"The main thing is the ability to control your instrument, which, in the actor, is yourself. Once you've trained the instrument to do what you want, you're in control. And you're free."

"No one is better at fostering a nurturing environment than Amy. She gives each student the space they need to create and the attention they need to improve. By sharing her own decades of acting and casting experience, she gives her students a practical leg-up without ever letting them forget why they're truly there. In a town that can feel like it's all about business, Amy's class will remind you why you fell in love with acting in the first place."

"I’ve been attending Amy’s class for years. She doesn’t teach me how to act. She helps me to trust myself and my instincts. Under her tutelage, I was able to get out of my comfort zone and become more self-aware without being self-conscious. She’s able to work with any actor at any skill-level. Without Amy, I wouldn’t be the strong, confident performer I am today."

"Amy Reece's On-Camera Audition Technique class was well worth the investment into my craft! Amy selects scenes that are challenging, yet fitting for me as an actor. She provides detail, constructive critiques, and encouragement that only a true industry expert can do. Her feedback and individual attention really helped me to shift perspective when needed throughout each scene. I highly recommend enrolling when you have the opportunity to do so!"

"Amy’s class is my therapy. I look forward to it every week. The way she allows us to feel all of our feelings and then shows us how to use those in our art is something I’ve never experienced in an acting class before. Thank you, Amy, for allowing me to feel safe enough to be my truest self."
Emily Gross

"Working one-on-one with Amy has completely changed the game in my professional career. She thoughtfully hand picks roles in scenes that have given me confidence in my wheelhouse and have opened my eyes to other accessible roles I previously felt were out of reach. She provides valuable insight into the industry focusing my energy on the next right audition, meeting and, ultimately, role. Working with Amy has put me in tip-top actor shape and truly emboldened me as an artist. With Amy, you are not just a client, but become family. Finding this collective of artists has been pure magic and I'm so happy to be a part of the family!"

"The teachings at Amy Reece Studios are absolutely phenomenal. Not only do you discover new things about your scene work, you discover new things about yourself. You grow as a person and an actor in this class. I am learning to go at a deeper level with my work and overcome my personal roadblocks in the process."

"Amy is more than a teacher of acting. She aids her students in discovering their own emotional mechanics; therefore understanding the emotional mechanics of others. Providing a space free of judgement, where you can grow and reveal aspects of yourself that are socially masked. Amy encourages curiosity and will help you blossom into who you are: a human being."
Roland Reynoldson
Scene Study
"Amy's class has been transformational. The class is incredibly positive and there is so much to be taken from class into any audition or acting opportunity. I've booked more and simply felt more connected about my acting. Amy's class has been a game changer."
Jennie Fahn

"Amy Reece is one of the best teachers I've had the pleasure to work with. Her emphasis on listening, being truly present and revealing an authentic approach to each role has only widened my view of acting."

"I loved studying with Amy! She is such a strong advocate for actors and teaches with so much kindness and warmth. I felt completely safe in her class to be vulnerable and work on difficult material with no judgment. She knows exactly when to push you and when not to, and from her I learned so much about how to make a personal connection to the story on the page. Especially for any actor feeling burnt out, beat up, or uninspired by the industry, her class will reignite your passion for this art form."
Vivian Kerr

"Amy Reece’s self taping audition classes were superb. Not only did she thoroughly critique my tapes prior to class (therefore giving me plenty of class time to work on problem areas), but she also challenged me with scenes she chose for me to perform each week. Amy has the rare gift of offering honest assessment and criticism while being kind, encouraging, humorous and personable. I am very much looking forward to my next class with her!"

"I've explored the inner depths of my unique humanity as it's expressed in my work with Amy. She's a supportive and strong teacher who is deeply compassionate about the actors that she teaches, guides, and mentors."
Zach Sandberg

"Amy's class is fun and effective. She helps you bring your experiences, your craft, and your moment-to-moment life into your scenes and auditions. Also, she helps actors understand how to make and trust exciting choices that will drive and support their work. In short, Amy will help you become a better actor."
Miguel Fierro
Scene Study
"I have never had an acting coach, let alone a casting director, who could so easily open up a whole new aspect of any character or scene. In just a few short minutes, Amy can increase your depth and understanding of any scene and help you relate to any character on a whole new level. And not only does she help with the scene, she also cares about the technical aspects of your self tapes. Taking this class actually made me a better actor... not something I can say about every acting coach. I would recommend this class to ANY actor and I'll be using Amy for ALL of my private coaching. I can't recommend it enough."

"[It was] so fun and rewarding to take this class and bring myself up to speed to audition and perform. Amy Reece is an insightful professional with love, patience and attention to detail for all actors and performers. From our weekly warm up exercises to our Scene Study presentations, everyone in class was supportive and encouraging. I am planning on joining an Audition Technique and a Self-Taping class in the near future to work and learn in those areas."
