An Acting Studio - Los Angeles, California

Stephanie Harper

I met Indrani in 2020 when I decided to adventure into a different field of creativity and self-expression that I wasn't used to but had a feeling I would love: acting. I had been a dancer and dance instructor my entire adult life and instantly recognized the value behind Indrani's approach. It challenged me to my core and fueled a spark that I didn't even know was there until I started taking her feedback and recognizing the changes in not only my acting, but in me as a human.

Fast forward over the following four years - I had to choose a different field due to Covid and then had a life-threatening injury that took me out. During that unbelievably difficult time, Indrani and I stayed in touch and not only was I constantly thinking about acting and getting back to it, but she was always cheering me on - even though I wasn't even able to take regular classes due to my injury! She believed in me and that meant the world. And the entire time she reminded me.. "your pain is your power, you will use this one day for your acting". And she was right!

Indrani isn't just a coach for right now - Indrani Desouza is a coach forever. Her belief in me during the hardest years of my life helped me maintain hope and now that I am on the other side of it all, I am happy to say that I am finally following my passion and Indrani is my go-to for any questions and extra training that I need! Indrani, you are a blessing to my life and to this world - thank you!!

Indrani is an amazing coach!
She has a deep, astute ability to understand the human experience/emotion and does a fabulous job of communicating and directing us to find our own authentic expression.

The studio itself incorporates a well-rounded approach that includes technique (Uta Hagen), community and industry exposure.

I’ve grown so much as artist and person over the years learning from her! So grateful 🙂

Highly recommend this space and community if you’re ready to take it to the next level and grow.

I've been studying under Indrani for quite some time now, and let me tell you that I've grown so much in my craft. Indrani's way of teaching really gets you to think outside of the box as an actor. You will grow in how you prepare yourself. Character work is a big thing here, and if you're looking for an excellent acting coach, I would stop here! 😉 Look no further

Indrani is the best acting coach I have ever worked with in Hollywood! She is so skilled at teaching the craft and her humanity makes her approach authentically unique. Indrani’s guidance continues to expand my evolution as an artist and actor. I cannot imagine anyone pursuing a professional acting career without her by your side. An Acting Studio is not just another acting class, it is a community of incredibly loving talented hard working people and its a true reflection of her mentorship. I couldn’t recommend her more as the teacher you need to start booking!

Indrani is the best!!! I was so intimidated to start acting class as I was completely new to the craft, but Indrani fosters such a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment. She caters to each student's skillset by truly getting to know them and their goals/obstacles. Through her guidance, expertise, and techniques, I have grown so much not only as an actor, but as a person overall! Thank you for your continuous support, Indrani!
