Frequently Asked Questions

We believe that every student has unique strengths and needs as a performer. Our skill is identifying what makes the student stand out, and helping them gain the confidence to really own that. Our training is not focused on one specific approach, but utilizing what technique will be most effective for the individual actor’s specific needs.

Many of our students have done extremely well in film, television, theater, as well as getting into some of the top universities including NYU, Carnegie Mellon, USC, UCLA, Boston University, amongst many others. Several of our alumni have commented on how similar our training is to what they’re learning in college!

We use the Zoom videoconferencing app for our sessions. It is extremely easy to use- we send the parent/student a link to click on, and then they’re in the session!
