“I just finished the intensive class with Cody Mayo and gained so much from working with and listening to him. He's got loads of experience and insight into the process of acting at a high level, but is also very down to earth and approachable. I always felt like he truly had my best interest at heart. He never made it seem like I was just a number to him. This class gave my self-confidence a much needed boost. I will definitely be training with Cody in the future!”

This level of preparation and experience enables him to turn in amazing auditions and create memorable and dynamic TV characters. Working with Cody on 9-1-1 was a dream.

"I've had the pleasure of working with Cody both on set and on self tapes! On set he is focused, prepared and brilliant and his work is so grounded and natural, that if you didn't know him you'd think he just casually stumbled into effortlessness. When in reality, that effortlessness is supported by focused work and preparation, he just makes it look easy. In the ten years I've worked professionally, I've run into very few actors like Cody. Because not only is Cody's work exceptional, but he is kind, patient, attentive and endlessly positive. My experience working with him has stuck with me and I can't wait to do it again!" Hope Lauren has appeared in The Republic of Sarah, Walker, Supergirl, The Forever Purge, & more!”
