I moved to Los Angeles when I was 40 to do TVI’s 5-Day Program. I found my agent through the course who booked me for the role of Stanley for 8 seasons on the TV series ‘The Office’ with Steve Carell.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS HOW SHOULD I DRESS? The dress code is professional, casual and comfortable. No beachwear, tank tops or shorts for men.
DO YOU PROVIDE HOUSING ACCOMMODATIONS? TVI suggests Airbnb.com as the most affordable housing choice.
DO YOU PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION? Uber and Lyft ride share services in Los Angeles are the most economical and consistent way to get around. Most often you can get a ride within 5 minutes. We highly suggest Lyft and Uber, especially for your nights out on the town. Renting from a car company is also convenient.

AS AN INTERNATIONAL ACTOR, DO I NEED A VISA TO ATTEND? For our 5-day immersion course, a tourist visa is all you will need for most countries. TVI has an in-house immigration advisor, who is an expert on Immigration and an immigration attorney.

5 DAY SUCCESS STORIES
“
My favorite thing about this program is how amazing the faculty are. I learned so much from the five-day program, had a blast and made great connections while doing so. If you have just made the move to LA or are considering it, I highly recommend that you start with this program to set yourself up for success. — LUC ROSENTHAL
The 5 Day Intensive, is something I would recommend to all actors. It was a week of learning, improving your skill, and interacting with a lot of awesome people directly in the industry. I came home with pages and pages of notes and tips and things I can use and continue to learn from for my whole acting career. Five stars for sure! Kansas City, MO
