AMBER BOHAC (Co-owner)
Amber Bohac moved to Los Angeles at just 18 years old, signing with an agent her first week in town and soon landing a booking on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno—throwing knives, no less, a skill she learned from her father, a martial arts master, when she was just three.
She’s spent the past two decades empowering performers to trust their instincts, lean into their strengths, and show up fully. Amber's coaching journey began early—first as an intern, then as an assistant, and quickly growing into a leadership role. She began running group classes, facilitating intensives, and supporting top-tier industry professionals in high-level workshops. Along the way, she trained under some of the best coaches in the business and developed her own signature approach: one rooted in technical precision, heartfelt support, and honest, actionable feedback.
Her coaching goes far beyond performance technique. Amber empowers actors with the real-world insight needed to build sustainable, fulfilling careers—or simply to grow into more confident, creative human beings. Even if her students don’t pursue acting long-term, the tools they gain—courage, discipline, and joy—stick with them for life.
Amber has a gift for working with young actors. A kid at heart herself, she creates a space where they feel instantly seen, supported, and inspired. Her students leave sessions confident, capable, and excited to shine—whether it’s their first audition or their fiftieth.
She’s coached talent who have gone on to star alongside Oscar-winning A-listers, as well as those landing their very first credits on networks like Nickelodeon, Disney, NBC, ABC, CBS, and Freeform—not to mention countless national commercials.
Amber’s reach extends far beyond Los Angeles. She has worked with students from across the globe, including Australia, Canada, Europe, the UAE, and she is a trusted recommendation from agents and managers in every major U.S. market.
Fast facts:
Amber grew up performing musical theatre in one of the original Warner Brothers theaters.
She’s a trained dancer, singer, actor—and stuntwoman.

Amber truly loves what she does and considers it an honor to be a part of her students’ journeys. Her mission is simple:
