Maria F.
This is my first private acting lessons and I’m so grateful. Desiree more than being a great professional, makes you feel comfortable by creating a safe space. Classes are fun, they have an objective and it’s awesome all the feedback you receive from her! She makes my acting lesson so worth it. It’s the kind of teacher that helps you in and out the lesson. Thank you 😋

I'm early into my lessons with Lana and I already love her approach and personality. She explains the theory of acting in a manner that's simple but inspirational. Can't wait to learn more and have fun along the way.

Working with Mr. Ali has changed my perspective on acting. I actually really value our lessons together. Even when we have a lesson and regroup a month later we pick up exactly where we left off and I’m just as edified as I was in our previous session.
He’s a master of his craft and a valuable mentor who has taught me so much already about my technique and about myself.
Can’t wait to continue working with him! :)
Kenshaka Ali- Coaching GreatnessThumbtack Customer
Miss Carolyn's coaching is very, very helpful for my auditions, in terms of script analysis, creating characters, and career developing.
I thought I already knew all the subtext of my monologues. But Carolyn pointed out more details which I ignored but very important for my understanding of the structure and arc of my monologues. For example, for my classic monologue, Carolyn taught me a very important lesson that, instead of cutting the parts I felt like unnecessary to say, I should figure out the reason why the character repeat or exaggerate the same t thing at certain places, what her intention is, and what quality it reflects the character has.
Knowing that the "place" my character is in is very important to me, Carolyn asked series of questions to help me to explore the place, which offers me a better sense of reality for the scene.
By exploring the physical gesture of my characters, Carolyn helped me to gain better ownership of my two different characters.
As a person whose first language is not English, Carolyn helped me with my diction and taught me the method to practice my pronunciation. The relationship of diction and acting was ignored by me. I used to think as long as your intention and truthful feeling are there, your acting will be good. But Carolyn let me realized that the more I make myself clear, the better intention and feeling I can express through my language, the more fluid my acting will be, and the better audiences will know from what my characters say.
we also run through the whole audition several times, I got to know what the recruiter expect from students, and what I should put on during the audition.
During the five session classes, I gained more confidence about my strengths and I was affected by Carolyn's bright personality, her passion for acting and her professionalism . I just finished my all auditions. And I got callback from NYU. Now waiting for the results. Fingers crossed.
