I’ve booked roles in The Green Lantern, Drive, The Avengers, The Gangster Squad, and shows like JJ Abram’s new TV show airing on NBC… all since working with Coach Banks. You go to the gym for physical fitness ­­-- you take classes for acting fitness. Train properly with the best! Under Coach Banks’ watchful eye!”

“Since coming to CBSI, without any acting experience or training, I’ve been able to secure representation, book movie roles and I even landed the lead in a play -- in such a short amount of time! But more importantly, through CBSI, I’ve gained an invaluable confidence and perspective that’s ignited the fire to live the life of a true artist!”

–Eli Santana

“Just the fact of how much you give of yourself and your light is inspiring -- it speaks of your heart and dedication to your students. Thank you!”

–Linda Michaels

“CBSI truly shines through Coach Clay Banks himself. CBSI is a safe space where I can both become a better Actor and Human. After being a student for 2 years now, I leave each session experiencing consistent growth because I am pushed passed my limits. The training is REAL! With everything I do in my life, I never want anyone to NOT tell me the truth or give me things just to get by for my feeling's sake. Coach gives it to you real and straight up with grace, making you leave with greater inspiration and encouragement to be your best, authentic self. Acting isn't for everyone, but Coach knows very well how to break it down for ALL minds of ALL ages to understand, and to be ONE with this Craft. Coach Clay Banks gives his all, so that we can give our all! ”

–Gerald Castle

“Thank you Coach. Everything you've taught me is slowly stabilizing into my foundation. I feel strong and excited every time I enter the room. Now it's more like...."me, me, me, I wanna play!" :) You give me the confidence to create moments. Looking forward to setting up a callback private with you!”

–Danielle Argyros

“Coach Banks’ profound insights on work done in his Master Class have propelled me to hugely increased sensitivity to the craft of acting as well as increase my booking ratio. Coach Banks has helped me to lose the fear that was impeding my ability to audition well. I now walk in the casting room with powerful confidence!”

–Gloria Laino

“Clay Banks has been my coach for over 7 years now. He took me from a fresh-faced actor who had no clue what I was doing on camera and turned me into a craftsman of the art of film acting. He has instilled in me a process that allows me to respect the screenwriter’s work while understanding what performance elements directors are looking for at a professional level. You’re a hidden gem coach. And, now through A.C.T., the world will have a shot to work with you too!”

–Jack Stuart

“This past year, I was fortunate to be Taft Hartleyed and also landed a commercial agent, Lewis and Beal. Really looking forward to growing even more as an actor and creative being. Thank you CBSI!”

–Noel Kachaturian

“Using the skills I’ve learned while studying at CBSI has given me the ability to work on camera. I've landed agents, casting directors and ultimately, now work as an actor! I’m actually in Canada as we speak shooting a recurring role on an AMC show! Coach Banks coached me straight from the audition, to shooting on-set! Thanks Coach!”

–Joe Abraham

“I just recently got off set from shooting "Hell on Wheels." The camera was right up in my face in ECU shots and I want to thank you Coach for preparing me to handle those moments. Coach Banks helped me with the audition all the way through the booking and after that it was in God's hands -- along with everything I learned at CBSI. Thanks Again!”

–Collin Sutton

“I can honestly say that for the first time EVER I've been able to actually apply the training of an acting coach with marked results! I've worked with Clay in person, online in one-on-one sessions, and through the A.C.T. Program. Before taking the A.C.T. Course I wasn’t sure there was much more for me to learn from Coach, but BOY WAS I WRONG! This online acting program will actually shape and change you as an actor! If you’re serious about your acting in any capacity, this course will bring you the results you’re looking for!”

–Sammi Gullman

“I've been learning the craft with CBSI under Coach Banks and absorbing every shred of information he's given me. I went from living out of my car to booking THREE NATIONAL COMMERCIALS in the span of one month. This man literally changed my life and I owe him all the credit! You wanna work, go to CBSI. You don't have the money? Take what money you do have and invest in yourself at CBSI. I did, now I don't have to worry about $$$; which is the first time I can say that in twenty-seven years.”

–Laith Wallschleger

“There are so many acting methods and techniques which can seem quite a lot to take on when trying to put them into practice. However, Coach Banks helps you understand these methods by encouraging you to explore and find your own process. I have grown and developed so much as an aspiring actor from taking this course, I cannot recommend it enough! I have thoroughly enjoyed learning from Coach Banks! Coach, helps you not only to come on heaps and bounds with your acting abilities but inspires and helps you to grow as a person. Coach Instills more than just acting skill sets, but he shows you a better way of life. ”

–Amelia Smith

“Coach is my go-to guy before every audition. In a short amount of time working with him he has helped me book numerous roles for HBO, The CW, Columbia Pictures, and others! I cannot thank him enough!”
