What started out as a simple Facebook ad and our well, lets just try it attitude, turned into an amazing adventure that ended with our daughter auditioning in front of almost 20 agents at a National Showcase. We were very hesitant at first, like Im sure most of you reading this might feel, but with each step in the process our confidence grew. Our daughter has been dreaming of performing for ages but living in Montana, we didnt have a clue how to get started and not many resources closely available. Next Star opened up the doors for so many opportunities, many that we didnt even know existed. They helped walk us as parents through this process step by step and have made our daughter not only feel excited but comfortable and supported. On top of all of this, Nationals was FUN! From their dance party to meeting the stars to the awards Gala, I dont think any of us stopped smiling.We are so glad we took a leap of faith and we hope that this review will help other families that are considering Next. Our daughter has gone from trying out in our home town to getting call backs from 5 legitimate talent agencies. Thank you to EVERYONE at Next, youve outdone yourselves and we are so grateful for your drive, your vision, your patience and all the little details that you take care of that we dont even know about. Look out LA, here she comes.

My son was in Hawaiian Tropic pageants and California Pageants when he was younger. He just said to me one day “I miss it. I would like to give modeling a shot maybe even acting.” So I saw a window of opportunity when I say NextStart on Facebook and registered him. He was very nervous about the acting audition but did good at that the Chandler showcase, well he got a call back and was asked to join them at the National Showcase in Las Vegas, not knowing what to really expect both him and I were excited and nervous. Four days and a lot of personal time with the coaches and practice run ways and stage practice. Let’s say paid off after all he was so happy to learn that in the end he received three call backs from great agency that we are over the moon about working with. Thank you NextStar for giving kids a window to see their own potential as well as being noticed for being them. After being so unsure what we were getting ourselves into I would do it again in a heart beat.

Kimberly recently joined NEXT star Production family. And I can proudly say they’re the BEST talent scout out there! They treated us like family and helped us each step of the way. From regionals to nationals. If your little one is as excited as mine for modeling and acting I would definitely recommend starting with Next Star Production they will give you the training you need to be able to be represented one day by a L.A agent.Thank you NEXT!

When I originally saw an ad on Facebook for this Talent Showcase production company, I wasnt sure if this was the real deal or not.Two showcases later, and I not only know this company is the real deal, but they provide everything a performer needs to succeed in the Entertainment Industry. I cannot speak highly enough of this company - they work so hard to prepare children performers, their families, and adult performers for a limited opportunity career path. They care for their performers and their families, and it shows.Thank you NEXT! :)

Hello NEXT !I am very thankful for this opportunity you have given us and for taking your time to prepare us for showcase day.The Next team gave us everything we needed to succeed in our journey as aspiring actors and models. They were very attentive and were more than helpful if we had doubts about the process which helped making us feel comfortable and confident.I had an amazing time with this experience and I know that everything I have learned will open many doors for me in the industry as an actress.

Every step of the process with Next Star has been professional and organized. The communication is always there and any questions are always answered. I appreciate all that they have done to get us to where we are today and its nice to know they are still there if we should need them again. Thank you Next Star!!

We had a blast meeting new people and making new friends help build more confidence in speaking with more professional level and with adults thank you next team for helping during wonderful experience hope to continue this adventure to the next level in LA if chosen

One of the main things that I loved about my NEXT experience was how kind and welcoming everyone was. There was so much love and everyone was willing to help out and answer questions. To me that is a big thing because I am fairly new to everything and I had MANY questions.Overall I enjoyed the experience. No matter what happens. I had a great time and really appreciated this experience.THANK YOU NEXT TEAM!!!!!

My daughter had a great experience she is now signed to an acting agency right after the NEXT Star regionals showcase and was still able to attend the Nationals showcase in Las Vegas! Great experience and a great way to open doors for kids that want to pursue what they are passionate about. Would recommend 💫

I would like to thank Denise, Jeremy, Payton, Annabell, and the entire NEXT Star Productions team for an incredible, unforgettable experience! From Charlies first audition in June in Kalamazoo, MI to the International Showcase in L.A., we have been blown away by this whole process, and I think Charlie has been walking around with a permanent grin with the realization that hes now truly following his dream! As someone who has been involved with planning several events myself, the hard work that all of your team has put in to help put all of these talented performers on stage is definitely not overlooked! NEXT is first class! Denise and her team at NEXT really care about each performer, and its been very exciting to work with them and become part of the NEXT Star Productions family. Since weve been home, Charlie has already been asked to be an extra on a local TV show thats filming here in Kalamazoo (that turned into a bit role), has done voice over work for a locally-produced animated full-length movie, and was recently cast in a horror movie locally as well. We are excited to hear the results of the L.A. callbacks! Thank you, NEXT!

