Natalia is the most amazing coach and person. Her passion for the craft is her gift to us. Her knowledge and industry experience is the value she brings. She challenges me to push deeper when I have grown both personally and professionally due to her dedication and commitment to delivering well-prepared, industry professionals. Thank you, Natalia!”

“Working with Natalia has put all of my acting pieces together. I’ve been acting since I can remember and I acquired skills that I was able to put to use separately, but as soon as I started working with Natalia they all came together and I am a better actress for it. She has a way with words that just click and make sense. Not only does she help me build my tools for acting, but she helps me build my confidence for auditioning. She’s personable and really knows how to shape the pieces of a puzzle into a beautiful work of art.”

“My daughter, Maddie, began working with Natalia a little over six months ago.  Natalia is more than just an acting coach, although in itself that would be enough.  Natalia is an advisor, counselor, coach, and friend throughout the entire journey.  She’s very accessible both literally and figuratively.  My daughter so looks forward to her sessions and I love to ‘over’ hear the laughter and deep discussion that goes on between them.  I’ve noticed a definite change in how my daughter approaches the process and each piece handed to her.  Whether you’re looking for a way for your child to express him/herself or looking for a savvy teammate to help launch a career, Natalia is the way to go!”

“My daughter Sydney has been working with Natalia since May of 2016.  Sydney had been dedicated to her love of acting for several years and her father and I agreed that she was ready for a private studio to fine-tune her craft.  I am so very pleased to have found NL Acting Studio.  Sydney has grown leaps and bounds since starting working with Natalia.  Sydney’s “confidence tank is full” as Natalia says.  Sydney looks forward to her weekly sessions as well as the NL Acting Studios Master Classes with her peers.  We highly recommend the NL Acting Studio to anyone who is looking for skillful teaching, an honest approach, and quality acting lessons.  Thank you NL Acting Studio!”

“Natalia is an exceptional, dedicated, passionate acting teacher and coach. Natalia is with you every step of the way. Best of all, Natalia teaches in an encouraging and honest way. She has helped me to develop the skills and the tools that I need to pursue a serious acting career. She continually challenges me to grow in my craft, and I love that!! Her guidance and encouragement as I navigate my acting career has been invaluable. She is a true actor’s champion!”

“If you’re looking for the best in the Central Florida area, look no further! Working with Natalia has been one of the best experiences I’ve had since I started trying to break into the industry. I had taken a few different classes before I found her, but none of them had been as beneficial and worthwhile as her course. Not only does she teach you what you need to know, but she also builds your confidence and connects you to other people who will help you further your career! She really guides you and helps you to grasp things on your own, other classes will just throw information at you, but Natalia helps you to understand it and apply it to your acting. I have grown so much since taking her course and I could not have gotten as far as I have without her encouragement and training!”

“Natalia has a distinct ability to connect with her students. She is mindful that each of her students are individuals. She adapts her private lessons in an environment where one can be courageous with their choices. The result is a wonderful discovery of new avenues of expression. You find yourself instinctively trusting and following the actions of that scene. At the end of my lessons, I always leave with a great ‘aha moment’…I love that!”

“Natalia is one of the most passionate people I know. Choosing to work with her has completely changed my life and mindset. As a teenager you NEED someone who can teach, understand you, and have PLENTY of patience. Natalia does just that! She has a beautiful way with her words and how to explain things. Not only does she provide you with the basics but she will help you GROW from those basics and help you form healthy habits and a deeper understanding of the true art of acting. Natalia offers multiple classes that will challenge me and help me grow as an actor like scene studies and group workshops (As well as one one-on-one private). There have been times when I lack confidence but she will continue to push me and have faith in you. She’s a very personable person and has helped me build the confidence and proper tools I need in the real acting world. I am very thankful to have someone as goal-oriented as I am. I am excited to continue working with Natalia as well as building even more tools to help me grow as an actor.”

“NL Acting Studio has been amazing in walking me through my acting journey.  Natalia has taken me from a curious bystander to a more secure and armed actor.  She has taught me the ins and outs of landing an agent and is never too busy to be there!”

“Natalia is hands down THE best at helping actors find their true capabilities. Before working with Natalia and NL Acting Studio, I swore I was strictly a comedic actor. What Natalia has shown me is that I am as versatile as they come. Each class I leave feeling more confident than before I walked in. If you’re looking to stretch your abilities and really challenge yourself to get better, then I recommend working with the best…and the best is Natalia. Her passion for the industry and individualized lessons will have you saying, “WOW. I had no idea I could do that.” I highly recommend Natalia for any actor at any stage in the business.”

