TESTIMONIALS

The best measure of any acting coach isn't what they say about themselves or their clients, it's what their clients say about them.

Since 2006, actors have come to BLS looking for honest feedback, clear technique, and a supportive community. Here's what they found.

"Braden is the real deal and takes his time to get you into that emotional state at whatever level you're at. He has gone out of his way to help whenever I need it and is incredibly supportive and wants the best for his students. Works with all levels and is amazing at getting you where you need to be before auditions and for character prep."

"I have never had a coach like Braden. I trust him, I know he believes in me, and I know he's going to help get the best performance out of me. I can't wait to thank him up on that Emmy's stage one day."

"Coaching with Braden changed my life. He gave me the space to be vulnerable, truthful, and helped guide me to the promised land. Braden is an amazing teacher, and I owe my success as an actor to him."

"Simply put, Braden is a fantastic teacher. He's kind, inventive and extremely effective. Truly wonderful, down-to-earth and caring. I recommend him to any level of actor from beginner to seasoned veteran."

"Working with Braden was the turning point in my career. He doesn’t throw your former training to the wind and judge it, rather he hones in all the special and unique magic you’ve created over the years and really gets into the detail and specificity of your process. Many times we as actors hit roadblocks with our craft, creativity, and scene breakdowns. Braden always finds a way to help create YOUR 'in' that is specific to you and truly elevates your performance, connection, and abilities within the scene."
