After many summer acting camps, school and community theater productions, and a strong passion for performing, Chandler had the opportunity to attend Talent, Inc. with Acting Out Studio when he was 11yrs. He prepared for many months with AOS working on his craft and honing his skills. Chandler loved his time at Talent Inc. attending the many classes offered to continue learning about acting in TV and Film. He especially loved performing his monologue, improv and film scene. Upon completion of the incredible workshops and all of the performances at Talent Inc, Chandler was awarded the Gold acting award in his age group. That evening was one we will never forget. It was such a wonderful honor to be amongst so many talented children and be recognized for his hard work and talent.
After many invitations to meet with talent agents and managers at Talent, Inc., we were soon on our way to Atlanta, New York and Los Angeles for follow up meetings. We developed a great team, decided to try out pilot season in LA and we ended up staying there! Chandler has been so fortunate to have incredible opportunities and has starred in two short films – Cold Embrace and Piano Lessons, tv shows like Shameless, S.W.A.T., Blackish, PEN15, Just My Luck, tv commercials and more. He also performed a live comedy routine at the famed Feinstein’s at Vitello’s in Studio City, CA. He is currently working in Toronto on a Warner Bros. feature film, 8-Bit Christmas, to be released later this year.
We are incredibly thankful for Acting Out Studio, Kamber Hejlik and Talent Inc. for helping us navigate this acting journey.
Dreams do come true!

Thank you to Acting Out Studio for the coaching and of course the amazing Talent Inc. Griffin has been working on The Week Of Adam Sandler’s new Netflix feature. He was cast as Jeddy and has had the good fortune to work alongside Adam, Chris Rock and Steve Buscemi — and too many other amazing cast members to even mention!! Recently just got to work with Ralph Macchio as his on-screen son in eight episodes of Cobra Kai with talks of expanding his role in upcoming seasons. If it weren’t for ACTING OUT and Talent Inc., Griffin may not have had this chance to live out his dream this summer. We have moved out of Charlotte and are back up in CT – right outside of NYC. I just wanted to thank you for encouraging Max and Griffin to do the Talent Inc. program and being a part of Acting Out Studio. As a parent, I am incredible grateful for his preparation by Kamber and his experience at Talent Inc.
If not for Acting Out Studio, my experience at Talent Inc. would not have been as successful or enjoyable! They are so helpful in preparation, expectation, and ability to put on a show. I am so excited to attend Acting Out class because I am fully able to be myself as well as pursue my passion. The staff is so friendly and supportive. They help you learn and improve your weaknesses all while validating your strengths. Acting Out is like a second home to me, and I wouldn’t think of the staff as anyone but family! I am extremely thankful for Kamber and the rest of the staff for helping me win Overall Female Actor at Talent Inc. as well as pursue my love for acting!
In August 2015 Max and Griffin participated in Talent Inc. We enrolled the boys in the Talent Inc. program though Kamber Hejlik’s Acting Out Studio in Charlotte, NC. Griffin, who won Overall Child Actor at Talent Inc., was signed by Osbrink Agency in Los Angeles and is now also represented by Carson Adler in NYC and managed by RSA Talent in LA. Talent Inc. literally changed Griffin’s life. The experience gave him the confidence to pursue his dreams. In addition to several roles in the southeast, Griffin has worked with Adam Sandler, Chris Rock and an amazing ensemble comedic cast in the upcoming Netflix movie The Week Of and recently just got to work with Ralph Macchio as his on-screen son in eight episodes of Cobra Kai with talks of expanding his role in upcoming seasons. Griffin is growing as an actor and continues to get positive feedback from casting and producers. In fact, Griffin has three auditions tomorrow. As a parent, I am incredible grateful for his preparation by Kamber and his experience at Talent Inc.
Brianna is a 14yr old who fell in love with the art of performing at the age of 9 after attending summer camp at Acting Out Studio. After three years of acting and improv classes, she attended Talent Inc in March 2016. She signed with AEFH in Los Angeles a short time after the event. In Aug 2016 Brianna and her family moved to Los Angeles, 5 days before she she landed her first role on Hulu’s, The Mindy Project where she played Mindy’s stepdaughter. She then went on to book Disney’s Ravens Home and Nickelodeon’s Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn. Most recently Brianna appeared in Netflix’s Best, Worst Weekend Ever and the hit show This is Us. Brianna has been cast in commercial spots for Orbeez, Nintendo, Walmart, Comcast, and Boost Mobile. Brianna was the VIP Guest at Talent Inc March 2019 where she shared her journey and how it all began at Acting Out Studio. We still can’t believe this is our life!
