"Estes Tarver and his company Moonlight are some of the most professional coaches and audition taping resources I've had the good fortune to have clients utilize. Tapes coming from Estes are perfectly lit, framed, and edited and compete with the best self-tapes I see from a variety of markets. Making them even more competitive is the coaching Estes provides. Clients of mine who have worked with Estes have been flown to LA to screen test for everything from studio features to independent film to network tv to the latest streaming shows and several have gone on to book significant, career building opportunities."

"Estes is a true gem and it thrills me that the artists I work with regionally have Estes in their corner. He provides a tremendous support to the actor and their families, while navigating projects. He also has great insight on the appropriate direction needed for flawless execution. His tapes and coaching are spot on and better than most I have seen coming out of Los Angeles."

Their students get major roles in major productions all around the United States. I have used their actors for teaching workshops and am absolutely dazzled by the level of talent and professionalism. And their ability to bring joy to their work."

Extensive knowledge of the national and Southeast markets, the finest in audition coaching, and classes taught by dedicated and skilled teachers. Integrity, experience, and success are the watchwords. I am proud of my association with Moonlight and invite you to join us."
