“Suzanne changed my life. She taught me everything.”

Carolyne Barry / Sena-Series™ Hosting Program – the only comprehensive hosting program in Los Angeles taught by successful, working hosts!

Led by Suzanne Sena, Emmy-nominated TV Host and creator of the Sena-Series Hosting Workshops and Teleprompter Training Techniques (www.senaseries.com) – this comprehensive hosting CAREER training program is like no other in the country. Whether you are an actor interested in supplementing your income with hosting opportunities or someone with a dream of being a working, full-time host – this program will prepare you for a multitude of opportunities.

In Hosting 1, participants receive hands-on, on-camera training with an overview of several genres of the hosting industry. With an emphasis on auditioning, this informative class focuses on hosting basics, but also explores a wide range of hosting career options.

Graduates of Hosting 1 can continue to advance their training in Hosting 2, which focuses on specialized skills like broadcasting, news, sports-casting and teleprompter training. Additionally, level 2 addresses career development: headshots, marketing, agents, websites, reels. Students who are interested in a specialized, tailored curriculum but cannot afford private training, can also enroll in Suzanne Sena’s Career Intensive.

Suzanne passes to her students a passion and dedication to the art of hosting. She’s like none other in this town.
Amy Rogg , Student and Host

After taking Level 1 and 2 of the Sena Series Hosting Workshop, I booked a travel road-trip show! I credit Suzanne Sena with this booking; if it weren’t for the ad-libbing, pacing, presence, and technical skills Suzanne Sena taught me, I would not have been prepared to audition for such a program.
Natalia Fedner, Student, Actress and Host

Suzanne is the perfect mix of coach, businesswoman and cheerleader for her students and is nothing short of amazing. Her teleprompter training was an added bonus and priceless. I respect her and I am thankful that I was lucky enought to train with her. Bottom line, if you want to be a host, you must train with Suzanne. 100% worth it. 
Keltie Colleen, Student, Choreographer and Host

After one week of finishing Suzanne’s hosting workshop, I booked a job as host of lifestyle show in a Walmart industrial. I booked this job due to everything I learned in Suzanne’s workshop.

“I have represented 57 academy award winners and there is not even one who could not have benefitted from the work of Suzanne Sena.”
Michael Levine –Hollywood Publicists and Best Selling Author

“Thank you so much for being such a wonderful teacher. I truly have learned much more about hosting and felt this our class was more of a private coaching session. My last hosting class had almost 40 students, so I appreciated the smaller size and attention we each received. … I truly looked forward to your classes and preparing for them- it was the highlight of my week.” “… such a positive experience”
Diane Yoo – Student

“…this class has been invaluable.”
