"I cannot speak highly enough of Lea's teaching style, approach to acting, and the care and empathy she holds for her students. She grows keenly aware of each student's strengths and weaknesses, and approaches each individual with utmost empathy. I can't be more thankful for meeting her.

 

Lea absolutely transformed my perception of acting and the approach taken between interpreting myself and the art. Before I met her, I came from a pragmatic, not as artistic, background, and my acting training was extremely limited. Lea's teachings absolutely freed me from my shackles of constricted thought. She was patient in my own personal development. Even in the most abstract exercises, I've felt safe and comfortable to explore in ways I'd previously never even considered, and I've been 

able to succeed like never before..

 

Lea truly cares about each student's growth and journey. Her sincere desire to see her students do great work is inspiring. Training with Lea prior to the graduate application process was one of my best decisions, and her lessons will stay with me for a long time."
