Actors/Actor(Es)pañol Youth Academy is a forum for youth 5-17 and young adults 18-25 to train to act for TV and film in both English and Spanish. As the hispanic market has increased, so has the number of hispanic moviegoers. Hollywood, the industry, is going bilingual to ensure the market is represented. There are bilingualcommercials, more bilingual roles in English movies, increased bilingual roles on TV, and we are the academy creating the next generation of bilingual actors. Its motto, “Inspiring young people to be self-expressive with integrity.”
