Tony Suriano is a working actor and director with over 80 film, TV, and commercial credits—and one of the rare coaches who sits on both sides of the audition room. He’s directed hundreds of actors, coached hundreds more, and built a reputation for knowing exactly what books and what doesn’t.

His career kicked off in 2012 after selling a self-produced spec commercial to Ahhmigo Greens for $7,500. That project opened the door to branded content, music videos, industrials, and award-winning narrative work like Man Obsessed.

Tony’s acting momentum took off after landing a role in Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman—a once-in-a-lifetime experience that led to 30+ paid film and commercial roles and gave him a rare vantage point into high-level performance.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Tony grew up watching giants at work. He observed on set with Joe Pesci, Jay Mohr, Erik Estrada, and learned from directors like John Leonetti (Annabelle) and Martin Scorsese (The Wolf of Wall Street). Those experiences shaped how he trains actors today—practical, precise, and deeply rooted in real-world filmmaking.

Across thousands of auditions and hundreds of actors, Tony has distilled the clearest, most effective strategies for standing out on camera. Everything he knows about what makes an audition bookable is inside this masterclass.