We first met the NEXT family at their Lakeland, Florida auditions, Orlando Showcase and now we have just experienced the National Showcase in Las Vegas, NV. Every visit has been absolutely AMAZING. Shout to Denises professionalism, Marisas guidance on each look, Jeremy for always keeping it fun and organized, Brian for capturing the most beautiful headshots, the Agents and Managers and all the behind the scenes that it takes to make these events happen. We are new to the business but our family knows with you in our corner we are all set. Thank you for this amazing opportunity that we would have never had without your guidance. We highly recommend your team for any aspiring entertainer! - Averee Rodriguez Family

This was my sons first experience doing something like this. The workshops were fun and educational. My son really enjoyed himself at the Orlando showcase. Definitely recommend.

We loved working with Next! They were so kind and helped my daughter with her dreams of becoming an actress one day. We are grateful for their help and direction in helping us learn this industry!

My daughter has wanted to act for quite some time now and I had no idea where to start what was required etc. Since weve been doing showcase for Next Star Productions it has been a wonderful experience and now Im more knowledgeable about the industry. Just being able for her to get a step closer to fulfilling her dreams is always a great feeling as a parent. Im praying for many more opportunities as we continue to gain experience through working with Next Star Productions.

The show case as well as the training leading up to it has been the most awesome experience. Very professional and organized. Walking into the showcase I noticed that everyone was greeted with a smile from the staff ; thats truly important because it sets the first impression. It show guest that the show will be presented in a professional and pleasing manner. I also think that having badges for the guest was an awesome security measure. Whether I was walking down the hall or in the restroom, I was able to see who was there for the show case and who was not. That gave me a sense of security. I was grateful to have a number badge as a performer. Being that this was my first time in a show case, I was so glad that I had a number to know where I belonged in the lineup, and directed when to walk to the stage for my performance. And last but not least you guys thought of every detail all the way down to children having a short attention span. I liked that they were in cue to perform first before the older kids and adults. If they would have had to wait, they would have become tired or talkative and they would not have been focused enough to remember their lines. Going first really helped them to excel and they were great. Thank you guys for all of your hard work and dedication, I give Are You Next 5 stars and highly recommend.

My experience with Next Star Productions was PHENOMENAL!!! I was given the opportunity to perform in Los Angeles and received training from amazing coaches! As a result, I received an agency callback and am currently preparing to launch my career.The staff gave detailed information and provided the workshops I needed to prepare me for the next phase of my journey to success. I couldn’t be more ecstatic with the outcome and what the future holds for me! Thank you so much Next Star Productions!!!

My daughter and I really loved this whole experience! It was better than what I expected. My daughter had a blast and is planning to pursue her career in this field. Our showcase took place a few days ago so it’s still too soon for any call backs. But whether she gets a call back or not she has plans to continue this route.All of the cost was given to us upfront so there were no surprises throughout the process. The staff was always polite and professional.We are praying to get an agency call back but even if we don’t we now know what she’s passionate about.I recommend next stat productivity.

Next Star Productions, was very professional and response was very quick.My daughter got involved with Next Star Productions about 8 mths ago and has been life changing for her!With pictures that Next Star Productions took my daughter was published twice in a magazine, my daughter also won in our city cutest kid trophy with the same pictures!My daughter has also won several awards and has been driven to complete a goal to succeed!We appreciate Next Star Productions!!!

Thank you for the amazing experience in the Next LA Showcase. I joined on a whim at the last audition in Cypress and am so glad I did! Thank you to Jeremy, Denise, Annabelle, Omar, Payton, Ally, and the entire staff for such a memorable event. To come right out of an acting class and do a showcase... I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect sequence of events!

We had an amazing experience with Next Productions!!! My daughter received a callback from an agent and we are looking forward to meeting with them soon. She showcased in New Orleans, la and had an absolute blast. The staff was so friendly and helpful to the parents as well. My daughter gained so much confidence and made a few new friends as well. We are looking forward to the showcase in Los Angelos soon!!! Thank you NEXT for the opportunity!!!

