TESTIMONIALS
Working with students and industry professionals from a variety of backgrounds has given me exposure to how universal the principles I teach are. I collected a few testimonies highlighting my heart for the study, the art and the people who come to learn from this discipline.
Ms. Altesa has fun infectious energy that got my son excited about the art of acting. He looked forward to each class. Highly recommended!
-Pia S., Parent
Altesa was very patient, encouraging, and supportive. Any student interested in learning warm ups, relaxation techniques, range, etc. will benefit from this focused experience.
-Choice A. Parent
My daughter had a great time in Altesa's 4-day intensive class. She has a well thought out class structure and my kid said she learned quite a bit, was more confident in her monologue, got great tips, and thought the teacher was very engaging and knowledgable. I also really appreciated the post-class feedback and assessment. We would definitely sign up for another class with Altesa again in the future.
-Tonya L., Parent
As a teacher, Altesa has a myriad of attributes- the two that I find the most useful - and the hardest to find among teachers- are patience and an exquisite balance between stepping in and letting kids go.

Altesa has a wonderful ability to connect with students. Truly a gift to have her.

Altesa's class was amazing! It was fun and educational at the same time. My daughter thoroughly looked forward to "Acting Through History" every week. Each class was well organized and thought out. If you enjoy acting or are looking to try something new this is a great for everyone. There were exercises each week that really helped get the creative thinking going. My daughter learned more acting techniques and benefited from learning a period of history she was not familiar with. Altesa's Joy of teaching the subject and sparkling personality shined through. We were sad the class ended and will be looking forward to taking future classes by her.-Tara, Parent
Ms. Altesa is the ultimate professional and a truly talented teacher. Her positive energy keeps the learners engaged and while providing constructive feedback. She challenges students by asking them to take a deeper dive into their performance pieces. She was able to instantly make them feel comfortable sharing with others and fostered confidence in performing. My daughter can't wait for this class each evening.
