Whether you are a seasoned actor or just starting to build your career, we would love to meet you and help you on your way.

Rochel is as proficient as sam
“Had a brush-up session today with Rochel after rigorous studying with my dear coach, the late Sam Chwat, who helped me eliminate my European accent and acquire Standard American Speech. Sam was the wonderful man who trained Rochel, and I’m happy to say, she is as proficient and wonderful as he was!”

An Actor and Linguist's Review
““It is a pleasure to be taught by such a professional like you, Deb. I successfully graduated from a screen acting course in Britain. The tutors didn’t even recognize my country of origin until I told them. Only due to your support could I sign up for my first-ever performing workshop in an English-speaking country.”
