With patience and care - Ms. Buckner coaches the actor to constantly deliver the best of themselves in each moment. She sees the bright light within every student, finding those unique qualities that make each one shine, and is able to easily direct the individual on how to share their artistry with the world. Coming in as her student, I felt lost in my acting. I knew that I loved the performing arts, but I lacked clear direction. Ms. Buckner gave me the tools and techniques that sharpened my skills, as she consistently sought to provide me with every opportunity to hone my craft. From analyzing Shakespeare, to learning how to breathe life into a new work, to teaching the art of the cold read, to building the foundation of the actor’s improv experience, to prepping the actor on how to make a lasting impression in their slate - Ms. Buckner’s coaching services offer an all-encompassing training for the actor. However, Ms. Buckner’s most notable and admirable quality by far is the unwavering dedication that she shows to each student. Long after Ms. Buckner has taught a student, they will continue to receive her immense love, kindness, and support. More than a teacher, Ms. Buckner offers all of herself to each person as a mentor, friend, and sometimes even a mother to those in need. She has trained me, directed me, and even nursed me back to health during a particularly bad case of stage fright. For all of this and more, I will forever be grateful and recommend Ms. Buckner wholeheartedly to any and every student looking to begin their acting journey.

Mr. Stinga has the perfect mentality for teaching, he's patient, attentive and very friendly. I felt comfortable right away he has a way of making the lessons much less intimidating, you can sense his experience he makes you feel at ease while learning your pace and that's the pace he sets for the lesson , personally I really liked that . If your looking to learn a new language you can't go wrong with Octavian Stinga.

Hannah is a fantastic teacher! She is professional, always aware of the time and how best to utilize it. She is encouraging, expressing what strikes her in my performance and how it can be better. She is not judgmental, that is, she only gives constructive criticism, never destructive criticism. She sees acting as playing and so encourages my silly side, wanting to try different things to see how the performance looks and feels, which is a lot of fun! She is easygoing, asking me if I am okay with what we are doing or if I would prefer trying something different. I always look forward to class; I am super excited to see how I grow in my future lessons with her! :)
