Lea is a gift to any actor she works with and to the world at large. She understands that each is a unique individual and is able to find and hone in on their talents.

Lea is a master of her craft...  She helps her students to find more comfort and ease in themselves, and that is beneficial to us as humans, not just as artists.

There is no one else like her, and I feel so blessed to know and work with this talented actress, director, and acting coach extraordinaire.

Lea's love and guidance changed my life. The amount of time and energy that she puts into each of her students is unmatched. 

Lea learned from the best, which has made her one of the best. Studying with her can be scary, but also incredibly fun. She knows how to help you face whatever you are struggling with, when to keep pushing you and when to take it easy. 

Lea gets you where you need to be. I have made lifelong friends in Lea’s class.  She has become family to me, and I thank God everyday for her being in my life.

Lea's passion and drive for my success gave me the strength to move through my fear and find myself in my acting.  

Lea tailors her coaching to meet your needs. She sees the actor you are before you do, and she will pull that actor out of you! She challenges you to be the best version of yourself, because she sincerely wants your dreams to come true.

Lea is a textbook case study in observing and adjusting. Within two weeks, she knew all my acting tricks... We worked out the kinks through examination of strong technique, carefully selected and targeted scene study, and one-on-one tutelage that changed the kind of actor that I am. Above all, she's warm, forgiving, intuitive, hilarious, well-connected, and a treasure to know and love.

Lea Floden is the single most influential, life-altering coach I have ever worked with. I absolutely would not be the actor or human being I am today without Lea. 

Lea helped me prepare for my first professional project. She made me feel safe and ready in a challenging, emotionally strenuous role, and gave me invaluable advice on how to navigate the rehearsal process & communicate with the professionals around me.

Lea is exceptionally dedicated to her students. She has a way of knowing exactly how to tailor your training to YOU, even in group settings. Her vast firsthand knowledge of acting practices and techniques is unparalleled. She treats her students with respect and kindness while holding them accountable to being the best they can be.

Lea REALLY cares. She goes above and beyond the call of duty. Always. I cannot say enough good things about Lea Floden. If you have the opportunity to train with Lea, DO IT. It will change your life, and you will not regret it.

Aside from being an amazingly generous, patient and kindhearted person, Lea is one of the most observant, inspiring, and ingenious teachers I have ever met.

Not working with Lea Floden would mean missing out on an unbelievable opportunity to grow as an actor and person. 

She is unique and undeniably brilliant in her craft. 

I highly recommend her.

Lea truly sees you for who you are. She knows how to work with you and embellish every accent of your talent. If you trust her and her process, you are truly in the best hands.

Lea has helped me become my most authentic, truest self as an actor and a person. She loves and cares like no other teacher loves and cares. I’ve never felt so prepared and driven to act.
