CPR Combines Cutting Edge Talent Success Strategies with Biblical Wisdom Which Help You Rise and Shine As An Actor, Model, Singer, or Dancer...While Keeping Your Faith FIRST

How Many Of These Christian + Performer Questions Do YOU Have?

Are Christians really called to the world of entertainment?

My church says it's too dark, but I still feel called. Is it safe? Can my family be involved?

What if I'm asked to wear, say or do something I'm not comfortable with?

I'm a Christian parent. What's MY role, if my child/teen has an obvious calling?

How do I get agents and casting directors to respect my values without ruining my chances?

I've got some experience, but things have stalled. What do I need? How can I level up?

Regarding pictures: What do I actually need, and how do I get it for a reasonable price?

How do I compete against all the other talented performers in the industry? What if I'm not as good?

What’s the best way to get started? Should I wait until I have more experience?

Am I too young? Too old? Too new? Too ______? (insert your biggest doubt or fear)

Do I have to move to a big city to get national work?

How do I know if an agent, manager, record label, casting director, or coach is legit?

What if I invest time/money but still don’t succeed?

How do I get seen by the RIGHT industry decision-makers who can help me?

The internet offers MILLIONS of "answers" about how to start/rise as a performer...
But how do you know if the answers are true or wise?
And how long did it take you to find them?

Your
time is valuable, right?

What if a misleading answer...
... puts you on the wrong path?
... surrounds you with the wrong people?
... stops your progress?
kills your dreams?

You Feel You Were BORN To Perform

And You Feel It All The Time...

It doesn't matter how old you are. Where you live. What you look like. You know that you know. God is calling you to be a performer on a bigger stage in a bigger way. But...

Is It possible to live your dream without compromise?

Because you’ve seen a lot of C-R-A-Z-Y talented stars who seem to show the wrong priorities. Can you become an entertainer and maintain your focus on doing good and living right?

We get it! You're wise to be aware. BUT... God says to follow your calling– bravely and boldly.

He's your Front-Guard, Rear-Guard, and Side-Guard. With Him, nothing is impossible! (BTW: He's already on the field with Christian Stars rising NOW!)

He says your mission field is the world. He gave you talents for a reason. So what do you do with them?

You perform!
You multiply your talents!

“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 10:16).

Want to hear what CPR is like straight from some of our Grads?

The Shine team, led by Carey Lewis, has been working with performers for over 45 years! Here's what a few of them have to say...

Marissa got a miraculous second chance at life and decided to follow her heart and do more of the performing she loved! Watch the video to hear her story.

“I’ve always had a desire to entertain, but I never thought I could actually serve God and work in the industry.

Shine not only taught me how untrue that thought was– but how to fulfill my dreams and to continue to glorify God!”

– Billy, Actor & Singer

“I now feel confident to let my light shine.

Shine equipped me with knowledge of the industry and the biblical tools I need to navigate through it.”


Shara, Actress

“It would have taken me 10 years to get to where I am now because of Shine.”

– Nicci, Comedian

“The whole thing from beginning to end was Christ-centered.

Our experience with Shine was incredible. My son … really blossomed, not just in his performance, but in his spiritual life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

– Christina, Mom of Singer/Actor Isaiah

“From Shine, I’ve learned so much about myself and about the entertainment industry.

Because of Shine, I’ve booked work as a voice-over artist, been in stage plays, TV shows, recorded, had great artist development, and the industry connections are amazing.”

– Grace, Actor & Singer

“Shine helped me realize I wasn't being selfish or vain...

for wanting to be an actress. I know now, without a doubt, that it was God who called me to this industry.”

Amy, Actress

“Hi! I’m Carey Lewis! I’m excited to be your guide on this journey…”

I'm the middle of a 3-generation family business. Three ladies (my super-model mom, my New York photographer daughter— and I) have been in the talent industry for over 7 decades: scouting, developing, and launching new stars in all realms of entertainment.

From standing on local stages to headlining on Broadway; from hoofing it as movie extras to booking starring roles; from dressing up in mirrors to modeling for designers; from following celebrities to becoming influencers themselves—positive role models for eager fans.

Success may seem like a mystery. But it’s not! It’s a time-proven formula I’m delighted to share. I love helping people shine! It’s my mission and life’s work. Our Shine Team is a careful collaboration of wonderful coaches, excellent VIP’s and intelligent artists.

