I am a mother, first and foremost. My daughter was a beautiful child with a big personality – but only around those, she knew. I thought that she was cute enough to do commercials, but I didn’t count on that she was mortifying shy around strangers. I am not shy. How do you teach your child NOT to be nervous? There are no “anti-shy classes.”

I knew at the moment during an audition for Ford, when she decided to hide behind my leg, that I had to do something to help her be a confident, self-assured human being. And so begins our journey.

Acting classes help her grow her confidence and self-esteem quickly and effectively. Acting skills work from the classroom throughout life. The Performer’s Academy is a great place to learn to perform and take those skills to the stage, screen, classroom, or boardroom.

For those that want to pursue a career in the industry, you do need to train, you do need to have the desire and ability to get to LA for auditions, and the kids have to have good grades to obtain their work permit. Most important of all — it has to be “their idea.”

The staff is fantastic, with teachers who are working in the industry, and the owner with years of experience and connections to every aspect of Hollywood! The Performer’s Academy gives you the room to grow and develop as a performer, with teachers who are dedicated to your success!”

“We love The Performer’s Academy and their staff! They are true professionals in the industry who are not only knowledgeable but also passionate about their jobs and the Arts.

I would highly recommend The Performer’s Academy to all my friends and anyone looking for a legitimate Acting school for their kids.”
