What Students are Saying
I’m so happy that I found Brooke Totman online. I had been looking for an acting class offered in a convenient Portland location to supplement my previous acting experience. Her classes are fantastic for all skill levels. She provides fun exercises and truly helpful feedback — in an incredibly supportive way. I’ve seen my skills and confidence grow considerably since I started working with her.
Gerie Voss I've done Brooke's beginning class for film, her comedy acting class, and have now been in the advanced class for a few years. I got an agent during this process and am so thankful to have Brooke in my life as a coach. She keeps me motivated, challenges me, helps me grow. Highly recommend her for any level actor. We have so much fun in class. Her direction for actors in scenes is spot on. She gives great adjustments and the right kind of encouragement.
Matt Brown Hands down one of the best acting teachers! Brooke’s classes are so fun she really has a passion and gift in teaching!
