“Shauna’s ACT 1 class has truly been a game changer for me. As a theatre actress, I struggled to find a class that could help me break through and truly understand the difference between stage and on-camera acting – and when I tell you THIS is the class? THIS is the class for you! Her experience, patience, and personalized approach create such a safe and inspiring environment. I went from zero callbacks to getting one within weeks of applying what I learned. Her knowledge and humility are unmatched, and I can’t wait to continue with ACT 2. Shauna is simply the best!”

“Shauna's vast array of acting skills shines through in her classes. I learned a lot, had a wonderful time, and gained some quality skills—especially things you can't learn from YouTube. Every class was definitely worth it; if you're serious about acting, this is where you want to be.”
