I cannot recommend First Take highly enough.  The teachers are absolutely fantastic at working with new and experienced actors to build and hone their skill.  Nancy has helped me develop a much deeper understanding of the craft which has allowed me to access parts of myself that I thought had been lost to me.  While I’ve developed to the point that I’m competitive for the roles I’d like, I also know how much farther I need to go.  And I know this is the place I need to be to get there.  First Take has created a community with an environment and culture of support, encouragement, and kindness and I’m grateful to be part of it.  Acting as a career can be a tough journey but there is no other community I’d rather go through this with.  If you truly want professional level training, while also in a supportive and positive environment, you need to come be a part of First Take.
