Actor Business Coaching and Career Expertise
Build Your Individual Roadmap To Success!
Obtaining Representation
The process of obtaining representation of any kind, be it commercial, theatrical, hosting or any other type, can be daunting. From the marketing effort to draw consideration to you, preparing for the initial meeting, and the details involved with the inception of the business relationship and beyond you will win with Kevin’s 30+ year expertise.
Pro-Active Pursuit
What does pursuing your acting career pro-actively even mean? The ActorMBA is not some cookie cutter program. Kevin consults with you, about you, regardless of your experience level or geographical city. BE and THINK different!
Career Strategy
To create the proper career strategy, in any industry, requires more than just a few common buzz words. With dozens of subjective options to building your acting career it’s imperative to consider many elements. Kevin customizes an actor success plan that considers all of your life, not just acting.
Expert Networking
Actor networking is far more complex and commonly mishandled. An actor can risk a professional industry connection with mediocre conversation skills. Kevin E. West has an unparalleled and documented history of insight and networking mastery.

Why should I work directly with Kevin?
When it comes to learning the business of acting, I am incredibly sincere, sensitive and quite direct. If you want to engage and work with someone who has not only been working IN Hollywood for over 3 decades as a performer, has done over 60 television shows++, who was also a Stand-up comic, paid Improv artist, has had 48 representatives, built an award-winning actors organization AND consulted over 1000 actors while building my own career then perhaps, I am for you. I offer a 100%, 30-day money-back guarantee.
The Program and Monthly option are so inexpensive…what’s the catch?
I’ve made it my mission to create an affordable program that’s accessible to a worldwide audience. I firmly believe that everyone who has a passion for acting should have the opportunity to pursue their dreams, regardless of their financial situation.
Can Kevin help if I’m the Parent of a child-young performer or I live in another country?
Yes. With years of experience in the industry, I can provide parents with the guidance and support they need to help their child thrive. One of my most cherished clients is the father of now highly sought after actress, Anne Winters.
How can Kevin assist me if I’m a veteran performer who just feels stuck?
For veteran actors who have taken a hiatus from the industry or are struggling to book jobs, restarting your career can be a daunting task. With years of experience in the industry, I understand the peaks and valleys that come with a career in acting.
