| 12th of Mar, 2011 by User662632 |
My daughter heard an ad on the radio that Disney needed kids for upcoming shows and major films. She jotted down the 800 number and came in the door all excited and begging me to call. I did, sounded legit..I was told that they were holding AUDITIONS and only select few would be chosen. It also sounded legit bc a Disney Star from the Suite Life if Zack and Cody would be there. I got excited too. How cool was this going to be, what a great first experience for my daughter who has wanted in this industry for a year or so now. We get to Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center (made it more legit bc thats a top notch place) Saw hundreds of excited kids and moms, it was exciting, they had pop music BLARING and it was hectic..we all had to stand out of the ballroom and fill out forms until they were ready for our group to come in...at this point I am wondering why I am not seeing the Disney or Nickelodeon logo anywhere..hmm..red flag..ok so we get caled to go in the room and are seated by employees in an orderly fashion, btw we were crammed like sardines.I look around and the posters I see are for CELEBRITY ACTORS CAMP??? what the heck is that??? (red flag) anyway..everyone is seated and the upbeat music stops. A lady with a cheap suit on and make up that reminded me off tammy faye baker takes the microphone. As soon as she started talking I knew we were in trouble..this was no audition this was a sales pitch. I had been duped and what made it worse was that MY CHILD would be the one to suffer..thats about as low as a scam artist can go. I wanted to walk out then but my daughter wanted to see Mr Moseby from Suite Life..and I didnt want her to remember this with me walking out upset. I sat through the whole ordeal. I have to admit these guys are good at what they do. they get these kids hopes up that they are going to be the next major star, you could see the sparkle in the eyes of these little children who truly believed what these low life adults were PROMISING them. They said that only a very few would get called back today and if you did not answer your phone they would not call you back but rather they would replace you with another child. I knew the call would come...they wanted money not talent. My child ha never taken acting lessons and I heard her audition, she was so nervous she spoke very quietly and pauses and said uhhhh several times..I love my kid more than anything but I highly doubt her talent got us that callback, there were kids with experience, 4in wide portfolios etc and MY child was one of the 50 best out of 800? I highly doubt it, she went for the experience and to see Mr Moseby!!! (thankfully she understood when we left and I told her it was a scam) she just said "it was fun though and I got to see Mr Moseby and he is short haha) She is a rare exception I am SURE, I saw the kids and parents who were genuinely believing what these people said.
Disny or Nickelodeon was not there and there were NO casting agents at all. I went thinking she was going on an AUDITION not to sign her up for a 5500 dollar" camp" . When I got the call today (I knew I would) that she was chosen they wanted cash immediately..I hung up..DONT WASTE YOUR TIME! This is a sad scam that breaks the hearts and crushes the dream of children |

I sent my daughter to Adrian's Celebrity Actor's camp in Spokane, WA recently. I have to admit, I was skeptical initially about spending a good deal of money on a camp. We don't have a lot to spare right now. I actually investigated the camp online quite extensively prior to agreeing to sign my daughter up. I found quite a few things about Adrian and his camp online. Most was positive, but some was negative. I asked myself, "Where are the negative comments coming from?" Anything negative appeared to be no one who had attended the camp, had a child attend the camp, or knew Adrian personally. All the positive comments came from people who had experienced the camp, paid to have their child experience it, or knew Adrian for some time. "Besides, " I told myself, "why would all of these wholesome Disney stars, casting directors, and talent agents associate themselves with something that's bad?" So, I took the chance and paid for the most expensive package that I could for my very excited daughter.
WOW!!! Am I glad that I did! From the first moment of the camp, I was impressed with the level of energy that was exhibited by the celebrities. The mood was electric. My daughter picked up on that and became electric. It just steam rolled from there. As the classes went on, she became more and more confident in herself, more poised, and completely excited about what was to come next. We spent 5 weekends hauling her to the camp and were so terribly disappointed when it ended. We all wished that it went on for much longer. It was AMAZING!!! She learned so very much.
I can honestly say that my little 10-year old girl went in and made the most of this opportunity. I have watched her develop a passion for acting, watched her work EXTREMELY hard to complete the assignments given to her regarding memorizing lines and practicing techniques, and become an incredibly confident young lady. This coming from my sweet little girl who was interested in only collecting new friends at all other activities she participated in. She became serious about her future. WOW!
The camp was run smoothly with little or no snafus. I found if I felt I was "mis" or "un" informed, it was because I didn't read something carefully as opposed to it not being provided to me.
The kicker is...it hasn't really ended. Adrian is very busy with his own acting career, his business, and life. However, I have since communicated with him regarding questions that I may have regarding procuring an agency to represent her, pictures that need to be taken, expenses that might be unnecessary, etc. He has ALWAYS returned my messages and usually with 24 hours. I almost feel like we're the only ones out there that he's dealing with. However, I know we're one of many. He makes us feel that way by caring and taking pride in his students’ success after they finish his camp.
The money that we spent was WELL WORTH IT!! And the services that the Celebrity Actor's Camp provides are ongoing, as far as I can tell they will continue to be provided in perpetuity.
Thank you, Adrian and Celebrity Actors Camp! We are proud to be associated with you! Here's to a successful business and opportunity for my daughter!! |

Recent graduate of Celebrity Actors Camp
AUTHOR: - Parent, LA Camp Rodriguez Family (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, April 12, 2011
I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Adrian R'Mante and his talented staff at the Celebrity Actors Camp. Adrian's camp travels around the United States working with youth who aspire to break into the acting world. Adrian provides classes for all different genres in the television industry: sit-com, drama, commercials, to name a few. He also expands his efforts into interviewing/auditioning techniques and the difficult task of marketing oneself in show business.
The camp makes an appearance in a city and advertises its presence on radio programs. The ads very clearly state that children between the ages of 6 and 19 can have an opportunity to learn how to break into the television industry. He makes no promises that it is a gateway to success, or that graduates of the camp will make automatically make it big. When the children audition for the camp staff they are told right off the bat that to make it big in the television industry hard work and a lot of rejection may be encountered, but if you really want it, keep trying. If you are right for the work, the work just might be waiting for you somewhere.
You are promised that your child will be taught skills that it requires to be successful in show business, that they will be treated as a member of an extended family, and, of course, that they will have a terrific time. |

Celebrity Actors Camp changed our lives
AUTHOR: AnnieB - miami (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, February 14, 2011
I was actually on this site researching a different company when I ran across the negative comment posted about the Celebrity Actor's Camp and although I've never done this before I felt compelled to defend the Camp's good name.
My daughter recently completed the program in Miami, Florida and I must say, the program has changed our lives. Within 24 hours of completing the program she had been accepted by a Talent agency. Within 48 hours of completing the program she received her first audition- a taped read for a new Fox Pilot. Her next audition is this Thursday for a clothing store commercial and I am hoping the roller coaster ride does not stop anytime soon.
The Celebrity Actors Camp program consists of 8-10 all day acting workshops that take place on the weekends over the course of 8-9 weeks. Yes, it is expensive, HOWEVER, that being said when you break it down week by week, you get what you pay for. Where else can you find acting classes tailored to children being taught by actual working actors. Phill Lewis flew into Miami the same day he had been filming on "Raising Hope". You want acting classes taught by a nobody who's career never made it anywhere you can find them starting from $299.00. You want a class taught by working actors who are also caring individuals, who genuinely want to "fast track" your child's career, then Celebrity Actor's Camp is the way to go.
I mean, the casting director from Nickelodeon studios in Hollywood California actually knows my daughter's name, just that connection alone is PRICELESS.
During the course of the 9 weeks of training my daughters acting skills grew in leaps and bounds. Adrian R'Mante and his wonderful staff have perfected the process with training for Commercials, Sitcom TV, Drama TV, Film and Theater. They will teach your child the proper steps to "nail" an audition and as an added bonus, turn out a more confidant individual.
They are the "real deal". If your child has acting in their blood, then you should hope and wish and pray that they make the cut and get accepted into Celebrity Actors Camp. It could save you years of beating your head against the wall to get introduced to the right people. |

