YOUR INSTRUCTOR:

Tara Lombardo

Tara Lombardo is an Emmy Award winning journalist turned actor. Her deep appreciation and knowledge for the art of television production led her to be a part of countless commercial productions, industrials, network TV shows, and blockbuster films. She has also served as a spokesperson for several Fortune 500 companies and participated in their brand management as a company. 


Tara’s knowledge of both being in front of the camera and behind the scenes has benefited her deep understanding of the “big picture” when it comes to the industry as a whole. Her company, Green Sky Productions, has produced numerous commercials and marketing videos, as well as the award winning independent film, “iGirl,” in which Tara was awarded ‘Best Female Filmmaker’ and her daughter, Skylar, was awarded the "Rising Star" award from the New York Independent Film Festival. You can see Tara’s work as an actor on shows such as "The Wonder Years," "MacGyver,” “The Resident,” and movies such as “Shazam! The Fury of the Gods," “Need for Speed,” “My Dad’s A Soccer Mom,” and “Almost Christmas.” 


Tara has two daughters, both of which are actors. Skylar Morgan Jones has appeared in “Dynasty,” “The Vampire Diaries,” Lifetime’s “Terror in the Woods,” and as the lead in the psychological thriller movie, “Blood," now available on several streaming platforms. Ariel Jones starred alongside her mother in “The Resident,” and can also be seen in “Your Worst Nightmare,” as well as numerous national commercials, national voiceovers, and a YouTube series with her sister.


Tara loves sharing her knowledge of the industry with those who are just starting out, or simply looking to get ahead. She believes in the power of positivity and preaches that other actors are not competition…the only competition lies within the artist to be the best version of themselves, as a human, and as an actor.  


Frequently Asked Questions

Please email  UCAN@UnitedChildActorsNetwork.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Actor's Parent Academy is tailored for the parent that is just starting out in the industry with their child, or is fairly new to the industry, meaning less than 5 years experience of active auditioning, booking jobs, and being on set with their child. 


There has never been a course like this offered specifically for parents of child actors from a parent of a child actor that has the same point of reference that you need! Being a parent in the acting industry is uniquely exhausting and I bring you the knowledge you need first-hand to save you time, effort, and money so you can avoid many of the pitfalls first-time acting parents make. 


This is more than a decade of experience packed into one masterclass! I have not found another course like this out there which is why I felt the need to create it. This course covers DOZENS of classes that I have taken throughout my career to level up as an actor, as well as classes I have taken as the parent of a child actor. Additionally, I added topics no-one likes to talk about like how to handle the gut-wrenching statistics of the acting world, which are hard to digest as an adult, let alone a child. Plus, the mental aspect of a parent watching their child on what sometimes feels like an emotional rollercoaster can be tough. We talk about how to handle that, too!
