First Take got me back on track, and then some. It’s a safe place to do dangerous things

First Take is a gracious gym for your acting and creative muscles.

Without the things I’ve learned from class and from other actors’ stories, I wouldn’t have gotten that letter!

And here I am two years later with a recurring guest star role, on a major network television show

Within the first (6) months of studying at FirstTake with Nancy, I saw my commercial booking rates increase dramatically.

Nancy and the First take team have given me the ability to produce better acting/being–I notice that during every audition I have.

Anybody thats wants to be an actor should definitely take a dose of Nancy’s (First Take) acting class and stick to it!

First take has played a huge part in my development as an actor.

First Take Acting stands at the pinnacle of actor’s training! In the past few years, my career has absolutely exploded…

I’ve had the pleasure of attending First Take Acting for several years now – both in person and online – and it has been nothing short of a groundbreaking journey

I know that I would not be where I am today if it was not for joining First Take.

…what makes First Take unimitatable, undeniable and irreplaceable. The people that stand with you

In less that two years I have booked roles in eight TV shows and two major films

Nancy Berwid is an incredible teacher. Period.

With Nancy at First Take you can become that authentic actor…

It was through the First Take method and her wonderful teaching that I was able to grow tremendously as an actor and develop my craft.

Words can not express how happy I am to have found such an amazing place that never fails to teach, push, and inspire me each and every day.

First Take is more than an acting school, it’s an entire introduction and launchpad into the film and TV industry.

…in the last couple of years, working on my craft at First Take with Nancy, Susan, and Danny, I’ve begun to confidently bring myself into my work without second-guessing it.

…just by showing up in class I am inspired by my classmates. 

I look back to day one and think about the immense growth I have taken since then, not only as an actor, but personally as well.

First Take has totally and completely changed my life!

First Take is such an amazing acting school with amazing resources. With every class that I go to, I learn so much and get new ideas for how to look at scenes and acting in general.

I’ve been with First Take for over 3 years now and it’s humbling to see how much I’ve learned and grown through time.

I am now busy auditioning booking roles in LA and doing it all while still living in the Bay Area!

Because of the discipline and knowledge given to me by Nancy, I am where I am in my life and my career.

I am now busy auditioning booking roles in LA and doing it all while still living in the Bay Area!

My bookings are due in part to Nancy’s support and amazing acting technique.

Little did I know that I would soon have a brilliant manager, and on top of that, an agent!

Steven J. Young "Never in my wildest imaginations did I expect to ever book a role on network television; I did just that thanks to Nancy's guidance and tutelage." Through my training...

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.

It’s a lot of work, but it’s extremely rewarding because I am continuously growing as an actor and person & always stimulated.

Nancy ‘s ability to recognize and diagnose the areas of your game that you need to improve upon is a unique gift that she is very generous with.

Nancy Berwid’s, “First Take” classes are for the actors who want to ready themselves for the LA market

Nancy is the real deal! This class is for the actor who is serious about becoming competitive with those who are already booking in L.A

In every class with First Take, I am inspired by the talented and dedicated actors surrounding me.

The best decision I’ve made with my acting career was to join Nancy in the First Take classes…

Nancy showed me how to get the tools I needed to make it in this crazy business.

Nancy is a phenomenal instructor!

Nancy’s class teaches a nice set of tools to use in preparing for film and TV auditions

I realized that this was the class I had been looking for my entire career…

As a result of Nancy’s teaching and encouragement, I booked the very first SAG film audition I went on!

Nancy is unique in offering a combination of superb teaching and mentoring.

Nancy, your audition class has been an amazing journey for me.

For me Nancy Berwid’s class is a must have. She’s teaching me to find the magic in the script.

I have learned more about acting from you than any other school, conservatory, etc. from NYC to LA.

Because of her persistence and teaching, I booked my first job at 13.

I was called in for a role on ER! And, I booked it!

Nancy ‘s class is the best tv/film audition class you can get.

In Nancy’s class, if you put the work in, you absolutely will improve

She shows us how to access the magic and dynamic beauty of each individual’s experience expressed…

Nancy helps students breaks bad habits, teaches social etiquette in auditions and coaches students through scene work.

Nancy has shared her wealth of knowledge week after week on the how-to’s of Hollywood.

I joined FirstTake, and this year I auditioned for a lead role in a pilot. Need I say more?

I am booking more work now than in the past 2 years!

Nancy Berwid has given me a solid and yet simple methodology that helped me to create a foundation to the ‘work’ as an actor.
