Ready to future-proof your kid’s acting career? 

In this episode of Acting Smarter Now, I’m sitting down with Annie Semenova, powerhouse creator of Unity, an online acting school that’s shaking up how kids and teens train for Hollywood and the age of AI.
Unity isn’t just “another acting class.”
It’s a global training ground for young performers who want to become:
Confident storytellers
Compassionate leaders
Smart, tech-savvy creators
With working-actor teachers from shows like Shameless, Abbott Elementary, and Jane the Virgin, Unity gives kids insider-level training and real-world skills—empathy, creativity, leadership, and the ability to think for themselves in a fast-changing, AI-driven world.
They’re not just running scenes…
They’re writing, acting in, and creating their own short films.
Annie opens up about:
Her journey as a mom helping her daughter navigate the industry
The emotional and practical challenges parents face
How Unity helps young actors stand in their power, own their uniqueness, and use technology as a tool—not a threat
If you’re a parent who wants your child to:
 Express themselves boldly
Build real confidence (on and off camera)
Be ready for an entertainment industry transformed by AI
…then this conversation is absolutely for you.