The FACTS
AUTHOR: CAC - LA (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 25, 2011
To those of you who have read the evil and mean hearted blog above, please know that she has never participated in the camp. She has no foundation to make such negative comments about a company she has never attended or know anything about. I will not try to defend or write a rebuttal to person who has no merit from which she speaks but I will let our families who have ACTUALLY participated in the camp speak for us. Please read a few of many testimonials from actual campers and parents that have attended the camp. Also, read about the opportunities they received within the camp from agents, real auditions, jobs they booked and the Disney and Nickelodeon celebrities that trained them. Our families will speak for us:
You are both truly wonderful people and your program is outstanding. To think that in eight weeks you may have shaped Isabella's whole future. I am forever grateful. If you ever need anyone to write a testimonial about the outstanding awesomeness of your camp, please just let me know. Also to update you on things happening here. Monday at 12:14 p.m. I received a call from The Green Talent Agency here in Miami and Isabella has an appointment scheduled for an interview on Monday, February 21, 2011. Then last night at around 8:00 p.m. Lauren from The Green Talent Agency emailed a script for Isabella to memorize. This Thursday they want to tape her reading for the role of "Raquel" in a new pilot from Fox called Little in Common. Even without having done her interview! Wow, this is all going so fast it seems a bit surreal.
Thanks for everything, Annie And Isa
CAC,
I wanted to share with you about the extremely positive impact your camp has had on my family’s life. When my son, Brooklyn, was invited to join I had no idea what to expect. My wife and I were just parents who wanted to support the dream of our child and knew little about the industry or how to make the best path for our son. We had tried submitting him to an agent here or there before, but never had any response. Brooklyn is such a high energy young child that I feared he would not be able to pay attention long enough to really benefit from each of the workshops offered. My wife and I are truly appreciative to have been able to sit in and take notes for our son since he could not do so himself. It was amazing to see the rapid growth of not only our son, but also every child that was a part of the camp. It became very clear that this was the place for our son to learn about his passion and upgrading to level 4 was an obvious choice. After submitting Brooklyn to the agents on your list the way you instructed, the amount of agents who contacted us about Brooklyn was surprising and the numbers are still rising! He now has multiple legitimate agents that didn’t charge him anything upfront and is auditioning for commercials and print work regularly. Then something else incredible happened, I used the same tips you gave out at the camp and went on a few auditions of my own. I ended up booking several roles in independent movies and I have recently been casted for another! My son and I are proof that what you are doing works! I know in my heart that your camp will continue to grow and offer great opportunities for those who are passionate about their art! You have created a beautiful program and I am truly thankful for all the hard work you and your staff put forth.

Tested for a lead character in a new series for Disney! My son Nick has taken two workshops with Adrian R'Mante. He has grown so much as an actor and that is due to the fabulous teaching of Adrian. Adrian really has a knack for understanding kids and helping them really be in touch with themselves. Nick has thoroughly enjoyed every minute of class!! I also wanted to acknowledge the man behind the scene, Tim Sharpe. He is really the unsung hero and I just wanted to say thank you for being so gracious and helpful to us. Nick has gone out on some amazing auditions for lead roles in feature films since taking Adrian's camp. He has grown so much as an actor and that is due to the fabulous teaching of Adrian. Adrian really has a knack for understanding kids and helping them really be in touch with themselves. Nick just booked the new Ron Howard project, “Parenthood” and a new MTV series and movie starring opposite David Duchovny, which shoots in New Mexico thanks to The Celebrity Actors Camp!! Thanks Adrian and celebrities for EVERYTHING!!

Hi Adrian, Tim, Phil, Sandra and the rest of the gang... Thanks to all of you for giving Ashleigh and I a wonderful summer with CAC in LA. I know there must be a lot of hard work and organization that goes on behind the scenes to make this work As well, managing and giving your time to 50 kids of varying ages, day to day couldn't be an easy task. Sort of like the 1 room school of old. You are to be commended. Ashleigh has learned a lot about acting and picked up some life skills. I have noticed her to be more composed with greater confidence and self esteem when speaking with adults. She seems pleased with how her scene went last night and it is nice to see her more at ease on stage. We were unsure of how our summer would turn out but it has exceeded our expectations. We are grateful for the opportunity Adrian created for us to come. It became a summer not to be forgotten. Thanks for the memories and we hope to see you all again. We wish you all the best in your lives ahead. -Patricia Dear Tim, Adrian, and Chester,
If I told you the ATL Celebrity Actors Camp was a huge success it would be an understatement. The 3 day workshop provided the talent an amazing opportunity from which to learn, grow, and refine their talent. It was amazing to see the change these kids made in 3 short days. The respect, teaching, and care you offer the students with this program truly transformed many of the participants. The results were visibly evident Sunday afternoon when you met with us, the parents. Not only at my house did I hear, “this is the best thing I’ve ever done, I’m learning so much, I don’t want to leave, I wish I could do this again, “… it was also the majority consensus among other parents, as we talked with one another ( as parents do), and the same sentiments were being echoed and displayed by their children.

This Press Release alone proves that Shannon from Nashville is incorrect with her hateful, angry and unwarranted blog.
“I always wanted to break into the acting business and be on television but Celebrity Actors Camp actually helped make my dream possible."
Miami, FL (PRWEB) February 25, 2011
Susana Hoyos, a local teen from Celebrity Actors Camp in Miami, has just been cast to star in Nickelodeon Latin America’s Grachi, the network’s new live-action television program for teens and her television debut. Shot in Miami, the comedy series follows Grachi, a young girl who must learn to use her new found magical powers all while coping with her school, boys and just growing up. Grachi will be produced in Spanish and will be released in Latin America this spring. Susana Hoyos and her show, Grachi will also be distributed in the United States, Latin America and Europe. Hoyos, who recently attended Phill Lewis and Adrian R'Mante’s Celebrity Actors Camp in Miami and is represented by Lauren Greene from the Green Agency, credits her acting debut to her recent camp experience and training.“I always wanted to break into the acting business and be on television, ” said Hoyos, “but Celebrity Actors Camp actually helped make my dream possible.” If done correctly, acting camps can provide both professional and personal growth opportunities for young children and teenagers. The experience of individualized camp structure and emphasis on commercials, television and film gives attendees greater understanding of acting and the multi-faceted opportunities that accompany the experience including increased confidence in acting abilities and pride in accomplishments. Adrian R'Mante, who can currently be seen on the Disney Channel and Saturday mornings on ABC playing the role of Esteban on the hit television series The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, offers a six week celebrity acting camp taught by celebrities in cities across the United States and Canada. “I don’t think it should be that hard for kids and teenagers to follow their dream of acting. They just need training, confidence, true knowledge of the business and a few tricks to break into the Hollywood, ” says R'Mante.“It’s one thing to teach acting but it’s another thing to actually live in Hollywood and make a living as a professional actor on television. We want to pass this knowledge on the next generation of young actors and their parents.” Graduates of Celebrity Actors Camp have appeared in hits including NBC’s Parenthood, Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp, and Modern Family to name a few.

