Julia is amazing, I've been looking forward to every class ever since I started my journey with FACTOR. You won't get the same level of connection with your coach anywhere else. I've done some audition coaching and career consultations with Julia, and it helped me update my portfolio and sign with amazing theatrical agents! I highly recommend Julia for all actors out there or basically anyone who's interested in acting.

I'm not the one to write reviews, but I do believe that Julia's classes changed my life. I've been noticing a significant reduction in anxiety in my personal life and at work, I feel like I understand people better and connect with them on a new level now. Lot's of great tips and tricks about breath and controlling your nerves in the everyday hectic and busy life of a business owner. Thank you Julia!

As a blogger, I wanted to try acting classes for a while but I was a bit skeptical about the online format. Boy, was I wrong! Julia has everything so well-thought that it makes perfect sense and saves you time so you can actually focus more on your growth. Her exercises are so helpful. I know spend five times less time on shooting my content, my memory improved and my confidence is strengthened. I highly recommend FACTOR to all digital creators out there!
