TESTIMONIALS

"Connecting with my breath was always a struggle for me - so imagine my surprise during Lisa's class when I suddenly felt my entire body resonating for the first time, and easily!  Her grace, expertise, and ease with students facilitate an environment where you feel comfortable bringing your whole self to the game.  Work with Lisa accesses deeper levels of performance, and I recommend her instruction for anyone invested in this craft."

Anna Bullard, Equity Actress

"Lisa Anne Porter is truly a master teacher.  Her teaching will give you another level of access to your imagination, connection to text, and vibrant emotional life.  Taking her classes has given me a much deeper and more rewarding experience of my craft and of my life, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her teaching to any actor who has a serious commitment to the development of his or her craft." 

Kate Willett, Actress

"Lisa was the top recommendation of teachers at Shakespeare and Company for voice and acting lessons in the Bay Area.  After taking several courses with her I can see why.  You get the benefit of the Linklater voice work AND Lisa’s wonderful ability to bring out the best in everyone.  You’ll be affirmed and stretched.  She’s earned my trust and deep respect for her teaching ability and acting expertise.  Being with her is fun, too."    

Susan Neville,Actress

"In my work as a lawyer I was sometimes out of breath and disconnected from what I was saying in the courtroom.  The voice work with Lisa allowed me to relax, find better breath support, and speak with better tone.  I felt more connected to my real voice.  I would say that if your work includes persuading, instructing, inspiring or presenting then you will do all of those things with more clarity and authenticity after working with Lisa."

Paul Loomis, lawyer

"I am a retired teacher, and I always believed that I had good speaking skills!  However, your knowledge of the human voice and breath is phenomenal!  You are a wonderful teacher and coach!  The very BEST!"