Jillian Sampley Update: Has now done 12 Burger King commercials Because of Adrian R'Mante great teaching and other celebrities, my daughter’s confidence has exploded! Jillian has recently booked two more Burger King spots that will be aring at the Teen Choice Awards. Sampley family :)
You know what's really cool? I just had a moment. LIKE A REAL emotional moment. It really struck me how everything happens for a reason. Fate is SO overwhelming. I was thinking how lucky I was to take a chance and stumble accross your camp. I WAS SO LUCKY to experience what I did this last summer. And now I am taking it to the next level. I am currently CAST in an independent FILM. I am also working on attending a University (currently at comm college) by next fall or spring. I am so overwhelmed at how lucky I got- with everything. And I say lucky because I don't believe I deserve this life. I don't think I worked HARD ENOUGH for my life. What have I done to be so lucky- to fall head over heals for the performing arts? It's like "how dare I" you know? How dare my life be great when so many others have it worse? What about the kids who never had an outlet like theatre and live in shambles? It's hard for me to accept my fortunes but it's not hard for me to appreciate those who helped me along the way. Thank you so much Adrian. Thank you for being real and truthful with me. Thank you for being a great teacher. You ARE someone who deserves the best. If you're human, and I know you are, you have doubts. I want to remind you to keep going strong. When I think of camp and how you and Sandra personally helped me, it makes me feel SO greatful. Wishing you the best of luck this year. PS Hug Sandra for me. Rosie

I want to thank you personally for everything you have done for Josh. He appreciates you so much. He now has an agent and we have been going out on auditions everyday it seems like. I know he would be no where with out your camp. Honestly I can say a job well done. You and your crew have inspired him so much, and as a mother I cannot believe this is going to be his career. I never dreamed of having a son in this business because I know how hard it is. It brings me tears of joy to know I am doing the right thing, and supporting him in each and every way I can. please spread the word for I am very great full for you and your team. You guys work well together and get things done. I love the fact that you are responsible, and organized, because other companies out there cannot compare to you at all. Thanks so much for everything, and lets keep in touch. Lunch one day? Tell Sandra hello for me, and we will miss you guys so much, and I cannot wait until pilot camp. Hopefully something good happens. Keep your fingers crossed. Thanks so much for everything again. God Bless. Sue
I was wondering if you have sent the feedback emails yet and I didn't get it? I was also wondering if there was any way that I could get a list of Hollywood agents, is that something you would have available, i wasn't sure. Also, I truly want Adrian to know that I was so taken by his honesty and enthusiasm with the kids and parents. He is "real" person who wants to pass his knowledge on to others so they can learn from his experience. My daughter has gained so much from her camp experience and I can truly say that she is not as shy and quiet as she was before. She beamed everytime I picked her up at the end of the day and I saw a mature, assertive side of her that I never knew existed! I can't thank Adrian and everyone enough for making us feel so empowered. Warmest regards, Karen
CAC Family,
Hannah has actually used what she has learned from camp in her everyday life. She had a Doctors appointment with a new Dr. When he came into the room he asked Hannah how she was doing, Hannah responded with..."I'm fine thanks. How are you?" This caught the Dr. off guard, he stopped, responded that he was fine and asked her how old she was. When she told him, he asked her if she was sure she was only 7. Throughout the appointment, he spoke directly with her, as though I was not even there. At the end off the appointment he went to leave. She told him.. " thank you, have a nice day". Again he was caught off guard, and he had Hannah go with him and he introduced her to another Dr. and Hannah responded the same way. Hannah left the office with the 2 Drs. and a nurse impressed with her. It was funny to see. Hannah did not even realize what she had done. When I mentioned it to her, she told me Adrian told her to be polite and nice!!! |

Hi my name is Jaynie Barber and I was a camper in Celebrity Actors Camp in Orlando, FL.
Adrian R'mante is amazing and his camp is well worth it to go through! Going through this camp it has help me build my self -esteem and I am so more confident about everything I do know. Everything I have learn though this camp I actually use in everyday life now. I see this whole blog is just with parents but this is actually coming from a person who went though the camp and is in the classes. Out of this camp I got two agents and I am still very excited that I got them. Before I audition for this camp I know I wanted to be an actor but I never new where to start I had no one guiding me in the right direction. Until I audition for this camp I knew I was in the right place and Adrian bring the Celebrities to you.. How many kids can actually say that there working with real actors on T.V. and they teach you the steps on becoming an actor/actress and he bring the agents to you at the end of camp to see your son or daughter. Come on no one can say that!! He is basically handing you everything right in your hands and all you need to do is take it!! Also even when the camp ends you can still stay in contact with Adrian and he always answers his messages with in 24 hours. Also every new celebrity that Adrian brought in every weekend was so sweet and nice and I was always ready to learn something new.
I think everyone who says this camp is a scam is CRAZY because it's NOT!!! Some parents just don't see everything but we the kids see's it all. Sometimes you just have to go for it and take the chance. I know the camp cost a lot of money but come on you got to think out side the box they fly in to your city every weekend to teach the kids, they stay in hotels and also get rooms to teach your kids in plus pay for plane tickets every weekend if you really think about it that is NOT CHEAP!!! No they don't talk to us about how much it cost for all that stuff but when I got out of the camp I thought about all of that because it's like wow that must cost a lot to do all of this.. So think twice when you think this camp is a scam! Thank you very much!
I don't know about you but Celebrity Actors Camp has changed my life and I am GLAD it did! :) |

I wouldn't say this camp is really that great. From personal exp the little lessons are the same as any other.. The "celebrities" (Not really a-list..) are rude.. And no not in front of you lovely paying parents but definitely behind you and your child's back.. I have heard them! Also Adrian calling people who didn't come to the camp "poor jealous people".. Cute.
MY RECOMMENDATION` Parents.. You as well as anyone else know there are no short cuts in life, not for the honestly successful. I guess if you feel like blowing five grand on the summer camp whatever but under all circumstances the weekend classes are a bad idea! Why?? There won't even be any agents.
The la summer camp is the only one exception that might be worth it, there are agents last time I checked. Just NO ONE should be doing the weekend camps where they fly to your city unless you wanna blow money.. Its crap some of the teachers that go aren't even in the business. What I mean by that is no past credits and haven't even been able to get a degree in acting.. Um thats all I have to say. Hope that helps! :) |

| All I have to say to "REALLYSERIOUS" is google "Leah Lewis Madison High" and see for yourself what this camp has done for Leah, who is a graduate of Celebrity Actors Camp. Leah is set to Star in a NEW Disney Channel show called "Madison High" simply because of the training and opportunity she received from CAC. This is just one of many success stories...so your blog above holds no merit or foundation. To the readers viewing this blog, please know that "REALLYSERIOUS" is simply writing hate mail and is definitely a competitor who is trying to defame the prestige of this program. Anyone who has been to the camp knows the heart of Adrian and his accusations above are simply hate and unwarranted. If you read ALL the blogs on the Internet, you will NOT find one person stating that CAC scammed them out of money. The only complaints on the Internet are from people who have never participated in the program and are simply upset that the camp cost money. The Disney and Nickelodeon celebrities who work with the kids simply train and create opportunities for young artists who love to perform!! Please, all I ask is for you to look at our successes on our website...you can not make up facts!! |

