Having Soma as my acting coach Soma is so beyond helpful and understanding not only has she been super flexible with my difficult school schedule I’ve had but she has been giving me nothing but support, love and all around inspirational teacher to me. Just by watching her videos I was able to grow my acting techniques and learning new skills (i.e. crying on demand). This was a big milestone for me because it means I am learning to really get in touch with my emotions and using imagery in my head and creating real emotions through expressions. Acting is hard work but determination is so important and finding a good teacher too. I honestly could not have asked for a better teacher, I’m beyond grateful I found her. Before soma, acting was just a dream. But with her by my side as my teacher I know it won’t be just dream, it will become a reality for me.

Such a personable experience! Honestly, the fact that Soma herself is giving the classes and interacting makes this workshop that much more real and worthwhile! I love that she asks questions, challenges us to dig deep within ourselves to try to understand the reasons as to why we are here, why we love acting, why we chose this career path. I loved this class and I'm so looking forward to all the classes going forward for the rest of the year! I am looking forward to not only learning a plethora of amazing information, but also to put it to practice!

Actor Academy is rverything an actor could ask for in a training program Actor Academy is everything an actor looking to kickstart their career could ask for. Soma and the other acting coaches including Emily, Christina and Hershel not only work with us weekly during our classtime, but support and interact with us within the discord community. The online course covers all of the basics and necessities, and Soma is always adding new chapters/videos based on what we (the students) want to learn/improve on. The many resources available to us help us hone in on out craft and grow as performers. Actor Academy cultivates a community of actors from all around the world and sets us up for success when preparing for and filming auditions.

Feels like a safe space I’ve taken a few acting classes in the past, but this is the first class I’ve taken thats felt like a safe space where everyone wants you to succeed. Even after just 6 weeks, I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of helpful feedback and learned quite a bit about the business side as well. I just have to start pushing myself now to upload weekly monologues and submit myself because I’ve been given the tools I need. I look forward to class every week and to keep growing as an actor!

Actor Academy is the best all in one… Actor Academy is the best all in one package for actors to go from getting started all the way to landing their first role. Soma is highly interactive with all students and the classes are well structured. 10/10 would highly recommend!
