Rise 2 Stardom is a talent-development and entertainment launch platform that helps aspiring actors, models, singers, dancers, influencers, and athletes connect with top-tier industry professionals — agents, casting directors, scouts, and mentors — to build a career in entertainment. Rise 2 Stardom was founded by Cory Dueger, a 30-year veteran of the entertainment industry who has worked as an international model, talent-agency owner, casting director, and founder of major industry events and agencies. Cory launched Rise 2 Stardom to give upcoming and experienced talent of all ages direct access to his extensive network of agents, casting directors, mentors and industry contacts. The goal is to simplify and accelerate the journey to becoming a paid, professional performer across film, modeling, music, dance, social media influencing, and sports-marketing fields.