Today I took my daughter to this AUDITION and while it seems to be a legit summer camp it still seems to be a sort of scam... It does seem that I will be getting a phone call tomorrow because.. and not to seem rude but my kid was the best dressed and had her own monologue memorized.. While other children were misbehaving and looked sloppy... We most likely looked the part of someone who could pay their fee to take this acting camp... My husband who heard the radio ad (I missed it) signed her up and got her excited while not asking me first or trying to research it.. (He said the ad stated that only the first 200 callers would be signed up) He then decided he wanted to go through with it and booked hotel reservations... He told me that it was an audition for a part with Disney... Nothing about an acting camp that he was aware of... Its about 1 hour from my house so I though if anything else she would get to see the SPECIAL GUEST star and have some fun while in Orlando... While my daughter has taken acting classes in the past I understand that they do have to audition for a non-entry level acting class typically.. (same goes for ballet and other classes that were available) I expected this because I thought there is no way they will take any random child no matter how much raw talent they have to become hired without any acting type of classes... And I also figured that it would most likely cost something... But how much? Well level four is 5900... But do I need level four?When we arrived at the "2nd stage" of the audition process we were interviewed in a very loud crowded Ballroom so hearing everything said perfectly was near impossible.. Not to mention the fast talk of the interviewer to go along with it.. Well I am sure you can imagine.. But what I gathered is that they really wanted people to take at least the level three or four which ranges from 4-6k give to take a 100 bucks... We then took our pamphlet and went ahead and let our child have her audition that she practiced all week which was conducted alone with Mr. Moseby from "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and "The Suite Life on Deck" Phill Lewis.. So that alone was worth at least the hotel cost because she received one on one time... She had a lot of fun this weekend.. However this seems more like a scam because they lure you in with FALSE RADIO ADS... (Do they really need to lie?) and then while I was waiting to be interviewed I went on my iPhone going onto the website looking for prices... When we went through almost the entire process THEN we finally got the price... Why isn't the information on the website? Why is the CAC calendar blank if there is classes in July? Overall the entire informational process was very vague... (what is there to hide?) I still don't know if they want her to travel to LA or not for the classes... Is the airfare or head shots included in all the prices? The pamphlet is also vague... All levels say they will meet with a Casting Director and have an Agent Showcase... But I found a post of someone saying they took the classes and didn't get that... That only the level fours got those things... Is there a lie in there somewhere also? This person on yahoo answers states:
Hilary up there, is actually cassie lynne corsaro(find her on facebook), she works for adrian r'mante celebrity actors camp, she is the coordinating director, sheorganizes the funs days and stuff like that so she has to says what she says or else she'll get fired, but she wouldnt want that cause adrian pays big. but i would say go with the level 4 package. thats the closest you'll get to get an agent. I went to the weekend camps, and the summer camp and I didnt even get an agent..oh btw dont go to the summer camp, its not worth the $3500 which doesnt include housing, food, or the tickets for fundays. they dont even serve lunch during camp, you have to bring it yourself or get your parents to drop it off for you, its unorganized, the studio is tiny and filthy, the end showcase is held at the tinyiest theater i've ever seen and theres no stage, there was a perfect stage for the showcase at the same location but they said they couldnt afford it. wtf? anyway its "the elephant theatre company. Back to before, the weekend camps, dont get you agents, they just come here for show and just to check it out, nobody from my weekend camp got an agent or even get considered by one, and they're all really talented.the weekend camp is basically leading up to the audition for adrian for his summer camp.not everyone got to audition for some agents, for our camp, adrian brought in other CD and agents for just the level 4s.
Source(s):
myself if you want to know more, i can talk to you personally. please trust me, i want you to know the truth, i thinks it fair, even though nobody told me.
So unless I buy the level four package my kid doesn't really get seen by anyone? Isn't that what parents are paying for? so its 6k plus at least 100 bucks a week for a furnished place with everything included... but that's 2100 dollars... So for the entire experience its 8k? Not counting food or gas... Wow.. really? And that still doesn't mean the cost of a flight and car rental is included.. Last time I checked the car rental rates per week is about 250.. And I have heard recently you can get a flight for under 400... for at least 2 people to go that's double! So far if flights are not included that's 9, 550... Still not counting gas or food... If we didn't fly it would be around 300 to drive gas one way... You're still talking 8600... If you're loaded and have money to burn.. and really want your child to have a summer acting class with celebrities for about 10k go for it... But really I am expecting that phone call tomorrow... Because we look like we could afford it... Imagine if I had two or more kids going? 20k acting classes for the summer? I am a house wife.. So I don't work... So I have time to do this.. But what if I didn't? I lose work too? That can cost thousands more... I have no idea what these people are thinking... maybe 1% of parents have enough to do it.. What if a family is scrapping to get the money together... Giving up college funds and savings for important things... For a lovely summer with some celebrities? I looked all over the internet searching for scam alerts.. Only really finding a couple.. And some talk about stuff that happened back before 2009... And also the most discouraging thing I find is the same success stories being used to dispute negative posts like the one I am about to post... All stories on their website... All being disputed by the same people over and over... Here is a hint while reading someone nice being said.. Does it have the same name at the end of the posts over and over? <random name> Fontana... Fontana is a town in California.. I've been there... And its not a very nice place... Its average at best... AUTHOR: AnnieB - Miami I saw over and over... Someone from Spokane, WA...

Cassie seems to be a real tool... She consistently calls anyone saying negative things EVIL... How is being cautious being evil? I would say if anything you are the EVIL one.. And all celebrities associated with this scam... Whats wrong with you lady? Cassie I know your going to read this because you C**k Block every negative thing said... It also appears you have things removed from websites as well and then spamming in its place all the success stories you have.. Which is about a dozen at best... You would think after doing this for at least 3 years you could have more than a dozen success stories? This means to me that not even 1% of children get discovered through your talent school... (about the same rate of CHANCE would be) Does that seem worth 10k to anyone? Also Cassie.. and Anyone else reading this... NO REAL COMPANY USES YAHOO MAIL FOR A BUSINESS E-MAIL ACCOUNT... Anyone trying to sell you something online at all.. If they are using a free e-mail provider they are a scam... Also on the official web site under contact info all there is, is a phone number... Anyone can make that website.. Including my husband who is a web designer/developer... That doesn't make it legit.. and what do I see? NO ADDRESS OF THE COMPANY TO SEND SNAIL MAIL TO... and yet another yahoo mail account... WHAT? Yes!! Just another yahoo mail account... You are ripping people off making 300k in 3 weeks and you can't even get a real e-mail account? Look yourself everyone!!! The e-mail is [email protected] ... If anyone has bought this summer camp and they don't feel like they got their monies worth you really need to report it to the Better Business Bureau... Something has to be done to inform the general public of this... It should be stopped or at least changed how business is being conducted.. I find it very unprofessional... And who wants to pay 10k for 3 weeks with people who are so unprofessional? If you want your child to have fun at a summer acting camp there are camps that are under 3k and that INCLUDES food, room and board... And many have celebrities that also show up... Also if you feel you must use this one.. I would go for the one under 2k and plan on spending money to fly/car rental or drive there... Plus food and gas... that cuts it at least in 1/2 to about 5k... Don't blow savings on this!!! As I stated before do you really think your child is going to be the >1% who gets discovered? Why can't that happen with another acting summer school where you also get to meet celebrities and agents? DON'T SPEND COLLEGE FUNDS ON THIS!! Save the money for college!! These people are just preying on children and families dreams to become stars... If you do want to spend some money on this.. Don't expect anything more than your child to meet celebrities and have a memorable summer... And the celebrities who are allowing themselves to be associated with CAC you should really reconsider.. Your going to destroy your reputation like Adrian R'Mante... Is that what you want? And if you are knowingly enabling these horrible things to be happening to these families is that what you would have wanted? And for the families who have already blown college funds and life savings on this and haven't made your money back.. It is time to speak now.. If you don't you are just as bad as the people who are scamming if not worse because you know whats happening and you're doing nothing to stop it... You're being a BYSTANDER... I choose to lead through example!!! As should all the GOOD people in this world!!! Don't be another victim!!! Research everything!!! Also if they wont take checks, money orders or credit cards to hide a paper trail.. This is also a good indicator it is a scam... I am starting to wonder if this is a legit business at all!!! Everyone I would like to advise you to remember.. In the end it wont matter how much money you have or your status... Your GOOD actions and the LOVE you put out is all that will matter when you die... I hope you know that Cassie... It seems you have sold your soul... You and everyone else who knows this is happening and you do NOTHING to help stop it!!! Including you celebrities who are enabling this to continue... Do the right thing!!!
Peace and Love,
Geeta |

