In today’s entertainment industry, doors that once seemed permanently closed are beginning to crack open. But getting through those doors — especially to work with someone as iconic and influential as Tyler Perry — takes more than just raw talent. It takes strategy, access, mentorship, and most importantly: representation.
Whether you’re an aspiring actor or a rising model, you’ve probably heard whispers (or maybe dreams) of working with Tyler Perry Studios. Based in Atlanta and helmed by one of the most powerful creators in Hollywood, Tyler Perry Studios is not just producing hit films and shows — it’s reshaping the industry from the inside out.
But what most people don’t understand is how to actually get seen by casting teams working on these projects. And no, it’s not just about “getting lucky.” It’s about getting ready — and then getting connected.
Here’s where VIP Ignite and Truth Mgmt come in — and why this article may just be your wake-up call.
Tyler Perry: A Creator Who Sees the Unseen
Tyler Perry is known for giving opportunities to actors who haven’t had their break yet — especially talent who are hungry, humble, and determined. He frequently highlights how he wants to work with people who are striving — those who are overlooked by mainstream Hollywood but who are overflowing with potential.
And make no mistake: Tyler Perry Studios is constantly casting.
From new streaming series to blockbuster films and live productions, the studio frequently posts casting calls for:
-
- Lead and supporting roles
- Background talent
- Stand-ins and photo doubles
- Real families, real communities, and authentic, relatable characters
The process typically includes submitting professional photos, a resume, and sometimes a brief video audition. But here’s the truth:
If you want to be taken seriously, you need to be represented by people who understand the casting ecosystem — people who can position you properly, package your brand, and make sure your materials actually get seen.
This Is Where So Many Actors and Models Fail…
We’ve seen it too many times:
Someone has the dream.
They’ve got the raw talent.
But they don’t know what they don’t know.
They upload an outdated selfie, copy-paste a few lines from a school play bio, and hope someone important will magically find them. Meanwhile, real casting directors — including those connected to Perry’s team — are sifting through thousands of submissions looking for professionalism, clarity, and readiness.
Without representation, your submission often ends up lost in the noise.
And guess what? Tyler Perry Studios often prefers to work directly with agents and managers — because they know we’ve already vetted the talent. We’ve prepped you. We’ve coached you. We’ve helped you avoid the beginner mistakes.
That’s why having Truth Mgmt as your agency and working with VIP Ignite’s training programs isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.
The Miami News: Shining a Spotlight on Hidden Talent
In response to the overwhelming demand for legit casting opportunities — especially for overlooked talent — VIP Ignite is partnering with The Miami News, a reinvigorated media platform with a focus on arts, culture, and talent development.
What makes this exciting?
The Miami News will now feature a Casting & Talent Opportunities section, highlighting exclusive roles and projects — including those from major production hubs like Tyler Perry Studios, Netflix, independent films, fashion campaigns, and more.
But don’t get it twisted. This isn’t some “open call” free-for-all where anyone can upload blurry pictures and wait by the phone.
The casting opportunities featured in The Miami News will be curated, vetted, and available only to talent working with VIP Ignite and Truth Mgmt.
Why?
Because we’re not just here to give you information.
We’re here to give you access — and prepare you to actually book the role when the opportunity shows up.
Why Atlanta? Why Now?
Atlanta has become a major film and television hub — and Tyler Perry was one of the first major players to recognize its potential.
Today, more productions are being filmed in Georgia than almost anywhere else in the U.S. That means if you’re serious about building your acting or modeling career, Atlanta needs to be on your radar.
But here’s the catch:
Most productions, including those at Tyler Perry Studios, cast locally.
That means they’re looking for:
-
- Actors who can work as locals in Georgia
- Talent who are ready to go on short notice
- People who already have headshots, resumes, and reels on file with reputable agents
And if you’re working with VIP Ignite and Truth Mgmt — you’re already in that pipeline.
We’ve had clients book roles, get callbacks, and receive personal feedback from casting directors working with major Atlanta-based productions — not because they begged their way in, but because they were prepared and represented.
What Makes VIP Ignite Different?
At VIP Ignite, we’re not just preparing you to dream. We’re preparing you to work.

Because everything we do is built around legitimacy. Our founder, Alycia Kaback, has spent the last 20 years helping talent break into the industry the right way — and if you’re ready, your name could be next.

Tyler Perry once said, “I’m looking for people who haven’t had a chance — people with fire in their eyes.”
If that’s you, the door is open.
But don’t assume that just wanting it is enough.
Don’t assume your raw talent will speak louder than your preparation.
And definitely don’t assume you’ll “figure it out later.”
You need strategy. You need packaging.
And yes — you need the right team behind you.
VIP Ignite and Truth Mgmt have helped thousands of aspiring actors and models go from overlooked to unforgettable. Some have landed roles in hit series. Some have signed with major agencies. Others have become full-time working talent.
