PATA Monologue Prep Workshop
"Lydia’s coaching style is a combination of personalized care, thoughtful feedback, and attention to detail that is arguably unrivaled in the Portland Metro area. She inspires and empowers her students to make choices outside of their comfort zones; and (in doing so) they thrive in audition and performance settings, thanks largely in part to Lydia’s extensive experience and her genuine dedication to helping them reach their goals. Whether you are new to the theater/film scene, or a seasoned veteran, I cannot recommend Lydia Ellis-Curry highly enough. "

“I have enjoyed the Vision8 classes I took this past year. I especially liked the classes I did with Lydia Ellis-Curry. Her upbeat, positive way of instructing and Lydia’s real world experience as an actress are wonderful. It seems my acting has improved to the point that I was able to get coaching from Lydia for my 'Pata General Audition’ this year. She is great!”

"As of writing this review, I've taken two classes here: Adv. Character Development with Erik and the Monologue Audition class with Lydia. They were fantastic! Both were patient, knowledgeable instructors who connect with actors of all levels. Highly recommended you take their courses. Excited to take their classes again after I graduate from PSU."
