What can Kerry Lea NOT do? She is an amazing acting coach! She is sooo much fun to work with. I've worked with Kerry for a year and a half and have so much passion for her. (... I can write a whole novel about Kerry, she's so cool!!!)

Zoe Correa - age 10 Actress/ Model

I can't believe how much I love school. Thisis a weird new thing for me, and I love it! Sometimesit re-hits me that I get to breathe, listen, and watch the world go round in New York. My friend and I were walking around and it hit me as I was looking and feeling all the energy around me how AMAZINGLY LUCKY I AM. I mean, wow, wandering around New York let me feel things more openly. It was the perfect afternoon: cool, crisp, and smelled like crushed leaves and cinnamon. Going to school and being free to experience so much leaves me feeling full. I have to go home and MAKE something to let out all my energy. school is the best thing that could have happened to me. it has made me feel much more and create more. I cannot believe I have this dream in my hand, only its a reality.

Love, Kaela

We were recommended to Kerry Lea by a friend of my daughters. After she took her first workshop with Kerry, Lauren had so much fun she asked me when the next one is.  Lauren learned so much in the 4 hours that she spent with Kerry she can't wait to come back again. So, Kudos to you.  Thanks Kerry, for making Laurens day such a blast.  She cannot believe how much she learned.

Thanks again for a great and fun experience.

-Lauren Coccaro (10, actress) and mom too.

Thank you for your class. I am so happy because of you. Your class made me into a very strong actress. I really appreciate what you did for me. If it wasn't for you I would still be shy in front of the camara. In the future, I'm sure the skills I have will help me become a star. Thank you Kerry Lea!

You can take anything away from me but not my acting with Kerry Lea.

-Gilad, 8, actor, to his mom

Meeting Kerry Lea has been one of the best things to happen to my children. They simple adore her. When they first started out, they were very shy.  Through her brilliant smile, encouraging words and excellent teaching methods, she has managed to open up a whole new world for them. They are eager to go out on auditions and enjoy being part of her class. They have learned so much from Kerry. She rocks!!

-Maggie Madden, mom of Christopher, 8 model/actor and Kim, 11 actress

Before my son started Kerry's class (three years ago) he was shy and introverted with little to no confidence. By attending Kerry's private/group classes she has changed all that. He is now out going and we can't shut him up. The kid is funny...who knew?  He now has a great manager and freelances with four agencies has even booked jobs.  Kerry is the greatest! We love her.

-Love VF, (Alex's mom)

Kerry Lea is the best. She helped prepare my son for an agent call and he did a wonderful job! The agent loved him.  Kerry not only gives the child a lesson about sides and monologues, she boosts their confidence to do the best job they can do!  I wish we lived closer to the city, so we could be with Kerry Lea more often!

-G. Miers, PA

My daughter just ADORES Kerry and has learned so much both in individual and group settings.. traveling from PA takes some coordination but the effort is necessary as she is simply the best in both of our eyes!!!!

-Love, Lynda, mom of Ashley age 7 (PA)

My young daughter is a successful model who wanted to try acting, but did not project well. We took her to several teachers, and met with little success. Then we found Kerry. Her warmth and kind touch have already helped out daughter begin to feel comfortable. Thanks Kerry!

-NJ Mom

There's too much to say besides how much she has helped me in the vast world of acting.

-Cohlie Brocato, loving student and actor, 14

Kerry's classes are the best! She makes acting so much fun that every class I love it even more. Kerry makes everyone feel comfortable and you make a ton of new friends. She's so sweet and fun that I look forward to class every single week no matter how tired I am that day. My first day of class was so much fun because shes so welcoming. Kerry Rocks!

To walk into the holy door of Kerry's office, is saying alot. To be taught
acting by Kerry Lea, inside her office, is everything!!! Then to top it off!!
Her Classes are the greatest thing ever since Albert Einstein!! Kerry is the
coolest person and made me into a cool person after being a loser for 13
years. Thank you Kerry and you are a real inspiration to kids and teens like
me!!

I found out about Kerry by doing a search on the internet. She is so nice.
All the kids dig her. My friend's daughter, who gets bored very easily,
finds working with Kerry very interesting. Her son got 2 auditions after 5
or 6 classes! I'll be signing up her other son and my niece for the next 8
week course.
