My daughter recently had an acting lesson with Ms. Frances, and it was a fantastic experience! Ms. Frances is incredibly knowledgeable about the acting industry and brings a wealth of expertise to her teaching. During the lesson, she worked with my daughter on a self-tape for a big audition and helped her break down the script, which consisted of just one line. She explained what agents and directors might be looking for and guided Skye through every detail to bring out the best performance. Ms. Frances has a great way of connecting with young actors and making the process both engaging and educational. We are so impressed with her guidance and look forward to learning more from her in the future!

Frances has the ability to bring out the best in you as an actor, while simultaneously making the atmosphere and experience very comfortable! She also has an incredible way in which she explains things related to acting, and is very attentive and authentic in everything she teaches. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to pursue acting, or to continue overall growth as a seasoned professional!

Had my first lesson with Mrs Saxton, I was really pleased since English is my second language. She was able to quickly point out and correct my pronunciation issue. I'm looking forward to continue work with her.

Speaking with France’s is like a breath of fresh air. She’s eager to help with issues that I had and once I told her I knew she had experience with what I had trouble with. Expressing how she tackled it, step by step, just makes me appreciate her as an instructor. I’m excited to have her help moving forward!
