What sets Viya apart, is We lead with honesty and integrity, providing real guidance and transparent feedback so families and talent always know what to expect. No gimmicks, no false promises โ just the truth about what it takes to succeed.
Training at Viya is hands-on and in-person, allowing talent to build confidence through real-time feedback and practical experience. Along the way, we provide professional tools like demo reels, headshots, and portfolios โ the essential products casting directors and agencies look for.
And while we teach acting and modeling skills, we also focus on confidence, self-esteem, and life skills โ qualities that make a difference in auditions and in life.
Talent has access to lifetime training โ because growth doesnโt stop after one program. As the industry changes, our coaching evolves, giving talent a place to return, refresh, and refine their craft at any stage.
Our approach goes beyond just training - we help get you casted in local opportunities to build experience while also guiding talent toward representation outside the local market, creating multiple paths for career growth.
We welcome talent of all ages, from kids just starting out to adults ready for a new chapter, and meet them exactly where they are in their journey.
At Viya Model & Acting Academy, we donโt just train models and actors โ we shape confident, driven individuals ready to own any stage, screen, or opportunity life puts in front of them. Through expert industry coaching and powerful life skills, we help you stand out for your talent, your presence, and the unshakable confidence youโll carry everywhere.
