⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the pleasure of working with the International Talent Academy as a voice judge in the Rising Star Competition and it was a truly wonderful experience. I very much enjoyed experiencing and supporting their genuine dedication to nurturing young talent while maintaining a high level of professionalism. Tatyana creates an encouraging environment where performers feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow, while also upholding strong artistic standards. As someone who has worked in the music industry internationally, I was impressed by the care and integrity with which the organization approached the competition. It was an honor to be part of the judging panel and I would highly recommend the International Talent Academy to aspiring performers and industry professionals alike. I look forward to seeing the continued impact they will undoubtedly have on the next generation of artists.

We had an excellent experience participating in the Rising Star International Online Competition. Although our participation was online, from the very beginning we felt genuinely welcomed and appreciated by the organizers. The entire process was professional, well-organized, and transparent. The communication was friendly and supportive, and the competition attracted many talented young musicians, creating a strong and inspiring international environment. We were honored to receive 2nd Place in such a competitive category, and we greatly appreciate the thoughtful evaluation and recognition from the jury. We sincerely thank the organizers for their dedication to supporting young artists and providing them with an opportunity to showcase their talent on an international stage. We highly recommend this competition to students and teachers around the world and look forward to participating again next year. Warm regards from Serbia, Maja Radosavljević & Stefan Radosavljević 🇷🇸🎹

Thank you very much for giving young performers around the world the opportunity to showcase their talents through your prestigious international competition. We are truly grateful and honored to learn that our daughter, Riley Brielle C. Cantos, won 1st Place in the Theater Arts Division (Elementary Category) in the Carmel Arts Rising Star International Online Competition 2026. This achievement means so much not only to our family, but also to her school community, St. Bridget College - Batangas, which has been very proud and supportive of her journey in the performing arts. At only 8 years old, Riley is deeply inspired by this recognition as she continues to develop her passion and talent in theater arts. More importantly, she was proud to represent the Philippines on an international platform and, to our knowledge, is the first Filipino participant to win 1st Place in this category in the competition, making this achievement even more meaningful for our family and community. Thank you once again for creating a meaningful avenue where young artists can shine, grow, and inspire others through the arts.

I can't say enough about Ms. Tatyana and the International Talent Academy. Two of my daughters were in her Theater group and loved every minute. If you are looking for an inclusive acting class where the teacher brings years of experience, this is the place for you. Ms. Tatyana creates such a positive, encouraging environment where every child feels valued and supported. My girls have learned teamwork, responsibility, and how to step outside of their comfort zones. Seeing them walk onto a stage with pride and excitement has been unforgettable.