Together we get it– and we get YOU. Your dreams are important to us, because through the fulfillment of God-given dreams, our world changes for the better. We’re dedicated to helping you reach your highest potential as a performer.

How? Specifically, it’s a combination of industry-savvy preparation, tons of experience, and proven connections— all done in a close-knit, faith-based community.

Want to Enter Entertainment?

Industry Leaders Want You To Know This First

“If you are called to perform, then you're obligated to develop your talent
so that you are excellent. I don’t like to see people who say they’re called but don't work at it. You better put 100% effort into developing those God-given talents and skills. That's what Shine helps you do.”

Nise Davies, Faith-Based Casting Director and Producer

“The only way to impact culture for God
in a positive way is to be in it you know and to be a part of it, and ultimately I believe that a small light in a dark place can light a whole room.

I’ve been affiliated with Shine for over 15 years. Carey and her team are people of integrity. They genuinely love the performers they seek to serve. I trust them, and you should too.”

Blaine Barcus, Vice President of A&R, Provident Label Group / Sony Music Entertainment

“Understanding who God made YOU to be is so pivotal
and is absolutely vital to your chances of flourishing in this industry. Without ‘rootfulness’ there is no ‘fruitfulness.' Shine started my career, and I wouldn't be where I am today without the guidance and contacts I received."

Austen Williams, Mrs. America 2014, Speaker & Host

What Makes “Christian Performer Readiness” Different Than Other Talent Development Programs, Classes Or Events? 

Aspiring performers want to get on the fields of entertainment— but some have tried and failed. The people and programs they trusted were too worldly, too expensive… or they just didn’t help.

The short answer of what makes
Shine by Carey Lewis different…

...is its founder's decades of success in mainstream media. Her late-in-life commitment to Christ. It’s a total “never happened before” package. Plus, the Shine team around Carey is diversely talented and expert in raising performers to their fullest potential– furthering faith, maintaining values, and refining talent and personal brands.

What other international talent development company works like Shine, with top-level VIP endorsements and countless success stories? Not one (that we know of).

Want to check out some of Shine’s Stars? Click here…

"Experts at Shine truly care about you and your walk with God.

They want to get to know you both professionally and personally. You will have many opportunities to talk with them on Zoom!

Carey is clearly SO passionate about empowering you as an ambassador for Christ – growing in your love for Him and shining His light to others. I also love that Carey is unafraid to call out important issues in the church. I'm so inspired by her words to pursue God's calling!"

Helen Su, Actress

When You Join Shine,
You Join a Family

We are Shine, a community founded by Carey Lewis, of like-minded performers and respected industry professionals. #Shiners.

We lift as you climb. We comfort you when you fall. We share news and Good News. We love those who are different. We thrive. We don’t give up even when the audition grind is hard. We are doing what we love. We are doing what we are called to do: perform.

What Do A Few Of Our Shine Stars Say?

"I thought, 'This isn’t real. It's not possible!

People don’t actually want to perform for Christ. I’m a novelty!' When I found Shine, I was literally in tears because I'm thinking, 'how is it possible that I’ve found my people?'"

Lyndsay Ricketson, Singer & Actor
Musical Theatre Star

"I definitely needed to be 'Shined.'

And melded. And clipped here and there. To people who say, 'Why is this taking so long?' It's not an overnight process. I had a waiting process and a growing process."

Ser’Darius Blain, Actor & Writer, Star of Jumanji & Fox's The Big Leap

"The Bible always talks about using your talents...

You may be a great actor on the surface who has good instincts, but if you don’t develop it, you won't go anywhere. That's what Shine gives you."

Ben Davies, Actor, Producer & Presenter
Star of Courageous

What will it feel like when you enter a vibrant community of talented believers like you?

When you join Christian Performer Readiness, you unite with a creative and fun group of actors, singers, dancers, models and creatives of all ages– who share your goals and your faith. It's an incredible feeling to find your people!

Here's what it means to some of our Shiners...

“It’s definitely a family.

You're there with other people who have the same mission as you, and you get to share that with them. It’s so fun!”

Tiffany Brevard, Model/Singer & Songwriter/Actor

“I have friends for life.

The training and encouragement I received have helped me trust in God in ways I never thought possible.”

