Karen Rodriguez

Actor, "Spider-Noir", "Hunting Wives"

"Indrani makes me feel safe to plug into my most vulnerable truth in the scene, and she creates a safe place to do it.

I think she prioritizes the visceral aspect of acting. It's very easy when you're in a rush because of shooting schedules, and last minute auditions to get in your head, when actually acting is all about the gut and the heart"

Assia Lau'ren

Actress, "My Dead Friend Zoe"

"Indrani is the best! She is not like a lot of people in this industry who prey on inexperience. She takes the craft seriously and has a way of delivering technique notes that feel like a therapy session. At this studio you won’t feel like you’re being molded to be like everyone else, you’ll feel like you’re being honed to be the best version of yourself.

Indrani has a tough love approach that challenges you while also ensuring you feel safe."

Samuel S. Franklin

Actor, "Girl You Know It's True", "Turncoat"

"I used to believe my 'natural ability' made me a master. Then I took Indrani's class. Her truly unorthodox methods were'nt what I expected, but they completely changed my understanding of the art form. This experience was transformative, showing me what was actually possible and unlocking potential I didn't know I had"

Hakeem Jomah

Actor, "Kandahar" "Desert Warrior"

"When I was still trying to navigate this CRAZY industry, I happened upon Indrani; this fearless, fun loving, NO nonsense, don't-give-me-no-BS instructor that taught me SO much, but one thing sticks with me to this day:

You're in the business of rejection, no one owes you the part. You want to be a baller shot caller? Buck up and do the work.

And I did the work, and through it Indrani has been (and still is) my coach, my compass, my shrink, and (more often than not) the slap in the face when I thought of slowing down."

Serious professional acting training in a supportive, artist-centered environment.
