I have known Samuel Warren for some time. I started as a student then as a volunteer at his castings and lastly as talent and a friend. Sam is extremely trustworthy, honest and real. He goes over and beyond to make sure you learn and give your best. Sam's background in the industry is second to none. I would recommend Sam Warren to anyone in the industry.

Start here if you’re serious about the entertainment business. Sam will drive you to success. Everything he taught me in his class is from almost 40 years of industry experience on the casting side and on par with anything being taught in LA.

I booked my first three professional auditions using his method. I still review his guideposts before auditions and to break down scripts. Since he tapes our sessions, I get a chance to review how I look. Tapes don’t lie, and I changed my whole approach to on camera auditions. (Watch that eye movement).

Also, for the price, you are getting an insane deal. For something approaching the level of coaching Sam gives you, you’d be paying about $100 / class. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions; he’s that good.

Edit: Just read some of the one star reviews; it seems like a love him or hate him relationship. Make no mistake: this is drama ;). It’s easy to mistake Sam’s genuine passion for ego. He’s a good man and cares. There are other coaches in San Diego and LA with less passion that will coach anyone just the same; they just won’t call you mid-week to see how you’re coming along with the material. That may not be for everyone, but if that’s the kind of relationship you want with a coach, then Sam’s your guy. Good hunting.

Sam Warren is one of the best acting coaching casting directors in the industry. If you are a new or experienced upcoming actor He is your Coach !! I learned how to break down characters, how to embrace the Meisner techniques in auditioning and self-taping. Plus he trains you in every audition media platform that you are pursuing and gives you personal feedback too. Lifting your confidence up to compete and to book in the industry is what he specializes on. He is ethical, generous and authentic in his training with you and does not take advantage of you and your time. Being someone myself with a Spanish-speaking immigrant English accent, he has developed in me the confidence to audition up in both languages. Because he himself casts and has casted a lot experience talent from the Westcoast, Eascoast and Europe. This is why he can bring that experience to his students in every lesson. And he is a team player with his students. I have experienced seeing auditioning tapes from previous Casting projects from Mr. Warren and learned hands-on-experience what works and does not work for auditioning. We have seen videos where George Clooney and others famous actors from the 80's and 90's where cast by Mr. Samuel Warren himself. It is a privileging and a blessing to have Mr. Warren as your acting coach.