“Natalia is an incredible acting mentor. She emphasizes the importance of truth in acting and has created a comfortable and fun environment to learn. Natalia has taught me everything I need to know about acting. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“I would highly recommend NL Acting Studio to any beginning or seasoned actor. Natalia has an amazing gift for understanding what great acting is and guiding/pushing you to get there. Best of all, she is also an amazing human being who genuinely cares for your well-being as a person. Anyone in Florida, who aspires to be an actor- a great actor- should study at NL Acting Studio.”

“I could not be more honored and thrilled to have come across NL Acting Studio. Natalia is hands down the best acting coach I have ever had. She teaches you to be true honest and free. She has helped me overcome obstacles that stand in the way of me being the best actor I can be. If you want to pursue an acting career, I highly recommend NL Acting Studio. Natalia dedicates herself to the actors, going all in. This Is an amazing journey I am on and will continue to be on while learning this craft. Natalia is a beautiful example of what an acting coach should be. I am forever grateful!”

“To experience a private One on One is tremendously elite and a ‘high-end’ way to train and I was so excited and intimidated at the thought of it. But, it makes so much sense if you want to learn a lot quickly and get value and it was the best decision I made as an investment in my career.

Thank you Ms. Natalia for offering this service to the Florida actor. I so appreciate it.”

“Winter Garden is extremely fortunate to have NL Acting Studio located here.

Natalia’s experience, talent, and caliber of teaching should be located in hot spots like New York or California – how blessed we are to have her call Winter Garden home.

Whether you are just beginning your journey in acting or you’ve already traveled many miles on your journey, Natalia will challenge you beyond what you thought you were capable of and she will empower you to stand strong in bold choices. There is always something more you can learn with your craft, and Natalia brings that something more to you EVERY time!”

“To be an actor means to train. It means that one must strive to work hard every day to develop and refine those skills that will help your talent come across and shine in front of a casting director. Training is paramount in one’s career and so too is the person who trains you. An acting coach needs to have knowledge of the craft and have passion for it, but above all, an acting coach must have a genuine desire to see his/her students succeed. This is what you will find at NL Acting Studio.

The opportunity to train with Natalia Leigh has changed my perception of what it means to be an artist. She helps you discover the confidence necessary to trust your instincts while teaching you techniques and skills imperative for great performances. In Natalia, you will find a caring, knowledgeable, talented, empathetic, and professional instructor/mentor who will guide you not just to be a good actor, but to be a great one.”

“Before I had met Ms. Natalia, I felt burdened with the task of following my dreams of becoming an actress despite my lack of knowledge, training, and tools. I felt so desperate because I had absolutely no idea where to start. I did not know the intricacies of the business, and all that it took to make any sort of progress in this industry. I was looking around online for acting schools so that I could get some training and build up my resume and stumbled upon NL Acting Studio. I was a bit hesitant to pay for training as I did not know what would come out of it. I did not know if I would truly reap the benefits. I quickly learned that if this is truly your passion, Investing in yourself is the only answer! The best thing that I could have ever done for my career was join NLAS.

Ms. Natalia’s One-on-one lessons add a level of personalization that is hard to find anywhere else. I leave every lesson feeling like I’ve learned things that are not only valuable towards acting but towards life. She provides me with the connections and tools to take this seemingly impossible dream of mine to the next level. Amongst the amazing training, was her ability to connect me with a top headshot photographer, help me build a proper resume, and even connect me with top agencies in Florida!!

Never in a million years would I have expected to not only learn so much about making my way in this industry but also gain such amazing experiences through my time with her. So yes, I did reap the benefits of investing in myself and I am so blessed to have found her!”.

This process works at NLAS! I released blockages this morning and I turned a corner in this process.

These Method tools are magical!! God bless you and your work.

Your teachings are life-changing for me (for the better).”

“In a world of zoom classes, group classes, and self-tapes, it can be easy to feel lost, or feel like you’re just another number. Feedback on your work isn’t always easy to come by. That’s where the value of one-on-one instruction lies. Through the partnership that develops between teacher and student, both can work together to maximize their time to work together.

I was blessed to be introduced to Ms Natalia through a fellow actor. Her patience, understanding, guidance, and teaching have been invaluable as I progress along my journey as an actor. Her ability to seamlessly juggle her many hats, not just that of acting coach, but also mentor, occasional therapist, and friend has created a safe-space at NL Acting Studio that I cannot recommend enough. I can honestly say that I would not be the actor I am today without her help, and I certainly would not have progressed this far in my career.

Thank you Ms Natalia. Wishing you all the best in the future.”

“It’s important as artists to not only hone our technique but to be open and vulnerable. Sometimes group classes can’t teach you that. To have those one-on-one sessions with Natalia were extremely important for me. Not only for my professional development but for my personal development as well. She goes above and beyond to be a mentor who can guide you, regardless of where you are in your journey. Natalia doesn’t just teach you how to be a better actor, but to look beyond the stage and camera lens. Because that’s where we’ll find truthfulness in our acting: by being a human. Vulnerabilities and all.”
