We just wanted to thank you for all the guidance and support you've given us throughout the college audition process. You've not only been a resource for Beanie, but also a reassuring sounding board for the crazy thoughts in my head. Thank you for allowing both of us to ask questions and bounce ideas off of you. Your patience made this journey feel less overwhelming. We appreciate all your help with the essays, thank you notes, tough decisions and all the little things in between that made a very big difference. Your encouragement and expertise have truly meant a lot to our family, and we're so grateful to have had you on this journey with us.

XOXO, Michelle and Beanie

An Amazing Acting Coach!!!!

Steven is truly an outstanding acting coach!! After only two lessons, my son's acting ability has skyrocketed.

This was noticed by his theater group and director and we owe it all to Steven. If this was achieved after only two lessons, we can't imagine what we will see with more.

Steven is kind, caring and always prepared. To him, its about the student and giving them the confidence and skills to succeed.

We cannot recommend him more highly!!!

The way you navigate through all of these programs and their discrepancies for applicants is amazing!! Keep doing what you are doing!! You are a fabulous resource to any potential applicant trying to figure out this incredibly crazy process!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you— just wanted to share that we are so impressed with the Monday classes on zoom! And Steve in addition to teaching scene study and improv is really providing much-needed group therapy and having kids talk about their feelings with everything going on right now!

I was lucky enough to work with Steve as both a student and assistant director- you won't find a more encouraging and dedicated teacher. He's pretty much the only person on the planet who will make the audition process genuinely fun as well as successful. I would recommend him to any of my students in a heartbeat. He's the best!

I had the pleasure of working with Steve as both student and colleague. His passion for theatre, experience with the craft, natural enthusiasm, and empathy he shows all who we works with make him an incredible mentor and teacher. He brings out the best in his students by focusing on their strengths while always encouraging them to take risks. Can't recommend Steve enough!

​Steven is amazing - his excitement and passion for working with the kids and encouraging them to achieve their goals. My son Shane has responded to him and his suggestions so well his entire performance has changed since working with Steven. He is more open to expressing himself on stage and his confidence has seen huge improvements. I highly highly highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for an amazing and positive influence for your child !

teve West is one of the most energetic, thoughtful, and encouraging teachers you will ever work with. He will dissect every moment and help you make it better. He will mentor you and show you what an incredible human being you already are. He will jump up and down and let you express all your creative energy in a healthy and productive way. He will help you become a more well-rounded person and performer. Having worked with Steve as his student and as a fellow teacher, I cannot recommend him highly enough!