I'm not a competitor lol. No I act, I helped out with a camp. I don't even want to put my name because I wouldn't wanna associate myself with it. To me it is shameful to charge so much with little or no return. If you look closely at my comment you will see that I didn't turn down the camp completely just any of the weekend camps you will probably not get representation. Besides seeing that most of the guest celebrities didn't even like the kids or think they were good at all. Hey I'm just being honest. Take from it what you want!
Cochino, I would chill out a bit. Unless your getting paid your just making yourself look bad. If you want your daughter to have a good future I wouldn't start causing a ruckus for someone else's company. Take your success and run. Also its nice to see some people have morals.. I'm starting a family and I actually don't want my child to be apart of the industry at all. I hope they have a good heart.:) Best of luck to all you parents! |

| Has anyone ever heard of workshops where you get to meet agents and casting directors for cheaper? Just wondering. I'm not sure where to find them only I have a friend that lets me know about them. Just a heads up if your not into acting. |
|
|
|
| REALLYSERIOUS, you are making some huge claims that is borderline slander. What experience did you have with this camp because anyone who has attending the camp knows first hand that all the celebrities that teach the kids are on TV right now. So what do you mean when you say some of the teachers that go are not in the business. Doesn't make sense and proves that you have not participated in the camp. When have you heard the celebrities talk about the kids in a negative light? Why would celebrities spend their weekend flying to city if they are just gonna talk negatively about the kids. You are not adding up reallyserious. You are sounding reallyfullofit. Prove your accusations!! |

Hold on.. I just farted a bit.. I missed what you said! Anyways mostly these camps just pay for these "celebrities" and other ppls bank accounts. I have been to a camp and I would never go again! It was told to me by one of the set coaches "These kids really don't know what there doing" (In a uh what am I doing here kind of voice) Same story as the others too!
**THE WEEKENDEND CAMPS ARE A RIP OFF** Why??? because they do the same warm ups and exercises that I have seen ANY where else just with a person who might of been on tv before. You won't get representation from these only spending your hard earned cash on some celebrity fun! I am here to defend the working class people who need to know the truth and if you cared about them too you wouldn't be scamming them with ruthless tactics to get there money.. That being said I do not want to be associated with this mess of a program and have since left it. Parent, be informed don't go in blindly. You can go to the camp just see be careful to understand that the chance of being "discovered" is about the same as anywhere else.
If you want to get "discovered" find how you can meet these agents and casting directors yourself. Most of them meet with people at things called "workshops" where they will watch your child work for themselves. You can probably find everyone of the people that visit the CAC on your own without having to step foot in a cheesy rip off class. LOVE YOU ALL, Take care:) :) :) |

| CAC has developed many successful actors and the proof is in the press releases. All you have to do is check them out online. You obviously studied at the wrong camp and now you are trying to say that every camp program is the same. That's an unfair statement to make especially when you have not participated in Celebrity Actors Camp. PERIOD and there is no debating that reallyserious. Hopefully one day you too will be successful. |

Hey Xena,
Another person who speaks from ignorance and no foundation for your claims. A few things, it is not a summer camp in LA(LA Camp is exclusive and not open to the public) but it is a local TV and Film camp in Orlando for 6 weeks and our 4th time in this city with tons of success stories!! Please google these Orlando and Miami Campers success stories for your knowledge: Leah Lewis "Madison High", West Delarosa "Renee" and Suzana Hoyos "Nickelodeon." I would give you dozens of our campers who have booked commercials but they do not post press releases on commercials. We have only been in Orlando for one year and we have a camper about to star in a New Disney Channel Show called "Madison High" which is the next Glee type of show for The Disney Channel. PLEASE TELL ME HOW THIS YOUNG ACTRESS WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THIS OPPORTUNITY WITHOUT CELEBRITY ACTORS CAMP. Wow, sure seems like a scam to me. You are just the 3rd person in the 3 years, of our existence, that has written the same type of negative blog...that's not bad for 3 years!! We understand there are going to be people like you out there to take down a good product but all in all it's just YOUR opinion of the prices and audition process but NOTHING about the quality of the camp program.(because you never participated in the camp) You claim we only have a dozen of the same positive blogs so I decided to provide you with a completely different list of positive reviews for your knowledge and records. You said it yourself, you researched us and can't find any negativity about us but just the same complaint 3 times. "The Audition Process" Well, we choose to audition and pick our kids for this opportunity because we work with top of the line industry professionals and it's important that we don't waste their time on who we put in front of them. To ALL the readers and Xena, please enjoy the Letters of Appreciation below which are directly from our families who ACTUAL participated in the our camp.(unlike Xena) All we can do is continue to deliver a great service to our young performers and we will despite haters like Xena.
More Testimonials of the ARCAC!
My daughter Ruby went through the celebrity's actors camp in Spokane WA. I want to let everyone know, that it was a great experience for us as a family, and her as a actress.
It built herself confidence, and taught her how to own audition. Adrian R' Mante Was the owner of the camp. Him and his wife Sandra run the camp and according to Ruby "they are the best teachers ever."
I cannot stress enough how much it helped my daughter, it offered her opportunities that she had only dreamed of, that would have never been available to her if she had not went through this camp.
Also though the camp they provided the the opportunity to audition in front of casting directors, and she had not one but two call backs, and now she has her very own agent, that finds her all the work she wants. Since finishing the camp she has booked acting and modeling jobs.
So for those of you that are contemplating putting your child through Celebrity's Actors Camp, It was well worth every penny. I highly recommend it to any of you.
It was a very small price to pay to have my daughters dreams come true!!!
Caitlin O'Neill
Thank you so much!!
Dear Adrian and Sandra,
Thank you so much for an amazing experience at CAC. I enjoyed every single second of it! Not to mention that I learned so much! Sandra: you helped so much at the front desk. Also your emails that you sent out each week were fabulous and oh-so helpful. When ever I had a question you always had the answer. Thank you so much for being a part of this wonderful camp and helping out so much. Adrian: I honestly can not thank you enough for helping me out with my acting and for starting this camp. I learned more then I ever thought possible in those 6 weeks. I was so eager to learn something new each week. Monday through Friday seemed to drag on because I was so excited to come to camp. Even though the camp days were long, when ever it would be time to go home I never wanted to leave. This experience was the best experience of my life. When I was doing my monologue, “Bruised”, I was getting so frustrated because each week everyone would tell me to do something different with it. I tried to take bits and pieces of each person’s advice but then I felt like I was over doing it and I was “over-acting.” Finally when I got to work with you all you said to me was “don’t act it, just speak the lines.” As I was using your advice, I got so emotional with it and my eyes were filling up with tears! At that moment, I realized that I wasn’t even acting…it became so real and that’s why I got emotional. I could have never done that with out you and I thank you so much for it.
I will never forget you advice and helpful tips. I am most definitely going to use then towards my upcoming acting career. I am so grateful to be exposed to those agents and have this wonderful experience and I really can thank you enough. I hope to keep in touch and see you soon.

