I'm not surprised he books about a dozen a commercials a year for the past many, many years! I HIGHLY recommend Eric as he's both incredible as a coach and an upstanding human being who is very principled and that I trust so much.

Eric is my go to resource whenever I need to make a major decision related to professional acting…read more He's been in the business for over a decade and is a very successful working actor both commercially and theatrically. Well connected, wise, generous and practical with all of his advice -- I trust him implicitly. As a successful entrepreneur and business woman who recently returned to acting in my 40's -- I realize how extremely competitive this business is and how important it is to do everything within your control to stack the odds in your favor. That for me means the best classes/coaches, professional tools (headshot, reel, etc) and professional self-tapes. Eric is a master actor and a self-tape pro. He has great ideas on how to set-up the scene; helps rehearse sides until you're comfortable; he's an excellent reader who is fun to act with; and has top-of-the-line camera, sound and lighting equipment, which results in high-quality tapes you'll be confident and proud to submit. Best of all, Eric is fully dedicated and present. He will take his time with you. You will never feel uncomfortable or rushed. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned actor -- Eric is an amazing partner who knows what it takes to be successful in Hollywood. He will help build your confidence and your bottom-line by improving your results. I can confidently say I would not be where I am (fully repped and booking) in just a year without his support. Thank you, Eric!

I've taken and audited many acting classes since I've come to LA, and nothing is quite like Shaan…read moreSharma's studio. I came out here 12 years ago and struggled to find the balance of income and pursuing my passion without the support of mentorship or a community of actors around me. This studio isn't just a classroom, it really is a family. Aside from the invaluable experience Shaan invests into his students in a personal and genuine way (himself a working actor and session director for LA casting directors), he has also somehow magically created a culture of students who are as passionate about pouring into each others careers as their own. With this combo of real-life expertise and generous community, I feel I can finally take on this crazy - often daunting - adventure that I've sacrificed so much for. If you haven't chosen an acting studio/class yet- I highly recommend you audit this one!

Oh My Bobby!... I was in a panic to get an audition in - that my agents sent me last minute as…read morealways. It was a ton of dialogue, large role in a major film - I would need someone to read with me, that could keep up and could trust to not get in my way and yet still make everything look great. That's where 5th Street Studio came in and the this guy Bobby... JUST WOW!... So kind, so helpful and stayed right there with me. He's smart and friendly and patient and professional all the way. I was super relieved and very happy - and I even asked him for a little feed back and felt he was right on point. I was in and out in no time. The tape look great and my managers and agents, loved the way it looked and sounded. So, now I know I have a place to go in this world of Self Tapes Auditions. Thanks Bobby and 5th Street Studios. :)

Extremely disappointed with them. I tried and tried to set up an appointment that would work with…read moremy son's school schedule and had already paid for the session. It didn't work out so I decided to wait until summer, now that summer is here they told me my payment expired and I have to repay for the session. What a crock! Here, just keep my money for doing absolutely nothing, forget it. I'm out. So absurd. Don't waste your time. Edited to add I did send one final email and they gave me three new impossible dates/times to adhere to... so that was kinda nice. They know my son is in school so there was no way I could Make said appointments... but I bumped them up a star anyway ‍

Customer Service: Knowledgable, quick to respond, professional, and flexible. Kevin Hearst spent a considerable amount of time making sure that his system would work with ours. He tested the system extensively, and when it arrived it was as close to a "plug and play" experience as you can expect. Gear: We had a lot of trouble finding certain components (MADI I/O) locally...and nationally. The Digital Difference clearly has a large inventory. Everything sent was in great condition. As I said, Kevin tested everything beforehand to ensure it all worked. Shipping: Everything was packed properly, and in such a way that it was easy to return. The packing slip even itemized which box each cable came from- very handy when packing in a hurry. The Dig Diff made sure everything arrived on time, and went through the effort of finding the most affordable shipping rates. The whole process was easy. Pricing: This was huge for us. We received quotes from a few local distributors to avoid shipping. Even if they HAD the equipment I needed, it would have ended up costing the same. Maybe there's just less competition in CO? It's definitely worth getting a quote from Dig Diff, even if you already have another company in mind. In summary, this is a viable solution for out-of-state recording projects. Of all the logistical elements needed to make this happen, renting equipment from The Digital Difference was by far the easiest.
