Alex V. says, "If you’re on the fence about taking acting lessons or the idea of it makes you want to run and hide, Melissa is the perfect teacher for you! She’s patient, supportive and made me feel comfortable about the process from day 1. I feel like I learn something important from every lesson and her methods actually work for me. She’s also been extremely flexible when it comes to scheduling and has wonderful communication. I feel like she pushes you just enough outside of your comfort zone to allow you to grow, while also committing to maintaining a safe space. I’ve had nothing but an enjoyable and fun experience so far and look forward to my next lesson! ☺️"See more

Lina D. says, "Working with Nili has honestly changed the way I act. She doesn’t let you stay on the surface of a scene. She makes you dig deeper and actually understand what’s going on underneath the lines. If I ever try to fake it or skate by, she catches it immediately. But she doesn’t just call it out, she helps me fix it. She’s direct, focused, and really cares about the work. Every session feels intentional. I always leave feeling stronger and more clear in my choices. She’s helped me grow a lot, not just in skill but in confidence. I’m really grateful I get to train with her."See more

Alexander M. says, "Working with Deanna Henley has been nothing short of awesome. Not only is she a professional coach, she is hardworking, kind and a wonderful person. She always goes out of her way to help you achieve your best. Having Deanna help me navigate/coach me through the college audition process was an absolute lifesaver. It was very daunting and at times overwhelming, but Deanna got me through it. I believe I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her guidance and coaching. She is highly experienced in the process of college auditions for Musical Theatre. Deanna helped me pick material that not only made me feel confident, but also helped me showcase my abilities to their fullest potential. She coached me through a song and help me add depth to my characters’ monologues. Deanna helped me find material I loved and that suited my persona and helped me make the material my own. I highly recommend Deanna as a coach for either singing or acting or both. Don’t hesitate in working with her. You won’t regret it!"See more