NEXT Star Productions are very professional agents. My daughter had great experience to go to another level of acting, singing, dancing and modelling. NEXT helped my daughter to improve her acting skills and bring out the best of her personality. NEXT opened the doors for the opportunity to move forward and grow to another level of acting. Highly recommend NEXT Star Productions, very professional agents, well organised and bring the best out of you to an international audience. Big thank you from Daniela & Emilia.

My daughter Alex performed at the Next Showcase in Dublin, she loved every second of this experience, the Next team were amazing in every aspect from start to finish with training and arranging photo shoots for her.The team were great at keeping in contact with arrangements for the training schedule and the showcase auditions and answered any questions we had.Very professional throughout.Alex came from the showcase with more confidence than ever.Would highly recommend the experience for anyone thinking of trying out with Next.

Love the environment and the way they make each person feel special! The set up of my first showcase truly made me feel like I was meant for the runway, and it truly opened my eyes to how much modeling and acting means to me!

From the get go Denise and her staff have been very informative about everything! As busy as they are, any questions or concerns you have, they respond so quickly. My daughter and I have had the best experience with Next, and being this is our first time ever trying this out, has been bittersweet. Thank you Next, Denise and Jeremy for everything. Your patience, your kindness and ability to just help these kids do their best and break out of their shell is more than us parents can ask for. Thanks to you guys, Lindsey has really opened up and has gotten better with her stage fright and gained more confidence. She is now competing in her local pageant and working her way to doing other things. We are excited for California this coming August. Can’t wait to see you guys again! Much love from the Petersons’.

NEXT has been so professional since the beginning. Thank you for the opportunity and my daughter and I can’t wait to go to LA!! This have been a great learning experience for my whose has no experience in acting. I can’t wait to see her name in lights and on the big screen!! CONGRATS to all the performers!!

I loved the opportunity that NEXT brought for me! They have given me such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I really appreciate you NEXT! I’m soooooo excited about my callback because my dream is getting so much closer to becoming a reality! Thanks NEXT!!!!!!

We’ve had an amazing experience. My son has learned so much. Looking forward to going to LA in August. Does it cost? Yes, but so does every other training in the world. Nothing is free. Looking forward to the future and how these trainings and experiences will help my son.

My daughter decided she wanted to audition with Next when they came to a city near us. It set her on a whole new journey. She is now signed with a local agent and got a callback from a NY/LA agency. She seems to have found her element. Thank you, Next Star Productions!

It has been both a learning and growing journey thus far. Its a very professional environment, weve met a lot of aeesawe people. Im looking forward to coming to LA!

This Production Company was amazing thanks again. This is my granddaughter, 13 yrs. old - Lil Ms. Nyjah Lynn Gibson# PastorJoyce Frye (my legal & corrected name)

ALMOST WENT TO LA BUT DIDNT HAVE MONEY TO STAY BUT THE HELPED ME IMPROVE A LOT I SEE THE DIFFERENCE

Wow, what a rip off. I paid a lot of money for a bunch of con artists to scam a bunch of children. They promise you such a professional experience but my 4 yr old granddaughter could have ran a more organized event.Started off by letting the children who Paid get the 1st call backs. Not by talent. Pushed your child to tryout for more categories only to charge them more money. Then the promised a professional photo shoot with a professional photographer. Very creepy men. Wow the pictures of my daughter were HORRIBLE. After they took them we sat a a table to view them. I told one lady I hated ours. They pressured me to buy them anyways. She made it sound like if we didn’t buy them my child would be picked . I left so mad so I emailed owner and after almost 3 wks I got a refund. I printed out our own.My daughter (age 14)never received any time on stage at any practices bc they were mixed with 4 yr olds!!! So she leaned how to walk by watching themteach everyone else.We as parents had to pay $20 per person to get in pls the cost of the outfits for the kids and ourselves.At the final call back she was so excited but lot of confusion and very unorganized mess. The showcase was supposed to be professional dress only. No blue jeans would be aloud but tons of people can in with jeans on.I asked for a refund or we would file a lawsuit along with 11 other families. Guess I’ll see them in court.

Well what can I say for Next Star Production, at first when they came to Dublin and we put our daughters name Dea down for the auditions, I wasnt sure and very secure as of thinking like they coming from LA, and why would they pick my child here when there is so many in USA but it turned out that not we only got a call back but they did an amazing workshop with the kids theu really made them stand out brilliant in front of the agents, Dea cnt wait for her trip to LA to work again with Jeremy and Denise so i just want to say THANK YOU !

Great team to be in, excellent personal

Great experience!!
