I loved Leahs well of knowledge in auditioning for both on camera and on stage work. She can take an audition that you feel uncomfortable with and get you rocking the bageezes out of it. When I first started working with Leah I was a very self- conscience auditioner- she got me to feel like the badass I should feel like every time I walk into the room.

I had a wonderful experience working with Leah. I had been a little out of practice with monologues and she was very patient and made me feel comfortable. It was a great work session and I left with a better command of the monologue and various techniques to use to continue working on my own at home. I highly recommend!

Leah is extremely knowledgeable of the industry. She is proven and brings immense skill to her craft, always pulling the best out of each child and making it exciting for the student while keeping them grounded. In our experience with her we constantly see her going above and beyond. She is always composed and gives the kids a sense of belonging. She truly cares about each and every child she teaches, giving thoughtful advice on their performance, always being incredibly responsive, and continuously being fun and easy to work with!

My 12 year-old has tried dozens of sports, camps, instruments, and extra-curricular activities, and this is by far the one and only she cant wait to get to each week. She has learned confidence and how to react quickly in situations, in large part to Leahs reliable, smart, and loving coaching.

Ive worked with Leah to tape several auditions for pilots in Los Angeles. Leah is honest and very easy to work with. I never feel rushed, and Ive always walked out feeling like we submitted my best takes. We break down the script, talk about character work, and walk through the technical aspects. She knows what you need to do to make your audition stand out, and goes over the takes with you to talk about them. I couldnt ask for a more comfortable atmosphere to work in.

Not everyone can teach what they know, but Leah can! She has great tips, techniques and advice that quickly improved my acting. Leah is hard-working, reliable and has a sincere desire to help her students succeed. Shes a successful stage and on-camera actor who clearly knows what shes doing. Leah also has valuable information about preparing for an audition and the audition process. Shes able to tape auditions as well as lessons which is a huge help for an actor in learning how to improve ones performance.
