Student Success Stories

"Joining StageReady Academy was the best decision I ever made for my acting career. Alistair Davies is an incredible instructor who truly cares about his students. His 'Acting Fundamentals' course gave me the foundation and confidence I needed to audition for professional roles. I recently booked a part in a Steppenwolf Theatre production, and I owe it all to StageReady!"

"As a shy and introverted individual, I never thought I would be able to perform on stage. But Bianca Rossi's 'Contemporary Dance' class at StageReady Academy completely changed my perspective. Her patient and encouraging teaching style helped me break out of my shell and discover the joy of movement. I'm now part of a local dance troupe and feel more confident than ever before!"

"Seraphina Moreau's 'Vocal Performance Workshop' was a game-changer for my singing. I had always struggled with breath control and vocal projection, but Seraphina's expert guidance helped me overcome these challenges. Her techniques are practical and effective, and she creates a supportive learning environment. I'm now singing lead vocals in a band and pursuing my dream of becoming a professional musician!"
