Zohar Wexler

Actor

Vernice Klier is not only an acting coach, but a life coach! Private lessons with Vernice were the most intense and challenging I could have imagined from any acting course, even a long-term course.
To build trust in such a short period of time is truly a talent. I remember thinking how fortunate I was to have come across such a great teacher; one who not only guides me, but shows me the tools I have inside myself. How great it is to have discovered those!
Vernice is delightful and full of enthusiasm for her work, making us the best we can be.

Katerina Khramova

Getting free, creating a safe place to take risks, working simply and honestly, these are all values Vernice looks for in the actor. Starting from an honest kernel and taking it to performance level.
Vernice creates a safe and nurturing environment conducive to exciting work. And the work by fellow actors was something to emulate.

I had the incredible opportunity to study with Vernice when, as soon as I turned 18, I moved to Los Angeles to enroll at LAPAC where I met her. Working with Vernice not only improved my English and my American accent, but it made me more confident when I would go out to audition. I totally recommend her, she will enhance your career and your life. I feel so lucky to have crossed paths with her! GRAZIE VERNICE!
Federico Pedroni

Actor, Italy

Vernice is fearless which is a very powerful position to adopt as a performer and invaluable as a coach. She is able to pinpoint an actor’s areas of weakness and give you immediate and practical tools to help you solve the problem.
I recommend Vernice highly if you have an important audition or simply need to develop or refine the skills you need to succeed as a professional performer.

Kamala Lopez

Actress and director, Heroicafilms

Vernice Klier is an absolute godsend for actors . A master of movement, language skills and acting. Vernice is exceptionally gifted in helping actors remove obstacles and freeing the artist to give their best to their craft.
Joel Marshall

Actor and Producer

The work I did with Vernice Klier gave me some very precious and useful skills to be aware of in front of a camera. I would have never found them by myself, and I feel very grateful that she did it with such acuteness and love. She helped me for auditions, in a very short time, as well as for long-term work on building a character for a film.
I’m very happy to get back to her, because I know I will always learn something new about acting, and, more over, about myself.