Subject: Canyon Moretti Celebrity Camp In Providence, R.I.
Hello Adrian,
Writing to let you know that Canyon had a interview with a new monologue at Model Club Inc in Boston & they have now accepted him as his agent for the New England area. In his free time from school he wants to attend Theater Classes at Trinity Rep in Providence as well as returning to your camp in the near future. Right now we are also sending out his head shots to other agents that you have supplied.
Thank you so much for given Canyon the opportunity to be apart of your camp as well as sharing & taking your gift of acting so seriously. Now I understand how without your camp it would be a lot harder for future actors to excel. This experience has given him the confident & enhanced my son's talent with everything your camp has taught him. If he did not tell me he wanted to be an actor I had almost said no to having him attend your camp. I am so glad I changed my mind and listen to him.
Hey, my name is Sebastian Mercado, and I just finished my CAC experience a week ago. Honestly, I loved this camp. It's an experience I will NEVER forget & something I learned so much from. I've always had a passion for acting & I've been wanting to take it to the next level. So I enrolled in CAC after hearing about it on the radio. On the first day of camp, I knew nobody, I was insecure about my acting skills because I assumed everyone else was stellar, and I was around celebrities; so I was pretty overwhelmed. During this 6 week course, I made a handful of new friends, gained a lot of confidence, learned so much about what acting really is & the inside scoop on everything else. The celebrities Adrian R'Mante brings in are awesome. I have no complain about them. They make sure you're learning & everyone participates. They even have a one-on-one with you if you need help. After every class was over, I always wanted to go back. And, that's coming from a 16 year-old. Every class is different, but it builds on what you learned the week before. I really felt like I belonged there, and in a way, it was like a mini-family. All the older kids got along with the little kids. They always had questions for us, and they learned from watching us. We were like a role model to them, in a way. The last weekend at camp, we had a showcase for agencies from around the country. Adrian brought in several ones at the Providence camp. In all honesty, I was completely nervous. I had never done anything of this type of caliber before. But, I remembered all the things I've learned; such as, turning that nervousness into energy. I went into the showcase pretty confident, not really knowing how well I performed. They told us we would receive a call-back within 3 hours and 3 months. I received a call back the next day. The Boston agent really loved me. I went this past week for an interview, signed with them, and went on my first casting call 2 days ago. If someone would have told me I would be signed to an agency to be on TV & Film 6 months ago, I would have NEVER believed them. Larry Lafond, a casting director from Nickelodeon, also has me on his callback list. None of this would have ever happened if it weren't for Adrian, Sandra, & of course, the fabulous crew he brings in. Recently, I was just accepted to attend the Summer Camp in L.A. this summer. I'm looking forward to attending, & learning a lot more! I want to thank Adrian and everyone associated to CAC for this opportunity, that I will most certainly take advantage of. If you're a young actor that wants to pursue acting, I HIGHLLY RECOMMEND that you take the Celebrity Actors Camp, you won't regret it!
Sebastian Mercado
Adrian,
Thank you so much for holding such an amazing camp! My name is Jai Saint and I'm Executive Director of Talent Management for Urban Models and Talent of Orlando, Florida. I have been to your camp as a scout and and an industry expert on your discussion panel twice. Each time I have walked away with amazing talents. Your most recent class of all star talents actually brought us over twenty talents to our agency. Each one has been thoroughly trained in the proper industry etiquette and know how needed to survive in the entertainment industry. Our greatest accomplishment is West! West is a six year old triple threat whose acting capabilities far exceed that of any of my talents. He has landed his first feature film role opposite, Chad Michael Murray and Corbin Bleu in the up coming film "RENEE". West has also done numerous auditions and is also featured in the Bealls Store Catalog. I really appreciate all that you have taught these kids and I look forward to more groups coming our way. See you in April!
Thanks
Jai Saint
Executive Director Urban Models Inc.
Hi Adrian! I already wish camp lasted months instead of weeks=[ The memories, the friends, the pep talks they seem so far away. I loved this camp so much and I know that it payed off. The work and passion from everyone is there and to be surrounded by people who are in it for the kill, its a true Utopia! As for my preparation, my monologue seems to be either Horrors of the Holidays or Bruised. Bruised is definitely one I want to do along with Holidays but Cameron suggested to do Horrors of the Holidays rather than Bruised because of how I come across (bubbly, happy and all smiles). I will be practicing both so when you come a decision can be made. Could you please tell all the instructors I had (Chester, Tanya, Cassie, and Cameron) that my time with them was not just splendid but emotional. Cassie once asked me "What do plan to do with this?" I think I may finally have an answer for her. I want to be a musical actress and enjoy my time with sitcoms, 1 hour dramas, movies, comercials, and everything! I want to be the whole package; to sing, dance, and act. Somehow in this camp through all my trifle with life, I found out I need to be who I am and love doing what I do. Nothing will stop me now and its from my supprot system. Adrian, you and the camp are now part of my support system=]
Thank you...for everything,
Brittany*
Adrian, Phill and Sandra,
You are both truly wonderful people and your program is outstanding. To think that in eight weeks you may have shaped Isabella's whole future. I am forever grateful. If you ever need anyone to write a testimonial about the outstanding awesomeness of your camp, please just let me know. Also to update you on things happening here. Monday at 12:14 p.m. I received a call from The Green Talent Agency here in Miami and Isabella has an appointment scheduled for an interview on Monday, February 21, 2011.
Then last night at around 8:00 p.m. Lauren from The Green Talent Agency emailed a script for Isabella to memorize. This Thursday they want to tape her reading for the role of "Raquel" in a new pilot from Fox called Little in Common. Even without having done her interview! Wow, this is all going so fast it seems a bit surreal.
Lastly, please confirm with me the date, time and place for the photography session. You mentioned it would be on February 15 or 16?
Thanks for everything,
Annie And Isa
Adrian,
I wanted to share with you about the extremely positive impact your camp has had on my family’s life. When my son, Brooklyn, was invited to join I had no idea what to expect. My wife and I were just parents who wanted to support the dream of our child and knew little about the industry or how to make the best path for our son. We had tried submitting him to an agent here or there before, but never had any response.
Brooklyn is such a high energy young child that I feared he would not be able to pay attention long enough to really benefit from each of the workshops offered. My wife and I are truly appreciative to have been able to sit in and take notes for our son since he could not do so himself. It was amazing to see the rapid growth of not only our son, but also every child that was a part of the camp. It became very clear that this was the place for our son to learn about his passion and upgrading to level 4 was an obvious choice.
After submitting Brooklyn to the agents on your list the way you instructed, the amount of agents who contacted us about Brooklyn was surprising and the numbers are still rising! He now has multiple legitimate agents that didn’t charge him anything upfront and is auditioning for commercials and print work regularly. Then something else incredible happened, I used the same tips you gave out at the camp and went on a few auditions of my own. I ended up booking several roles in independent movies and I have recently been casted for another!
My son and I are proof that what you are doing works! I know in my heart that your camp will continue to grow and offer great opportunities for those who are passionate about their art! You have created a beautiful program and I am truly thankful for all the hard work you and your staff put forth.
Sincerely,
Robert Willard
Hi Adrian,
I hope you are doing well! It sounds like you have been pretty darn busy since camp has been over. Congrats on your latest movie! You'll have to share the title when you're allowed to. When does Underground come out? I know it's soon. I keep looking for a commercial, even though I'm probably too much of a chicken to watch a lot of it with my eyes open! It looks scary! :o)
It's so odd to be back home after spending so much time in L.A. this summer. We ended up staying until September 3rd. What a fun summer it was. We can't wait to come back for pilot season!!!
I just wanted to share what is going on with Justin. After we got home, I sent out the letters and headshots to the Seattle agents that you had sent out to us. We have interviewed with two so far and have another interview at the end of the month. I am so impressed with Colleen Bell Modeling and Talent. Colleen submitted him for an audition upon receipt of his headshot. This is what she sent me:
Dear Justin (and mom -
I received your headshot in the mail and am MORE than interested in talking to you about representation with the Bell Agency in Seattle. Your resume is impressive and your look is darling
Your headshot came in at perfect timing. One of our largest casting directors in Seattle is having an audition on Monday 9/27 for a Commercial - I scanned the picture and sent it over to them because they had asked for a 10 yr old boy - and I knew she would love your look
They would like to have you audition for it on Monday if you are avail.
We would only represent you for this job if you choose to audition but would LOVE TO HAVE YOU COME IN TO OPEN CALL in the near future. You can get all details to our open call on our website at www.colleenbellagency.com click on Open Call tab.
Please let me know if you are interested and I will send all the details to you at that time. Here are the basics.
Jewelers - TV spot
Non Union
Audition Monday 9/27
Call back 9/29
Shoot Oct 4-7 (one day per talent)
Pay 1000.00 minus comm childrens rate
2 year usages during holidays
Sincerely,
Colleen
He didn't book the job, but it was so exciting to go on an audition so quickly upon arriving back home - especially in Seattle! She is also trying to submit him for an ongoing modeling job (1-3 times per month). We are planning to sign with her. We met with them last week and they offered Justin representation. She has the passion and enthusiasm that you described as what to look for in an agent. They also seem top notch. I thought you'd want to know...
We are also heading to L.A. for a quick trip on Thursday this week. Carla booked a movie audition for Justin so we are flying down for the day. We'll keep plugging away at this, it's only a matter of time...
See you in a few months! Hello to Sandra as well :o) We miss you guys!