– Jason Dollar, Actor & Director

“You have given an outcast like me a place of fellowship

and a family of fellow artists and believers to turn to when the journey gets lonely. I will be forever grateful.”

– Adrian Valdez, Rapper

“I liked connecting and learning with others who share the same passion and purpose as I do–
displaying the attributes of Christ through the arts."

– Cynthia Shropshire, Model & Actress

“Before Shine, I had little clue of how I would achieve my God-given dream in the entertainment industry.

Also, I hadn't really met anyone that had the same dream.

Now I have a great biblical foundation to stand on, as well as an encouraging community, expert industry knowledge, and a real sense of peace of how God wants to use me!

I now feel so equipped to bring a positive change, and I’m excited to walk this fun path!"

– Isabel Riley, Actress & Model

"The professional training Shine offers is life-changing...

Without Shine, my understanding of the entertainment industry would be seriously lacking, practically nil.

In order for an artist to share her work with others in a sustainable way, she needs two different aspects of education. She needs the side that is going to fuel her creativity and curiosity and hone her craft, and she needs the side that is going to teach her how to apply her craft within the entertainment industry. Both of these sides of an artist’s education must be ongoing throughout her career.

The first step to accomplishing any artistic dream that you may have is to understand that it’s actually possible. In a world that throws doubts at aspiring artists all the time, Shine is able to undermine those doubts by way of their thorough, incomparable educational programs.”

Karis McMurry, Actress, BFA Acting Major in University

"Sometimes, I had to remind myself that I was not dreaming.

The sense of community is also enriching between fellow shiners and coaches, who pour out unlimited wisdom and godliness. There was no room for low self-esteem in this course, but constant encouragement and building us up stronger in the Lord.

The fellowship never ceased to be reaffirming and enlightening. It is like a spiritual warrior boot camp, cheering you on with the spirit of "never-give-up," because God is with you."

Mercy Lay, Dancer, BFA Degree from University

If you feel differently, Shine is not for you.

“When Sarai was small…

she was always trying to catch people’s attention, acting and repeating stuff she would hear on cartoons or movies. My wife and I said to each other, “You know? We should get her in acting.”

And then we heard about Shine.

Pretty much everything began with Shine. Before, we didn’t know anything about the tools you need. 99% percent of the things we learned about the industry we learned through Shine. Everything– including how to avoid gossip and being humble, she practices every day.

It’s been such a good thing for the whole family.”

FAQs

You know you want to do this. But you also know… you have a LOT to learn about the Entertainment Industry. Here are the answers to some questions we hear frequently!

My life is so busy, with my job (or school), my friends, my family. Can I fit this in?

My mother said (btw, this is Carey Lewis answering these FAQ's :), “If you want to get something done, ask a busy person.” In other words, busy people know how to work and succeed! Success breeds success. If you research your favorite stars (or any stars), you’ll discover that ALL of them are high achievers… in many areas! They’re busy, and they’re thriving.

Here’s the bottom line: Where is your heart? You need to prioritize what’s important to you. In terms of your family... I hope you have enthusiastic parental or spousal support. If you’re a working mom or dad, your kids will learn from what you do. If you go after your dreams, they’re likely to go after theirs, too. What a positive example you will be to those who love you most!

CPR averages 2-3 hours a week.

What if I’m already a working performer. Is this for me?

Shine coaches many working performers, because the best performers keep learning and striving to up their game. All of the most successful people have coaches and mentors. Some are looking for new management and/or to expand their markets.

Shine is also internationally recognized in the vital processes of branding.

Expert branding proves to be the missing link when experienced talent isn’t booking as well as they hope.

They may need a fresh look, a savvy perspective and/or new marketing materials… along with a reinvented presentation to industry VIP’s.

How do I know I can trust Shine, that it’s “for real”?

Good thoughts. Totally get it. We’ve worked with 1000’s of performers over the past 4 decades who wondered the same thing.

You can judge a tree by its fruit (its history or evidence). I’m 69. Christian Performer Readiness is highly specialized learning experience. It’s born of my last company's (AMTC) amazing 36 years in business. Check out our success stories. Our contacts. Our “fruit.” For a longer glimpse of successful working performers, you can visit https://www.shine.us/stars.

