The private session- I would recommend to anyone interested in the field of acting. It was a much needed help that etched my career for the good. The advice was professional and straight forward. It also included a bunch of small inside pointers used by professional career actors, that I knew nothing of when I thought I did!!

-John Peeble



I highly recommend the acting classes for anyone looking to become the best actor they can be.

The NC Talent Source provides a professional place to learn professional techniques, that will in-turn help you become the best you can be. If you are serious about acting then you have to take a class!

Testimonials about Senior Booking Agent, Gwen Loiacono

From Patty Whitt Strader:
I have been booking great talent for over twenty years for film, television, commercials, videos, promotions and print and have worked with several booking agents here at Maultsby Model and Talent Agency/The Talent Source over these years.  There has never been a better senior booking agent for actors and models or a better friend than Gwen Loiacono.  Gwen truly cares about this entire business and each and every one of our actors and models.  She goes the extra mile every hour of every day here at the agency and training center.  We all adore her here and life would not be the same for me or our talent without “our Gwen”.  She takes care of all of our talent from calling them, emailing them, booking them, shooting headshots/body shots for them, updating website information, writing news letters, meeting with clients, talent and students.  She keeps me straight and organized when everything around me is going in a million directions and she is faithful to the end.  We are so blessed to have such a Godly woman and friend here with us every day <><.

Where on earth do I start.  Both of you ladies are such an inspiration.  I am priveleged to be part of Maultsby.

Gwen is awesome.  She has become a good friend via phone and e-mail.  She truly cares for us as well as you, Patty.  I have been with other agencies and I felt like a nothing and that I did not matter.  Gwen has a tone in her voice that sets everything in place.  She is a wonderful mother and a strong woman of faith.  She is my hero!  Please do not let her get away for any reason!!!!  Love her to pieces!

Gwen is phenomenal! We love working with her. If I ever have a question, Gwen either knows the answer right on the spot or knows where to find it. She is amazing at following up with us. I can't tell you the number of times I have either called or e-mailed her a question and she has responded within minutes! When we have gone on audtions, even the staff at the casting offices speak very highly of her. She has obviously worked hard to know her craft and it shows in everything she does. It is very reassuring to know that we are working alongside someone who is so efficient and personable. She sets the bar higher for everyone else who works in this industry. We can't inagine cultivating Jack and Caitlyn's careers without her help.

"The New Talent Workshop II has been very informative and positive.  The techniques given to the talent were lifetime skills that will follow them throughout their acting career as well as life.  I found Gwen and Patty to be very approachable and eager to pass on their suggestions that will be effective in molding the talent to be the very best they can be."

I am a talent manager for one client only. We recently attended the Acting and Auditioning Essentials Seminar at Maultsby Model and Talent Agency. The seminar was conducted by renowned consulting casting director Phil Newsome.

Anyone currently in the film industry who is aspiring to become an actor or actress should consider his one-day workshop an absolute essential course as you prepare for your professional career.

Phil does a remarkable job condensing a six-week course into a one day seminar. Some of the things he will cover will be improving voice, communication and diction skills, as well as touching all the facets of delivering a successful audition including etiquette, cold read techniques, culminating in I work on a commercial and monologue.

I found his work session to be absolutely extraordinary and invaluable to my client.

Don’t miss this informative workshop!
