AHA
ACTORS HELPING ACTORS
Welcome
to AHA!
So glad you paid us a visit!
We are an actor support company, which means we work closely with actors focusing on Custom On-Camera & Musical Theatre Reels, Voice Over Demos, Actor Websites, Actor/Business Coaching and more!
Our goal is to make these tools affordable for EVERY actor, not just the ones who have large bank accounts. We strive to offer the most professional actor tools around for only a portion of the price, when compared to every other major studio.
​
We have worked closely with top agents and managers to make sure we are hitting the professional bar that is expected in today's market.
We also employ professional actors in all of our departments so when you shop with us you are supporting actors like yourselves while they are waiting for their next gig.

Judith
UNDERCOVER BOSS
Judith is the real boss at Actors Helping Actors. She makes sure all sessions run smoothly and stay on schedule. You may think she is scared of all noises (like trucks, rain, and the color grey), but you would be wrong. She is just making sure our staff and clients are feeling creatively fulfilled and happy. If you book a session with us you may very well see her snoozing, borking, or snacking.
