We were lucky to catch up with Kelsor Jaquan recently and have shared our conversation below.
Kelsor, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.
Beginning my acting career in 2019, my initial objective was to master the craft, discover the most effective techniques for myself, learn networking, and identify opportunities, The obstacles surrounding this issue include a multitude of options, some legitimate and some dubious.
Little did I know that this very set of questions and obstacles would guide me to my true calling in the entertainment industry: devising more efficient methods to manage its various facets!I believe that the most essential skill is strong persistence, the ability to persevere against the multitude of ‘No’s’ one encounters daily, as it reflects the nature of our industry!
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Certainly! I am Kelsor Jaquan, but you can refer to me as Kelsor. As the Founder & CEO of Acthound Global, an entertainment technology firm, we are committed to transforming how various sectors of our industry function. We address these intricate challenges by fusing the elegance of the arts and insightful critiques from industry experts with cutting-edge innovations and ideas, all aimed at enhancing the integration of technology within the entertainment sector.
Acthound began in 2020 as a straightforward program designed to assist actors in honing their skills affordably. It has since expanded to offer a multitude of software solutions addressing different aspects of the entertainment industry’s workflow.

I believe in learning new things, especially those that bring joy and fun! My journey included pottery, painting, and dancing, until I discovered acting in 2019. It was love at first sight; acting is one of those rare fields where incredibly talented individuals from various backgrounds converge. It’s amazing to see someone who works a regular office job by day transform into a stand-up comedian in their free time!
What truly fills me with pride is the resilience of the professionals in this industry and our collective dedication to preserving the spirit of entertainment and the happiness it brings to people.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
Certainly! My primary mission is to ensure that the future professionals poised to spearhead the next wave of groundbreaking movies, TV shows, streaming services, video games, music, and more, have the most efficient access to all the resources, knowledge, and guidance they require to succeed in the entertainment industry.
In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?
In my view, society has put immense pressure on professionals to rapidly produce work without considering the repercussions of such a system. Rather than nurturing a community and the abilities needed to develop outstanding professionals who will create remarkable works, we are churning out methods that diminish the quality. Therefore, I believe we should focus more on preserving the human touch in the arts because that leads to the true desired result that makes our hearts leap with joy!