Additionally, here’s Who to trust: #1: God. Ask His advice on every contact and offer. Look for confirmations and peace. #2: History. Any coach, agent or industry rep you’re considering needs to have a long reputation with visible success stories. #3: DON’T trust anyone who flatters you and promises or implies success if you’ll just… (do something you don’t have peace about).

A word on who else NOT to listen to... dream haters or doubters in your life who are trying to keep you safe by keeping you small and your focus on what they want, not what you want.

Will my faith be compromised if I (or my child) follow the dream to be a performer?

Clearly, the entertainment industry includes shows and stars with questionable (or harmful) behavior. Maybe you’re wondering, “Does God want me to go to places like that? What if bad habits ‘rub off’ on me?"

Your concerns are understandable. But remember, Jesus focused His ministry on people others saw as “losers” or “morally corrupt.” They were His target audience. Sharing light, love, and kindness, in and through media is a worthy calling. It’s a golden opportunity. Your safety is to stay strong in your faith and unite with other believers who are on the same journey. Your talent presents a golden opportunity (even a godly mandate) to be a highly visible ambassador for Christ

How much time should I set aside each week for Christian Performer Readiness?

Hgh achievers are almost always busy people. We recommend you spend 2-3 hours per week on CPR for the 7-week live run of the course.

You can learn and interact with your coaches, guides, and new friends in our Circle Community, participate in live events, read, watch, ask questions, and make your experience personal.

The cool thing is you have continual (lifetime:) access to CPR videos, handouts, webinars, and course assets. So, if you have a busy week… You can catch up when the time is more available. If you want to review in 6 months or anywhere down the line, you can!

Will I learn how to get an agent and/or move forward in the entertainment industry?

In the CPR Modules, you’ll learn about today’s evolving entertainment industry and God’s exciting plan. On your live Saturday classes (10 am ET or 1 pm ET, as noted in the live event calendar once you register), Carey will present the "5 Hurdles of Industry Success" you MUST pass… to get an agent, a better agent, and/or book work. Sadly, 99% of aspiring performers are clueless about these NEW and unspoken rules. So they’re rejected again and again. They may assume they’re not talented enough (lie)… and give up– not understanding the importance of these hurdles (much less how to clear them)... because busy Agents don’t have time to teach them and local coaches don’t know them.

Why is it so hard to find success as a performer (and even harder as a Christian)?

The list of challenges can feel overwhelming. It can make you abandon your dreams and bury your talent. Often Christians wonder if God is really calling them to entertainment. (Spoiler alert: He is!)

Christians are succeeding like never before, but you need to learn how to be in this world– but not to become of it.

Will I get a refund if I don't like Christian Performer Readiness or don't feel like it can help me?

Yes! You can get a 100% refund of your investment until October 19th, 2024, 11:59 pm ET, as long as you "do the work." What does that mean? Participate in or watch the recordings of the live events + the first 1 video module, and complete the follow-up questions before requesting your refund.

Why do you have to show that you've participated? We believe CPR is the BEST way for you to align your faith and talent and move toward your dreams with confidence, but it doesn't work unless you do the work.

At the same time, we want to make sure you LOVE it, that it feels aligned to you, and that you love the Christian Performer Readiness Course and Community!

Do you offer discounts if more than one member of my family wants to participate?

Talent often runs in the family. Shine has had many parents & children both participating as performers, siblings, or husbands/wives. A second family member joining CPR receives a 50% discount. (This discount is limited to 2 total family members.) In other words, if a 4th family member wanted to “Shine,” he or she would pay the normal price.

Can my family watch the live-streamed workshops?

Your immediate family is welcome to watch the live-streamed workshops as well as all preparatory videos and materials at no charge. We would love to have them included in your learning and shining processes! However, we ask that you not share Shine membership materials with anyone outside your immediate household.

What’s a parent’s role in all of this?

If you have a talented child or teen, your role is one of active involvement. You (or your adult designee) will be with your child on every audition and booking. You need to understand the practicalities of the entertainment industry IN DEPTH. Your role involves nurturing, encouragement, transportation, balancing performance with other healthy non-performance activities, and maintaining the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of your young star.

If your child is obviously gifted and called by God, you have an opportunity to help him or her move forward safely.

What if I live in a different country? Will Christian Performer Readiness still help me?

