Mason Temple | 譚梅森 back in the studio after many years. Though we got to work together in a real estate capacity recently, which was so surreal given where it all started (in the heat of the pandemic).

Kendra is an all star actor, always bringing the heat, the curiosity, the emotionality and the technique to every single audition.

She also happens to be a friend to the studio🧡

Congratulations on your sweet Guest Star booking for a TV Series!

A sweet new client + some sweet words of gratitude = 🫶🏻

“I found a great backup self-tape coach and studio to use when my go-to one is unavailable.

Nelson Leis of First Glance Studios was very swift, chill, and easy-going, which helped me to relax quickly, and I also loved how we discussed the scene extensively before filming. I felt like I was on a film set, and it really helped me get into my flow state quickly and easily. I didn’t book the role, but I had a really fun time regardless! 😃

If you’re an actor looking for a self-tape studio and coach, then I highly recommend trying him out!”

Thank you ._.la._.via ✨
