Love
Acting
Studio
Welcome to LAS!
​I started Love Acting Studio to help bridge the gap between the artist and the industry. When I left a prestigious BFA program, I quickly realized I had so much to learn about the business side of acting. Now, after 20 years of navigating this industry, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned along the way.​
​
With two decades of experience as a personal trainer, I know how to tailor every experience to meet your unique needs. We’ll start exactly where you are and build from there.
​
I’m still a working, auditioning actor, as well as a teaching artist and voice & text director. That’s why my programs are fully online—so I can work with you no matter where I am.
​
Whether you’re just starting out, ready to take control of your career and craft, transitioning from university or conservatory to the professional world, or making the leap from stage to on-camera work, I’m here for you.
​
Let’s collaborate, close any gaps, and take your career to the next level.

TESTIMONIALS
Joining this class has renewed my hunger for not just acting, but breaking down scenes and really understanding what the writers are saying. Each week is like a new puzzle to figure out and play with! Not to mention the sense of community I feel is something I've never experienced in all my years of taking acting classes. Even through zoom! Love's teaching really helps you hone in on your individuality and pulls out what makes you unique! - Danielle S.
Love is incredible at meeting people exactly where they are at. No matter your prior experience, her classes fit everyone! I have also gotten callbacks after coaching with Love. She helps me understand character more deeply and understand the text in ways I didn’t see my first go around with new material. - Kayla K.
The experience has been great! I feel like I actually belong, which is a foreign feeling when it comes to being in acting class. It's not only because I'm surrounded by other amazing black women, but because you have facilitated such a safe space where I feel comfortable to "go there", try new things, to fail, to try. I feel comfortable which has been such a game changer in my work. I feel a difference inwardly and outwardly. I got my first chemistry read and was only in your class for a month! - Ashley C.
