Testimonials
Charlotte Horan (Professional Actor)
Kendra is such a wonderfully warm and knowledgeable teacher and coach. She made me feel comfortable and guided me through many linklater and movement exercises to specifically help me with my scene. She is intuitive, kind and precise. Grateful to Kendra for uniquely seeing me as an actor and pushing me to achieve all my acting goals.
Tatiana Chavez (Professional Actor)
I feel so privileged to be coached by Kendra. What’s it like? Expect full honesty! She’s fun, she makes me remember who I am. I connect with her as we read together and I feel safe and ready to fully embody myself and the text. I trust that she’s going to explore any character with me. Kendra is always aware of what industry professionals are looking for and constantly uses that knowledge to help me achieve my most authentic performance . If there’s something that doesn’t make sense, or isn’t truthful she picks it up in my voice/body instantly. Expect to roll down and loosen your jaw (as you should!) and expect to take a big step closer to your best work! Kendra has taught me so much and I couldn’t ask for a better coach!
