"I met Victoria in 2014 at a Meisner Scene Study Class in NYC. I couldn’t stop watching her act because she made it look easy. Her work was organic and honest. Fast forward to 2022 and I’m doing private coaching sessions with her. She intuitively knows what I need and the work we do together has allowed me to trust myself more. Victoria was trained by teachers who were taught directly by Sanford Meisner, so her foundation in acting, specifically the Meisner technique, is solid. I’ve been saying this for years; Victoria Maria is one of my most favourite Canadian actors".
JB can be seen on The Sinner (NBC), Diggstown (CBC), and the upcoming Jason Eisener film Kids VS Aliens.
"Classes with Victoria opened up a completely new approach towards acting for me. I never felt so truthful in my acting as with the Meisner technique. The passion and clear way Victoria teaches or directs you is not only a lot of fun but also eye opening. I’ve been taking her workshops for more than a year now and can’t wait to get back in studio."
Aarya can be seen on season four of In the Dark on the CW.
"Victoria has helped me find confidence as an actor over and over again. She challenges you to go further, and creates such a warm and safe environment that makes it easy to take risks and explore your craft. Victoria is my go to for coachings, classes, workshops and has such an array of knowledge and tools that she's shared with her students. Plus, she's working and auditioning constantly herself, it's a gift to have a coach that is active in the industry. Thank you, Victoria!"
Jasmine Toombs can be seen in episodes of Hotel Paranormal, See No Evil, and multiple commercials!
"I am so grateful that I took a chance and started classes with Victoria! Approaching film was terrifying to me at first, but Victoria created such a safe, positive and fun space that made me feel comfortable to make mistakes and be vulnerable. I have grown so much in just one year with her, and I really feel like I have the tools and resources for success in the film industry thanks to her. I would recommend her over and over!"
