Our Valley Santa Clarita September/October 2016 | Page 27

s s s Skylar Kent M the instructors are absolutely amazing people and the talent they have to share with the community is out of the ordinary. y name is Skylar Kent and my life time dream has been to be a working actor and singer. It was at the age of 12 that I realized that I could do this for a living and get paid for doing something I loved. My career started in Amarillo, Texas with a local theater company who provided training and opportunities to perform in front of people. My family and I moved to Santa Clarita Valley from Texas in January of 2016 to give me the opportunity to pursue my dreams, shortly thereafter I enrolled in classes at SCSOPA. Within a month of enrollment I was signed with a print agent and a month later signed with Rascals Agency. After some patience and many classes I received an opportunity to audition for a Lifetime Movie Network project for which I was offered a supporting role. Other auditions have come my way and I look forward to many more opportunities in the business. SCSOPA is an amazing school where your dreams can come true, Mr. Mike and I received so much more than I ever thought I would get from attending SCSOPA. There are numerous classes to choose from such as Voice Over, Private Voice, Monologue, Scene Study, Dance, and Modeling providing me an opportunity to improve my talent as I learn from the some of the best teachers around. The school has an added value of giving us students an opportunity to audition for agents and managers who come into the school each and every Saturday. If you are serious about a career in acting, singing or modeling you can’t pick a better place to go to school.
