Meet the Team!


  • Founder | Acting Coach | Branding & Industry Consultant

    With over 15 years in the entertainment industry, Arely Vianet has spent countless hours auditioning, training, and dissecting what it truly takes to get in the room. She knows firsthand that just getting started in this business is a mountain to climb—one that took years of research, trial, and error to navigate.

    Arely's expertise lies in consulting, branding, self-tape coaching, profile building, and submission strategy. She has spent the better half of her career not just honing her craft as an actor but also learning how to market herself and others effectively. The reality is, talent alone isn’t enough. Without the right materials, industry knowledge, and strategy, actors often struggle to get opportunities, even for an audition.

    Her coaching is built on honesty, realism, and a commitment to highlighting what makes you unique. She doesn’t believe in forcing actors into a mold—she focuses on ensuring that your headshots, clips, and profile authentically reflect you so that casting directors and agents can see your full potential.

    At Performer’s Launch Pad, Arely demystifies the tools you need to start your career with confidence and clarity. Her goal is to empower performers to take control of their careers, giving them the resources, strategy, and support they need to begin auditioning and submitting to agencies.

    “Why not you?” is a question she asks every performer. There are so many wonderful opportunities to work in this industry—you just need the right tools to access them.

    Outside of work, Arely enjoys cooking, singing, and learning how to bake.