Years ago when we enrolled Brogan in acting classes we did so to help him build his self-confidence and strengthen his communication skills. Little did we know that Acting Out Studio would do so much more for him. The talented & caring instructors brought out a passion for the arts in Brogan that we couldn’t believe. He started in Acting I and over the years moved up to the Master Class and Improv, which he loves. The instructors are working actors and understand the business so he’s getting valuable technical training but most importantly, they make it fun! He’s attended classes with casting directors, professional actors, dialect coaches, voice over coaches & special effects makeup artists thanks to AOS! Brogan is also enrolled in voice lessons, which has also been an amazing experience. He has sung our National Anthem at most every amateur and pro sporting event in Charlotte including the Panthers! Because of the training and experiences he’s been afforded by AOS, we are proud to say our son is a working actor, an entertainer, a performer and is absolutely living his dream!
Brooke started with Evolution at the age of 6. She took acting classes with Kamber at Acting Out Studio before winning overall child actor at her first Talent Inc. showcase. With the help of Evolution Brooke spent two summers in New York City auditioning, taking acting classes, dance and voice lessons. At 12, she made the big move to Hollywood where she lives now. Brooke’s credits include Disney’s Austin and Ally as Maddie Ziegler’s sister, a recurring role on Mighty Med on Disney XD, Kickin’ It on Disney XD, a recurring role on Nickelodeon’s, The Thundermans, and recurring on ABC’s Modern Family. Her first job in Los Angeles that she booked was a Fox pilot called “The Gabriels” with Angela Kinsey and Rob Riggle. Brooke’s new music video “3 days” was released by Radio Disney.-
I am writing concerning any actors who want to pursue Acting Out Studio to gain fun, insight, awesome friends, and growth within yourself and as a team, especially if you get a chance to work the amazing EB and that is not the Easter Bunny! She has coached me from the beginning from the hardest auditions to bookings Including my latest one “Insidious: The Last Key” where I play young Christian. I so love my improv team and we just so EB. Love me Pierce. -Pierce Pope, AOS Student
Acting Out Studio helped make my daughter’s dream become a reality. Not only does she receive exceptional training from incredible talented teachers, she is provided opportunities to shoot for the stars and go for her dream. A little skeptical going in, Abby attended Talent Inc…it was the best decision we have ever made for her. She signed with 2 agents and a manger. She was on her way to living her dream. Thank you AOS and Talent Inc. for making Abby’s dreams come true. I highly recommend AOS & Talent Inc. to anyone looking for the best acting/modeling/voice training in NC and Talent Inc. for those who are ready to take it to the next level!
Ivan and I continue to be awed by the support and education we have both received from Acting Out Studio. Despite Ivan’s passion and aptitude for acting, we both agree that he would not be in LA right now without everything Acting Out Studio has gifted him with. The classes, workshops, coaching and “extras” like The Actees have been incredible. But even more important has been the emotional support and encouragement that everyone at AOS has generously provided. I’ll second Ivan’s statement that you genuinely care for your students beyond any mere business relationship. You’ve supported us through our beginnings in the acting industry and we will truly NEVER forget the role that everyone at AOS has played in helping Ivan pursue his acting career. Ivan often gets compliments about his preparedness and the tools he uses at auditions. Not only have you taught and prepared Ivan well but you have been an incredible source of support for me. You have prepped us both so well for the next stages of his adventures in acting and we’ve made some life-long friends with AOS and a few of the families we have met there. This is a crazy business but the education and support has helped us maintain our sanity and patience. Kamber, you are amazing and you have built an acting studio that reflects that. Simply expressing “thank you” does not come close to conveying our gratitude for the connections you made for Ivan and his LA meetings. Getting interest from all of the agents and managers we met with was almost overwhelming but gave us the confidence that we would be well-represented with any choice we made. The excellent respect you have earned with your contacts in LA were essential to us getting these meetings. No one else can take any credit for opening those doors to us. Ivan now has what we believe to be the best team of representation here in LA.
