Our Actors work in Major Film + Television Projects in LA

Bill Beckwith

Praise for Nancy: Nancy’s has taught me to be myself, to trust that “I am enough” and to enjoy the process of acting. I have complete confidence in her as a teacher. I’ve never enjoyed acting as much as I have with Nancy. There is a sense of professionalism in Nancy’s class that I haven’t found anywhere else, I feel more prepared to audition and book jobs than ever before. Maybe there is something there you could use. Thanks,

Another amazingly unusual thing about First Take, is the group of ordinary people who walk together in this journey. We all choose to be apart of this business; this is our work of choice. You’ll meet the most hard working and diverse pool of dedicated actors here at First Take. People here are true friends at heart and have created a wonderful support network.

Looking back, my first experience as a student at First Take, was overwhelming. Coming in, I thought I knew a bit about acting, when in fact I barely had an understanding of the “work” process of acting. It took quite a while and a dedication to myself to really try to figure what this was all about. Week after week, I felt like an observer rather than a participant. Oftens times, I would watch, in amazement, other students’ “work” with careful guidance from Nancy and her what-sounds-to-be-easy method of acting. Proving that doing your “homework” really does work. I’ve been a student for a bit over 3 years, now. Don’t let that fool you, because this class is repetitively difficult for all who are in it. I am constantly reminded to be challenged and work hard.”
