Lisa Picotte  

SUCCESS STORIES

 

   

Haley Ramm"I remember sitting in the first class I ever took with Lisa and she said, "if you're here to be famous then leave. If you're here to be a serious and hard working actor then welcome." She knew that fame may be a byproduct but should never be the goal. Lisa and David are the only coaches I've had since moving to LA 6 years ago. We've become a team that works together and knows what works best. They're both talented actors in their own right who understand the business, the audition process and what it takes to truly succeed."