Tested for a lead character in a new series for Disney! My son Nick has taken two workshops with Adrian R'Mante. He has grown so much as an actor and that is due to the fabulous teaching of Adrian. Adrian really has a knack for understanding kids and helping them really be in touch with themselves. Nick has thoroughly enjoyed every minute of class!! I also wanted to acknowledge the man behind the scene, Tim Sharpe. He is really the unsung hero and I just wanted to say thank you for being so gracious and helpful to us.
Nick has gone out on some amazing auditions for lead roles in feature films since taking Adrian's camp.
He has grown so much as an actor and that is due to the fabulous teaching of Adrian. Adrian really has a knack for understanding kids and helping them really be in touch with themselves. Nick just booked the new Ron Howard project, “Parenthood” and a new MTV series and movie starring opposite David Duchovny, which shoots in New Mexico thanks to The Celebrity Actors Camp!! Thanks Adrian and celebrities for EVERYTHING!!

When Chelsea was invited to attend the Adrian R'Mante Celebrity Actors Camp this past summer in LA, we were thrilled for the opportunity - but little did we know how great it would turn out! The staff, instructors and coaches were absolutely first-rate, and watching all the kids learn and grow their skills - let alone the joy they had doing it - was great to watch. Right from the beginning everyone was provided with the very best opportunities - amazing yet affordable professional headshots; numerous auditions with some of the best agents around ; ongoing skills development from actors, coaches and casting directors as well. What more could we possibly have asked for?!
Well. there was more! Besides all the hard work, there were plenty of fun times when parents and kids alike got together and just had a ball! Adrian and staff recognized the need for everyone to 'unwind' from time to time, and we had fun! All the kids were great and enjoyed themselves so much together - it was like one ig family by the time camp came to a close. What was the best though, was all the encouragement and support given from start to finish to any child who had a shot at an audition or other opportunity. The staff and Adrian himself would work and rehearse with the child so he or she could do their best and get what they were going after!
And that was just the extra boost that Chelsea needed. During the camp she had to fly to an event in Phoenix to participate in a national talent and modeling competition. The event was four days of nonstop auditions, rehearsals and presentations to agents and managers from LA, New York and Florida. The training and confidence from Adrian's camp gave her everything she needed to show her best self with confidence - and she came back the first-place winner of the toughest age division, even though she was the youngest! Her grand prize made all the difference for us, and allowed us to continue on so she can pursue her passion for acting. As if that weren't enough, once we got back to camp she also landed parts in a TV episode for the eHealth Network and in a short film called Sidewalk Symphony. It was quite a first experience in LA and we are now getting prepared to return for pilot season - and hope this time we can stay a lot longer!
Thanks to absolutely everyone from the Adrian R'Mante Celebrity Actors Camp! We love you all, and look forward to many great years to come!

Adrian’s camp rocks! James has grown so much in his acting craft. To his credit, he plays a classmate in The Most Astonishing News, a Japanese television show, where they dubbed all the lines in Japanese and a little league player in an episode of Parenthood, a new pilot, that was picked up by the network. James has also been on an episode or two of Kids Unlimited and Say What!, a local kids T.V. show. Most recently he has done a PSA for Saving the Parks, a piece focused on Mt. Diablo State Park in the east bay.
I cannot say enough about Adrian and Tim who both make the kids feel welcome and bring out the best in all of them. We will definitely continue training with Adrian and company.

Hello Adrian,
“Savanna and I met you at JRP in B"ham Al. about a year ago with Chester See. We hope that you are doing well, all of you. Savanna is with an agent in Ga. at the present, but we wanted to share something with you. Although she was an extra, we recently had the pleasure of seeing her on the big screen. She was in the Tyler Perry's newest movie, "I Can Do Bad All By Myself". The look on her face made us so very happy, and proud for her.She is an amazing child! The movie was excellent! Funny, and heartwrenching at the same time! I know that she will always treasure meeting you, but mostly, what a kind and caring person you are. I'm sure you probably won't remember her, after meeting so many people.(we sent her headshot to maybe jog your memory), but we will never forget you or what you taught her. Thank you so much! We wish you all the best!”
Sincerely,
Denise
“We are absolutely honored to have been a part of the camp, and are (as you know) so deeply appreciative to Adrian and all of you for such a tremendous opportunity. We look forward to continuing with your future endeavors and contributing in any way we can. Chelsea loves you all and it was the very best start she could ever possibly have dreamed of, and there is no doubt in our minds that this opportunity with such wonderful people will - as time will tell -- be what gave her her start in this industry. And we feel there is a very real possibility that she will go far and do well. We both look forward to the day that we can 'pay it forward' to other young people who will be where we are now.”

Hi Adrian, Tim, Phil, Sandra and the rest of the gang...
Thanks to all of you for giving Ashleigh and I a wonderful summer with ARYAC in LA. I know there must be a lot of hard work and organization that goes on behind the scenes to make this work As well, managing and giving your time to 52 kids of varying ages, day to day couldn't be an easy task. Sort of like the 1 room school of old. You are to be commended. Ashleigh has learned a lot about acting and picked up some life skills. I have noticed her to be more composed with greater confidence and self esteem when speaking with adults. She seems pleased with how her scene went last night and it is nice to see her more at ease on stage. We were unsure of how our summer would turn out but it has exceeded our expectations. We are grateful for the opportunity Adrian created for us to come. It became a summer not to be forgotten. Thanks for the memories and we hope to see you all again. We wish you all the best in your lives ahead.
-Patricia
Thank you for an amazing experience this summer. I can't imagine topping this summer. We will miss each and everyone of you.
Best regards,

Dear Tim, Adrian, and Chester,
If I told you the ATL Celebrity Actors Camp was a huge success it would be an understatement. The 3 day workshop provided the talent an amazing opportunity from which to learn, grow, and refine their talent. It was amazing to see the change these kids made in 3 short days. The respect, teaching, and care you offer the students with this program truly transformed many of the participants. The results were visibly evident Sunday afternoon when you met with us, the parents. Not only at my house did I hear, “this is the best thing I’ve ever done, I’m learning so much, I don’t want to leave, I wish I could do this again, “… it was also the majority consensus among other parents, as we talked with one another ( as parents do), and the same sentiments were being echoed and displayed by their children.
Please let me know when you plan to come back to ATL for the follow-up auditions with the Casting Director, as Kelly Hooper is attending ACT classes in the ATL A.C.T. Satellite Program and not JRP. She can’t wait to attend another camp with you and she is checking email daily to see if she has an invite to the Summer Camp in LAX. On a side note, Kelly has made Chester a Valentine poster of he and Taylor Swift and is anxiously awaiting his musical response to Swift’s “ Whitehorse ”. Kelly is sending the poster to the Celebrity Actors Camp address in North Hollywood, listed on the website.
Thanks again for a great 3 day workshop. I wish each of you safe trips and continued success. We’re looking forward to future workshops including the newly announced camps associated with America ’s National Teenager Organization.
Warmest Regards,
Vickie Earle
Thank you for coming to JRP in Toronto. Wow…what a weekend for the kids! There are 30+ young actors going through major Adrian and Chester withdrawal. As a parent, it was amazing to see the dynamics of the group evolve over the weekend. I can’t believe how much Keira changed and drew in just a few days, she has always been confident, but, she’s different now, it’s hard to describe.
-Ursula Tidmand (Parent Toronto Camp)
This is the young blonde, Kirsten, from the workshop. I just wanted to thank you for coming there and teaching me. Your advice has already helped me become a better actor.
Thanks again for coming.
-Kirsten (Student)
Thank you for traveling north for our children. What an amazing opportunity! Moreover, thank you for truly caring about our children.
-Lucy Pudvan (Parent San Francisco Camp)
Simply wanted to pass on our appreciation and praise with respect to your recent camp in Toronto.
Your camp provided an opportunity for my daughter, Stefani, to learn while having tons of fun ... and, as you know, at eight years old learning is best done while having fun!
Like most of the other children present ... Stefani did not want to see the sessions, let alone the weekend, end. That more than anything speaks to the worthiness of your camp's offerings.
As a parent, I was most impressed by Tim’s professionalism, Adrian's genuine commitment to helping children (and his charisma is nothing to laugh at either) and Chester's dynamic, warm presence.
Money well spent ... wonderful memories ... and information and inside tips that are sure to come in handy!
Keep up the good work!
-A satisfied parent and child actor,
Gail and Stefani
This past week, my son Anthony was lucky enough to attend a special workshop by Adrian. I just wanted to let you know what a great time he had. I was especially impressed with Adrian's big heart and true love for the business. My son is only 6 years old but he too has a big heart and when he was upset, Adrian took to time to do a special scene with him which made his day. Thank you for this wonderful experience and if Adrian ever comes back to the
New York area, I hope Anthony will be able to attend another one of his workshops. Thank you for this wonderful experience.
A grateful mom and an excited 6 year old.
P.S. If you have a newsletter, please put me on your list.
-Thank you,
Darcie Cortese (Long Island, New York)

