"People new to the business, take note of the find that is Cynthia Bain. In a field brimming with self-promoting blowhards and pseudo-psychologists, she is quite simply the clearest, most direct and engaging teacher with whom I've ever worked. Hardnosed insight without hysteria; passion tempered with PRACTICALITY -- did I mention that she is actually IN movies? A passel of 'em. MARK IT: this class presents an opportunity for you or your child that is NOT TO BE MISSED."

"Working with Cynthia is such a pleasure. She is extremely skilled at teaching the craft of acting, especially to young actors. She is industry savvy and knows what casting directors and producers are looking for and is able to convey this to her students in a way that makes sense to them. Bottom line: her clients work."

"Cynthia is the best performance coach I have worked with. She knows how to talk to kids and get the best out of them. She challenges her actors to be the best they can be. She's a great presence on the set and was invaluable to me on the show."
Susie Mains

"There is only one acting coach that I totally trust to take my clients to the next level and that is Cynthia Bain. These are serious acting classes that produce results in a nurturing yet challenging environment. The kids learn the skills to get them to the set and keep them there. Cynthia is so good she's like a great restaurant- you almost want to keep her a secret."

"Cynthia is one of the top coaches when it comes to young actors. I can trust that anyone I send to her will improve 10 fold. I've seen her take a kid that really doesn't get a character and help them to turn into that character. Not by giving them line readings, but by giving them the tools to use to figure out where a character comes from and how they can make it their own. In addition to being a great acting coach, she really gets this business and makes sure that her students get it too."

"I've been fortunate enough to observe some of Cynthia Bain's classes, and I am so impressed with the safe and creative environment offered at her acting studio. Teenagers want to experiment, and we parents dread some of what that can mean in these times - Cynthia's classes provide a place for our kids to be anything, everything - and yet come home safe, enriched, and encouraged. Cynthia Bain's Young Actor Studio has my highest endorsement."

"Cynthia Bain is the best acting teacher and coach for young actors. She is truly a “child whisperer” when communicating with young actors, and she produces results that are truly phenomenal. Cynthia has turned countless young actors into successful, working professionals. Her close relationships with the television networks and major studios means that she constantly knows what they are looking for, and she is able to effectively translate that to the benefit of her students. Not only do I have her train my most valued clients, but my own daughter as well."