Media covers the earth, and Shine loves its diverse community of international performers. Because New York, L.A., and Atlanta are the world's entertainment, modeling, and film capitals, Shine coaches by these standards. There’s truth in the classic Frank Sinatra song, New York, New York: “If you can make it there, you’ll make it anywhere…”

The exposure, workshops, and VIP feedback international performers receive from Shine is priceless. They often end up ahead in their own countries, cultures, or anywhere else they choose to perform. (NOTE: Shine cannot assist with the Visa processes involved in performers desiring to relocate or work in the U.S. or elsewhere.)

How do I start in the entertainment industry? Is CPR really going to help me understand my path on a practical level?

"What is step 1?"

"And 2, 3, 4…?"

"What exactly should I do with my talent?"

"Where should I focus my attention?"

"What’s the best use of my time and money?"

"Should I do this ___ or that ___?"

"How do I keep moving after I start and not get stuck?"

Not to mention the practicalities and actualities of knowledge you need— like what to wear to castings, what to say, where to search for auditions, what classes are worth taking and hundreds if not thousands of other details that hopefully will not take a lifetime to learn.

This is THE top FAQ! The best and simplest answer is... find the right mentor(s) with a proven track record: people who’ve been there, done that, are STILL doing it… and succeeding; people who respect your values as a believer, but also understand the entertainment industry as a whole. For Christians, it’s being with people who follow Jesus and get media.

Matthew 10:16 sums up the strategy. Remember, Jesus was sending out His disciples on their first mission trips (without Him). He said, “Be as shrewd as serpents, but as gentle (or harmless) as doves.” Meaning? THOROUGHLY learn the rules, tips, and tricks of worldly “games” – in this case, the games of entertainment. You need your talent and branding polished… before you enter the field. And remember, this game is won by love: by your excellence, obvious love of God and outstanding behavior!

What happens after the CPR Course? How can I continue to move forward?

There’s one more really important question that stops countless Christians from rising and shining in the mission fields of media...

It’s a BIG DOUBT, a "mountain" of an obstacle that seems impassable, and maybe some skeptics close to you have helped this mountain grow.

You've probably felt it. You may believe it. Maybe it's held you back for years. Even if you know better, there's at least a small part of you probably thinking…

“Am I Good Enough?”

(Sad and funny sidebar. After auditioning tens of thousands of performers for almost 5 decades, the people who are DEFINITELY NOT good enough never ask themselves that question. They're 100% sure and 100% wrong.)

Here's the truth. We're ALL works in progress. Every star today (Christian or not) felt the same doubts you feel. Each one of your favorite celebrities had the same mountain looming in their path.

But they took their talent, mustered up their courage, put in the work, and walked forward... into their destiny. Along the way, the "mountain" ahead got smaller and smaller... until it disappeared and became dust on the bottom of their shoes. They "brushed" it off and continued.

When you rise and shine, your starring roles will come. Why? Because Jesus says so...

"You are the light of the world"


(Practical Footnote: Talent is the LEAST IMPORTANT factor of entertainment industry success. Do you need it? Sure. But it's something you develop over time with quality coaching. You need other things far more. Learnable things. I look forward to telling you exactly what they are!)

If You’ve Made It This Far…

You’re a thinker. Cool! Shine is filled with high achievers and people who go the extra mile. But think just a little bit more– and answer these questions honestly for yourself…

If performing is truly your calling...

And your positive example shining in entertainment saves even one kid from starting on a downward spiral, following destructive role models?

Or what if it’s 10 people? A hundred? A million people? You don’t know what God has for you unless you walk it out. Jesus was all about leaving the 99 to find one lost sheep.

What if just one thing you learn in Christian Performer Readiness gives you a crucial piece of advice that gets you booked on a big audition?

Your career is launched. Your life is changed.

What if you find one friend who shares your passion to perform and is with you for life?

Your industry support group has begun! You’ve got somebody who gets you, somebody who loves God and feels called to the entertainment industry. Soon, you have a close circle of friends who become your second family. That’s how most people describe the Shine community. It’s a wealth of amazing people.

What if you "click" with one Shine coach who truly sees what’s special about you?

They speak your language in words you can hear and follow. They pull you out and help you grow, so that your marketability is multiplied… and finally, your talent becomes apparent to the right agents/managers/casting directors and other decision-makers?

What would these changes be worth to you over a lifetime?