If you truly research the negative reports about CAC you will find that Marilyn Jusino (aka reallyserious) is behind defaming and slandering our name and the person behind the news report. (she is the black haired lady in the news report who is spewing lies) This has become a legal matter and a lawsuit against her is forthcoming for slander and defamation of character. I've said it before and I will continue to say the truth and that is Marilyn Jusino's sister Abby PARTICIPATED in the camp regardless of what she is saying in the news report and it will be proven in our slander case. It is known to all consumers that you cannot participate in a camp and then ask for your money back because of "personal issues." I have records of her signing Abby into camp and she signed Abby out of camp. Her signature/initials are documented on the sign-in sheets. Finally, her attendance will be proven because we have photos of Abby and the celebrities that were taken at the camp. We are an acting camp and never claim to be a school, an agency or that we are Disney. She is simply lying because you can even visit our website and you will NOT see one advertisement for Disney. CAC has Disney and Nickelodeon Stars that teach the kids and one of our Disney celebrities is a n actor and director for Disney Channel...these are just the FACTS. Btw, our celebrities still work for Disney and Nickelodeon so if we were using their name illegally then there would be issues from Disney but guess what, there is not any because we don't use the Disney name. We have been upfront from day one of our existence...not to mention, we are called Celebrity Actors CAMP not academy but CAMP. Any CAMP you sign up for includes fees and we are no different. We are a high level acting camp program where our kids are taught by successful celebrities. For the record, an average acting class ranges from $40 to $60 an hour per class and I want to share that our average hourly rate is $65-$75 for our high level training and opportunities which includes 75 hours over 6 weeks but to be clear, we are an acting PROGRAM and not an acting CLASS. Our success rate speaks for itself and so do our parents. When our parents heard this "NEWS" report was going to air they flooded channel 9 news lines with phone calls to defend our name. If you listen closely to the end of the report Todd clearly says that CAC has several kids on National TV and MANY families called them expressing their happiness with the program. Keep in mind, this is one side of the story from a lady who and I quote, "is out to make our lives a living hell!!" It is impossible to have this many positive letters of appreciation and successful kids on TV if we were a "scam" company like reallyserious claims in her defamation blogs. We are a high level TV and Film program taught by Celebrities and have been in business for over 3 years...Marilyn, reallyserious and one other blogger are the only negative blogs/reports we have on the Internet which means we are doing something right in the 3 years of operation. Please read a parents message who defends the program and what CAC represents followed by several success stories from the camp which proves we are the real deal! Marilyn Jusino aka "reallyserious" will not ruin or end 3 years of success and hard work by our celebrities and industry professionals.
Please check out the recent press releases on a few of my campers successes:

Dear Sandra and Adrian,
We just wanted to let you know the exceptional service that was provided to us, as parents and for our ten- year- old daughter, Morgan at your Actor camp this past month. Morgan has learned so much in such a short period of time. We feel so fortunate to have been a part of this professional camp and it helped us out as parents learning about this business.
We felt that this program far exceeded our expectations and we know Morgan just fully enjoyed going to the camp each weekend. She told us the celebrity actors were very helpful and friendly. She raved about Adrian the whole time and told me that he’s a remarkable teacher and friend as well. Adrian, thank you for inviting the parents to see what our children are learning. We can definitely see your passion for these kids, it’s obvious! Morgan has more confidence in her ability and that is priceless for a parent.
Keep up the good work and thank you for providing such a wonderful opportunity for these kids. They gain such valuable lessons for their future in acting. Thank you, Sandra for providing such a nurturing atmosphere for our little ones. J Please thank Cassie, Phill, Chester, Jonathan, Cameron and Matthew Mitchell on our behalf.
Sincerely,
Kathryn and Marcos Rubert |

Celebrity Actors Camp changed our lives
AUTHOR: AnnieB - miami (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday February, 2011
I was actually on this site researching a different company when I ran across the negative comment posted about the Celebrity Actor's Camp and although I've never done this before I felt compelled to defend the Camp's good name.
My daughter recently completed the program in Miami, Florida and I must say, the program has changed our lives. Within 24 hours of completing the program she had been accepted by a Talent agency. Within 48 hours of completing the program she received her first audition- a taped read for a new Fox Pilot. Her next audition is this Thursday for a clothing store commercial and I am hoping the roller coaster ride does not stop anytime soon.
The Celebrity Actors Camp program consists of 8-10 all day acting workshops that take place on the weekends over the course of 8-9 weeks. Yes, it is expensive, HOWEVER, that being said when you break it down week by week, you get what you pay for. Where else can you find acting classes tailored to children being taught by actual working actors. Phill Lewis flew into Miami the same day he had been filming on "Raising Hope". You want acting classes taught by a nobody who's career never made it anywhere you can find them starting from $299.00. You want a class taught by working actors who are also caring individuals, who genuinely want to "fast track" your child's career, then Celebrity Actor's Camp is the way to go.
I mean, the casting director from Nickelodeon studios in Hollywood California actually knows my daughter's name, just that connection alone is PRICELESS.
During the course of the 9 weeks of training my daughters acting skills grew in leaps and bounds. Adrian R'Mante and his wonderful staff have perfected the process with training for Commercials, Sitcom TV, Drama TV, Film and Theater. They will teach your child the proper steps to "nail" an audition and as an added bonus, turn out a more confidant individual.
They are the "real deal". If your child has acting in their blood, then you should hope and wish and pray that they make the cut and get accepted into Celebrity Actors Camp. It could save you years of beating your head against the wall to get introduced to the right people.

More proof of our campers booking TV and Film jobs. Check out the movie trailer of one of our kids who will be starring in this Christmas movie coming out later this year!! The strength of our families will out weigh the one or two who try to defame and slander our credibility!! Read another letter just submitted to us from the mother of the camper in the movie, Justin!! Way to go Justin :-)
Hi Adrian!
I thought you'd enjoy seeing Justin's movie trailer. I just came across it today :o) It's going to be a super cute movie - can't wait to see it! We still don't know how or when it will be released. I love this!!! :o) http://vimeo.com/25778253
I hope you and Sandra are doing well! I have made some new friends from this year's Seattle camp and that has been fun for me. Hoping to meet them in person when I get to L.A. I am going down the 1st of August. July is crazy for us so we can't go down until then, but will be there for 5 weeks. Hoping to see you guys down there as well.
Justin is on hold for a Microsoft job that shoots next week - he is number one pick. We should get the official word this weekend or Monday! Yahoo!
