Thank you for your interest in Julie Nation Academy

We have been in business for 38 years, serving agents and employers with qualified models and actors, many of whom have been highly successful. Our talent currently is on national television shows such as America's Next Top Model and The Young and the Restless, where one of our children's Television Acting graduates was cast in an ongoing role. Others have recently been cast in national and local commercials with clients like Chevrolet and Pepsi. Models of all ages are placed in print work for clients such as Macy's, Kodak, Microsoft and Mademoiselle Magazine, just to name a few.

Our educational services are very valuable to students from four years old to senior citizens. We take pride in providing the highest quality of small classes and workshops to accelerate the placement of confident, skilled and knowledgeable graduates. Agency workshops are included for parents, spouses and family members to further the understanding of how agents and clients work in this dynamic industry.

At Julie Nation Academy, we believe strongly in building confidence, self-esteem and the importance of having a self-chosen value system that supports a child, teen and adult to grow personally and professionally. Agents express great appreciation of this aspect.

Entering the advertising, entertainment and fashion fields can be a fabulous experience. It can also be a challenge to an individual's worth and identity. We at Julie Nation Academy are dedicated to producing leaders who are successful in their career paths, and as people.

Our door is open for you to visit free of charge for a first-time consultation of one half-hour. If your interest is in modeling, TV and film acting or voice-overs, we will evaluate your potential.

WE ASPIRE TO LIVE THE WORDS AND MEANING BEHIND THE NELSON MANDELA'S 1994 INAUGURAL SPEECH, QUOTING AUTHOR MARIANNE WILLIAMSON:

'OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS NOT THAT WE ARE INADEQUATE. OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT WE ARE POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE. IT IS OUR LIGHT, NOT OUR DARKNESS THAT MOST FRIGHTENS US. WE ASK OURSELVES, WHO AM I TO BE BRILLIANT, GORGEOUS, TALENTED, FABULOUS?

ACTUALLY, WHO ARE YOU NOT TO BE?
YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. YOUR PLAYING SMALL DOES NOT SERVE THE WORLD, WE ARE ALL LIKE FINE LOOSE DIAMONDS. THERE IS NOTHING ENLIGHTENED ABOUT SHRINKING SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE WON'T FEEL INSECURE AROUND YOU.

WE WERE BORN TO MAKE MANIFEST THE GLORY OF GOD THAT IS WITHIN US. IT IS NOT JUST IN SOME OF US, IT IS IN EVERYONE.

AND AS WE LET OUR OWN LIGHT SHINE, WE UNCONSCIOUSLY GIVE OTHER PEOPLE PERMISSION TO DO THE SAME.

AS WE ARE LIBERATED FROM OUR OWN FEAR, OUR PRESENCE AUTOMATICALLY LIBERATES OTHERS LIKE FLOWERS IN THE WIND.'
