"You get to coach and tape with someone who knows what it is to be a series regular and lead, and what it takes to book those parts. He's a coach who will push you, and not just let you get away with 'polished acting.'"

Artin John

Actor

"I could feel his warmth as an instructor and his passion as an artist from the moment we began the semester. He found ways to engage us, challenge our way of thinking, and foster our individual skills while unifying us as a group. He is, and always will be, a gift to his students."

"Patrick Sabongui is more than just an educator — he is a visionary leader who builds programs, cultivates community, and empowers individuals. He doesn't just teach you how to act; he teaches you how to be."

"He is an unbelievable person to have in your corner, and he manages to be in everyone's corner. He coached me remotely while on set filming his own projects because he believed in me enough to make it work."

"From day one, Patrick has always been a motivator — even when I didn't know I needed motivation. He was able to quickly gain my trust in the most natural, humanly spiritual way possible. Under his guidance I signed with a manager and booked my first professional role."

Ebenezer Adjei

"He coined our program's tagline, 'Be Yourself: Professionally.' He does this each day, bringing his endless energy, sense of humor, and empathy to every room he enters."
