone at Weist-Barron on your anniversary and may you all have many more years of creating a supportive environment for actors." - Eileen Lacy

“I’d like to thank Weist-Barron’s amazing teaching staff. Since I first stated taking classes I have worked on 2 commercials and have performed live with the singer Don Ho on Fox5. I am currently working on an industrial and dancing for a Polynesian entertainment company. Thank you so much.” - Abigail Pantaleon

“Many Thanks for suggesting I attend the Commercial Print Seminar. It led to a call from one of the agents. The result: I got a booking for a pharmaceutical company and received a very nice fee for a beginner. Only in my dreams would I get a call from an agent I just met and a booking on the first try! Fondly, …” - Angela D’Antuono

"Wanted to give you the good news. I just booked a commercial for Union Memorial Hospital! The shoot was great and the agency people were very pleased with my work. A big Thank You to Batt Johnson and Jerry Coyle (my Advanced Commercial instructors) for the wonderful guidance and instruction I’ve received at Weist-Barron. I took everything I learned in class and applied it at the audition and on the shoot. I’m so happy to be at WB, I’m telling everyone." - Ward Nixon

“I just wanted to thank you for everything you and the teachers have done for me. I was part of the Commercial Showcase in November. One of the agents I met has been sending me out on a lot of auditions, and I just did a commercial for Ritz Cameras. You all are great, and Weist-Barron really makes the dream become a reality. I look forward to taking more classes in the future.” - Lori D’Elia
