Coach Mike is spot on and a great mentor. He knows this industry very well and the knowledge just flows out during each session. Its a blessing to have been referred to his class. Its a great start to not only commercial training, but a career in acting in general!

Mike is such a passionate instructor! You can tell he loves what he does and he is an expert at it! I like that all our exercises are in front of a camera. I am so comfortable now that in my other classes I dont even pay it any attention. He even has monthly agent showcases where 3 top level agents come and watch the students perform a piece and potentially get representation! Its an awesome experience.Mike makes himself available to his students when they need him and that is what makes him an excellent instructor. Hes more than a teacher, hes a coach and a mentor and will not steer you wrong.

Mike came highly recommended to me by a friend who is a professional commercial actor. I took Mike’s class knowing absolutely NOTHING over 10 years ago. I had no agent and no bookings. I took Level 1 and 2 which had a huge impact on my confidence and readiness for audition success. I directly credit this class for the success I’ve had as a commercial actor.Since then my husband and kids have caught the bug and needed some training, so we all took Mike’s Level 1 class together. My husband noticed that he wasn’t nervous by Week 3 - that was huge! Our kids loved it and Mike was very patient and accommodating for our 7 and 9 year old. This class will definitely help you work through the jitters and nerves that can cost you dearly at an audition and callback.The negative reviews here are almost comical! We have never had any issues with Mike in all the years I’ve worked with him. He offers one of the most informative and thorough commercial workshops in LA that teaches the acting and practical business side of the commercial industry. FIVE STARS for Hey I Saw Your Commercial!

Great teacher! I love taking his classes and he keeps his actors updated on whats going on in the industry currently

Mike Pointer is the best acting coach Ive had in LA. He will teach you everything you need to get going on your acting goals, with tons and tons of information and advice he gives. His class is very motivating. I gained a lot of confidence in my acting and myself in his classes!

Coach Mike is amazing. He is so helpful not just with acting techniques, but has an amazing, positive outlook on life. He truly is a light in the city of LA. He is one of the only coaches out there that really cares about their clients on a personal level. He is a kind hearted and knowledgeable coach. If you truly go all in with his course, you will see results. God bless coach Mike!

I took coach Mikes class 5 years ago. I realize now that I had put the cart before the horse and was not focused enough to succeed.I just re-enrolled and listened this time. Coach Mike is an intuitive, empathetic, energetic, and caring HUMAN BEING equipped with every technique possible.Im so happy just to hear his words of deep knowledge and wisdom. He speaks the language of the heart!

Coach Mike is the man! He is a great coach, mentor, and teacher! I appreciate all of the information he shares. Some of the best exercises and lessons learned in my close to 10 years working professionally as an actor. Very helpful for commercial projects (booked 3 back to back to back after completing Level 2) and also useful when I audition for tv/film projects. God Bless HISYC and Coach Mike. If you are looking for a place to grow and build confidence and learn skills then you have found it!

I absolutely adore coach mike . this class taught me so much in the Hollywood industry and about myself just as a young woman in this world. He is wise beyond years and so talented ! Worth every single penny. Lots on on camera practice and cold copy reading on camera and even a few improv situations all on camera all tying into commercial auditions and the commercial industry process. From a to z coach mike is the coach to invest in for your and your childs future commercial career.

I was referred to Coach Mike whos very professional and passionate about his work. What I can say is he pushes his clients pass their fears of auditioning in front of the camera, builds your confidence level, give support, give very helpful materials and showcase your talent to talent agents. His classes are gear toward camera readiness, booking and success! To me Coach Mike is one of thee best in the entertainment industry to teach you the ropes to booking a commercial!

I took my first class with Coach Mike in 2013. It was the best decision I could have made to help me launch my career as an actor. I took level 1 and level 2 and have gone on to become a VIP member.After graduating level 2, I booked a commercial a month for six months straight! I am now working mostly on film and television, but I still attend my monthly VIP class with Coach Mike.I have referred over a dozen actors to train with Coach Mike.If you are new to acting, this is a GREAT place to start. If you are a seasoned actor, but your career is not as far along as youd like, Coach Mike offers all the tools you will need to get your career moving.The rest is up to you!Thank You Coach Mike, for being my continued mentor along this journey. You are the BEST!!!Forever,Amber Wegner

This is a scam. This guy creates fake talent agencies and lures unknowing actors in to take his class through suggestive emails from these agents. Just read RIP Off report. This was my personal experience with him and his class. Stay away.

This school is the most ideal school to check out if you want to get into the acting business. Coach Mike makes the class fun while incorporating scene study and various activities we perform amongst one another. And the best part is, you get to hear about top - secret, highly classified information that every potential actor trying to break into the industry is dying find out!

I am so grateful for Coach Mike! I was new and had no idea where to start. Not only did he teach us skills but also included the business aspect of the commercial industry. What really sold me was the Playbook and dvd sets. I took level 1, 2, and became a VIP Memeber.

This isnt a scam but it isnt the opportunity that it is made out to be. He tells you some good things but they are things that are just common sense things. good place for the most beginning of actors but other than that, you dont need it.

After I went to his “free class” (because he didn’t gave me the $25 holding fee back) but I was like, that’s ok I didn’t asked for it and let it pass. But 2 weeks later for my surprise. He took about 200 dolars unauthorized from my credit card. I was thinking about going to his classes but after that scam I wanna stay away from it, and I recommend if anybody is going to his classes and is gonna pay him anything. Use cash, because he charges your credit card whenever he feels like it and how much he feels like it! So I personally don’t want to deal with somebody like that. Stay away folks! It’s a biiig No from me!

A true teacher and mentor his class offers more than information inspiration, courage, and confidence.Please dont be deterred if your a serious actor pursuing a career this is the go to class.

Hey I saw your commerical really is a good class to take. Yesterday was my last day (its a 4 week class) and at first I was like ehh idk if Ill like this class but this is probably the only coach I know that has answered every single question I had . Most coaches I been to dont help out the way coach mike does. Hes really informative and gave me the tools and techniques I need in order to have a successful audition. I was really happy with the way his class is and how helpful he is. I cant stress enough how much new stuff I learned that no one else has told me before the 2 years I been living in La. I would 100% recommend this class!

Coach Mike is a true class act! Went all the way to VIP level & I highly recommend HISYC! This is the place to go if you want to get an edge & take your acting career in the right direction!

Started meeting with top agents the 2nd week I moved to LA from TX thanks to Mikes marketing strategies. Hes a wealth of knowledge and someone you want on your team to help guide you.

Mike teaches and informs students of how to improve their chances for auditions.

Very professional and gives great advice.

Coach Mike rocks!
