I started coaching with Allesondra because I needed a coach that could help me with the transition from Texas to LA. And I am sooo glad I chose Authentic You. She gave me step by step guidance on everything I would need, and she even recommended other classes that she thought would help me build community when I first got here. Even with these other classes, I feel like I always walked away learning the most after my sessions with Allesondra. My camera technique, script analysis, and overall acting technique has never been better. And with her guidance, I just signed with a great agency!
Her passion for helping actors is so evident and she really knows what she’s talking about.

I love this studio. My go to coaching and auditioning studio in LA. They have a bunch of different classes and services for every working actor; commercial, audition technique, script analysis, group classes (online and in-person), and Allesondra offers the most information and technique for your dollar. Every time I work with Allesondra, I know I'm improving. SOOOO worth it.Allesondra is an AMAZING coach and teacher. She has so many tools in her belt. She creates a unique approach for each student based on their skillset. In class, she gives students different exercises based on who they are and their scene and watching my classmates before and after is awesome! She really helps!And during class, you get a copy of your tapes. The tapes are super high quality for sound and image.After working with her for only a few months I have booked jobs, gotten sharper and more specific, and nipped some bad habits.This is THE place to challenge yourself as an actor.

Hi ya'll I just moved here from Austin, TX to continue to pursue my acting, modeling and career in production. To enhance my skills in researching coaches in the LA area I stumbled upon Allesondra's website and was impressed with the feedback and her experience within the industry and decided to invest in training with her. I've taken a lot away from my time with her. She is patience, professional and insight into this industry. Highly recommend!
