Thats's me.
Hey friend!
I'm Vanessa,
your new acting coach.
I'm Vanessa. I've been a professional actress my whole life and now I also teach. You might have seen me in the first 3 Pirates of the Caribbean films or the 8 year Orbit gum campaign, as its goofy, British spokesperson: Dirty Mouth? This December, I can be seen recurring in DisneyPlus's "Portraits of Delusion". In between my acting I offer the most fun, crazy, creative acting camps and classes you will find. I also coach professional young actors at all different stages of their journey. I have two paths: The Professional and The Learning for Fun.
THE PROFESSIONAL PATH
I coach students working on Films, TV shows, and On and Off Broadway Theater performances. I work on their auditions for major shows and films with directors and actors like Steven Spielberg, Brad Pitt, Susan Sarandon and many, many more. I coach children(and parents), how to get started, help them find agents( I have a 100% success rate), learn to self tape, improve their performances if they are already auditioning, help them to book more work and train them for real life on set. All the while sharing my life long love of this profession and the skills it takes to succeed.
THE LEARNING FOR FUN PATH
Having a 9 year old myself, I know how important it is for our children to have fun while learning. We use our class time to learn the incredible craft of acting through play and imagination. We delve deep into the technique of Film and TV on-camera acting and/or live performance, depending on the class. I prepare kids to pursue this as far as they want to go, whether that be gaining inner confidence, learning a dialect, training to be a you-tube creator or pursuing a career in Broadway or Hollywood.
With over 100 Film and T.V. productions under my belt, I pride myself on my expertise in this business. I am here to be your coach and guide into the fabulous, intriguing world of professional acting.
Hey Friends!

Parent Testimonial
"Our daughter MK was graced to be cast and directed under the amazing Vanessa Branch in "Trolls the Musical". Vanessa wrote and directed the musical masterfully to be age appropriate, to allow each child to feel confident and excited to be performing.
Our daughter, MK was cast as Poppy for the play. It was so humbling when Vanessa personally called us with MK, on a Video chat, to let her know she wanted her to play Poppy.
Vanessa is such a great director and leader. She made sure to take extra time and patience to allow MK to grow into her role and empowered our daughter and the whole cast to be the best they could be at such a young age, performing in front of a sold out crowd of 500.
This was MK’s first play, much less a starring role. Vanessa absolutely elevated our daughter for this part, bringing in a professional voice coach, choreographer, sound crew and more, to make this an absolute success. For months, the after school program was the highlight of all the children's day.
Vanessa is not only an amazing and talented director, she is also very loving and patient when working with children. As parents, we are so thankful to Vanessa for giving our daughter such an amazing experience!"
