“Extremely talented and knowledgeable.”
Jeffrey N Albert (Creator of Black Zone)
“I just had a self tape audition this week and was able to implement some of your tips and tricks! The results looked more polished and professional than anything I’ve previously submitted and I’m already feeling more confident in my ability to self tape going forward.”
Jack B. (Actor)

“Andrea Fantauzzi is the best! Helped me out major!”
Shelby D. (Actor)
“I have learned so much and am seriously excited to jump back into the acting world! You’ve given me what I need to make a solid game plan.”

“I just wanted to take a moment and express my gratitude to you! He has truly enjoyed and has learned so much from this class (Audition Lab – Coterie Theatre) that he will carry with him into future auditions. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent and knowledge this week.”
Anesa A. (Coterie Theatre Mom)
“I have been so hungry for next level training as an actor from someone with current experience from bigger markets, & especially on the business side, for an incredibly long time. I know what I’m capable of regardless of my zip code so I’m incredibly appreciative to have Andrea as a resource as long as she’s in the area.
My favorite part was learning in depth about how to go into a headshot session more prepared to set yourself up for success for the roles you’ll be submitting for. Along with an in depth look at how to structure your reel to sell your strengths the best you can as well as an in depth look at the acting website tools & how to make them work for you. I’m also very excited to put the guidance on representation outreach into play once all my tools are updated to the level of professionalism Andrea gives guidance on. Why let your zip code get in the way when self-taping is so much more widely accepted?!
Andrea is an amazing teacher. She’s really effective & you can tell she really enjoys it too. We just don’t have this information available to us right now locally until Andrea decided to teach. And, we’re lucky to have her as the one to disseminate it all as long as she’s able to. I feel so relieved to feel much more prepared to act on my talents outside of my current market while still living here. And I only hope that more local work is on the horizon which we’ll all be super prepared for after learning what Andrea has to teach. That way we make an amazing impression & more productions could be willing to cast locally.”
Jennifer S. (Actor)
“I’ve been working in the entertainment industry for 23 years. During that time I’ve worked primarily as a professional musician. Throughout many of those years I have also done a considerable amount of work as a print and commercial model and actor. I started my formal education for acting in high school and college and have since worked with an acting coach from time to time when certain projects require a more focused approach. However, I recently landed a more demanding acting role on a project that I’m very excited about but quickly realized that my professional profile i.e. headshots, and bio were not up to par with the current needs of the industry. I had seen some of Andrea’s work and professional platforms and was even fortunate enough to work with her on set. When I observed her level of professionalism not only on screen and online but also off screen I reached out to her for guidance. I quickly realized that her dedication to the study of the industry and her craft on and off screen made her an extremely qualified professional to help me get back on track. She gave me professional insights, and resources on how to properly approach headshots, bio’s and more.
Thank you Andrea for the invaluable education and guidance I received from you in helping me take the proper steps for reentering the industry like a true professional!”
