What People are Saying
“Lynne is one of the finest coaches I've ever encountered in this business. When I started working with her, I had no real idea how to prepare a film or tv audition – my 20 years in the theatre had in no way set me up for that and I had been bumbling along knowing that I could probably do better but having no idea how. I ended up terrified and demoralized every time I had to make a tape. Within 2 sessions with Lynne the quality of my self-tape auditions had entirely changed, and I began to get much better responses immediately. My mental health has improved because I now have a way to approach those auditions that makes me feel safe and confident, able to be more relaxed and allow my ability to be seen.
Lynne’s teaching has the rare quality of moving you more and more towards a day when you won’t need her, because she has no desire to hold the power of mystery in the relationship – her entire focus is on giving you the knowledge, skills, and power to take responsibility for your own work. I am deeply grateful to have had her in my corner pointing me in the right direction and cheering me on; she is practical, honest, tenacious, and as a bonus she will make you laugh your face off!
She is, quite simply, the best.”

“For many years, Lynne has been a terrific resource for actors on my roster, and she is one of the coaches/teachers that I feel very comfortable recommending to my actors.
As a working actor herself, Lynne fully understands the challenges facing actors in our industry. Her teaching is practical, her knowledge thorough and she really knows how to talk to actors.
I’ve had several very experienced clients, particularly when shifting over from theatre to film and TV, study with Lynne and I’ve heard nothing but great reports about how much they learned from her. She truly helps them navigate the audition process, and always creates a warm & supportive environment that empowers actors and allows them to grow in their craft."

“Lynne Cormack’s class was incredibly pivotal for me in transitioning from stage to film & tv. I appreciate her frank and honest notes that cut through a lot of the fluff I’ve experienced in other acting classes. She’s definitely someone you should go to when you’re missing both that technical aspect and understanding of film & tv scripts.”

“I’ve taken Lynne’s workshops and am so glad I did. She’s a truly gifted instructor - incisive in her observations and crystal clear in her communication. Lynne gives precise individual instruction to improve each actor’s performance while also sharing technical tips and processes that would help at any stage of an actor’s career.
Her wonderful humour and genuine kindness help actors receive her honest, constructive criticism and leave feeling better prepared for their next auditions. If you’re looking to examine and improve your audition technique, I highly, highly recommend Lynne.”

“Lynne has been in the industry teaching for 18+ years. She is one of the acting coaches on the top of my list of recommendations to all actors who come into my office for meetings. I highly recommend the actors on my roster take her “nailing the small role’” course and afterwards my clients all want to take her 2 day intensive.
Every actor has come back to me letting me know of their excellent experience with Lynne. They’ve claimed her courses to be informative and valuable to their advancement in acting, always feeling safe and respected in her classes. ”
