TESTIMONIALS

"Megan Larche is a wonderful acting coach for kids. She knows how to take the natural instincts that an actor has and build on the material from there instead of just telling the actor how to act. She is patient, and really takes the time to make sure that the actor understands what they will be trying to get across in an audition. Coming from a casting background, she knows what directors and producers are looking for, and can guide an actor to be confident when they walk into any audition. Whether it is a private or group lesson, kids will gain the tools they need to make auditioning a positive (and successful) experience."
- Rachel Altman, Children/Young Adults Theatrical Division at Abrams Artists Agency

"I love working with Megan Larche because I trust her experience and background and I know students will learn from that. It's one thing to know what you're doing in this business, it's another skill set to be able to translate that to other people and help others along in this business. She's kind of an all purpose theatre business women as a producer, educator and casting director. Few can excel in all those areas. She has a way of making actors of all ages feel at ease when they enter the room. She has a special gift with kids where many people don't have the patience."
- Paul Canaan, Director of Take It From The Top, takeitfromthetop.org


"Megan Larche is an incredibly gifted teacher. She excels in a wide variety of disciplines, ranging from musical theatre audition technique to on-camera cold readings. Megan is able to get her point across in a way that is both constructive and friendly. We are very fortunate to have her on our faculty."
- Michelle Lehrman, Admissions Director at Broadway Artists Alliance, broadwayartistsalliance.org


"My ten year old daughter has been seeing Megan Larche for coaching and I've been so pleased with the results. Megan's experience as a casting director allows her to appreciate the natural acting abilities of a child. She encourages development with subtle techniques and does not feed lines. I've noticed a leap in Madeleine's pacing and cadence, which only adds to her performance and auditions, but allows Madeleine to stay a real kid."
- Julie Yen, Mother

"Megan has a real way with kids. To see her wrangle a whole theater full of Lion King Kids is fantastic--she keeps them all under control and, more importantly, at ease so they can do their best auditions. It makes a potentially traumatizing event fun and memorable for them--I know none of them ever forget their day with "Miss Megan".
