“Aimee is a wonderful teacher and coach, whether you’re a green auditioner or seasoned veteran. She helps me deepen my work by finding layers and specificity. When I feel lost in my auditions, she’s simultaneously a safety net, a fuzzy blanket, and glass window of clarity. I’m so grateful to be able to learn from her.”

“Aimee is incredibly intuitive and intelligent about helping me find a way into a character, and she is great at collaborating in a way that lets me take ownership of the ideas—I never feel like she’s prescribing ideas. I also appreciate her understanding of subtle differences that can help different styles of writing for television. Plus, she is patient, supportive and damn witty.”

“Aimee is an incredible acting coach who has worked with me on auditions, my film Daughter, and Star Trek Discovery! I love her clear communication and warm caregiving energy. She’s a safe and reliable person and I highly recommend you try her virtual or in-person coaching sessions.”

“Acting with Aimee is acting with a dear friend. What sets her apart from other Coaches I’ve worked with is her ability to listen to the actor. So many teachers adhere to the one size fits all method of acting, yet she’s able to look at a person, see his authentic self, and pull that out for the performance. And, she has fed me more birthday cake oreos than should be allowed by the UN. She’s magical.”

“Aimee has the ability to make a coaching/taping session incredibly comfortable, whether you’re just starting out or have been in the business for a while. She sets the tone to allow you to make bold choices that will set you apart and, most importantly, have fun with them. Unlike my experience anywhere else, Aimee doesn’t push one method on you and allows for an open, collaborative conversation. There is a genuine love and care with her that is hard to come by. You will never regret booking with Aimee! ”

“I’ve been coached by Aimee for years. She’s that rare coach who can meet you where you are and make you better. She has coached me from booking co-stars to guest-stars and recurring to series regular. ”

“There are no words to express the love and gratitude I have for Ms. Aimee! She has taught me so much these past 5 years! Not only is she an amazing coach, but an amazing person who is someone I hold dear in my heart. She has pushed me to work hard, give 100% and present my best self in every opportunity I’m given. Thank you for always supporting and believing in me!”

“I first heard of Aimee when a friend declared he met with her to prep for every audition. ‘Every single one? Sounds excessive,’ I thought. But I reached out to her when I had sides I wanted help on. Now, I’m up in her booking calendar MINUTES after new auditions come in. It was immediately obvious that Aimee’s fluency across genres and styles means she brings something valuable, specific, and insightful to the material—no matter what it is. She is skilled with humor, tone, style, and expertly navigates physicalizing moments. ”

“I really enjoy working with Aimée because she always finds a different way for you to make a character fun and very specific. Brings life to the scene and really raises the stakes. Regardless if it’s drama or comedy. Which is what a director looks for. You HAVE to go in the room with something. Not just what’s on the page. Be specific and Win. Most importantly let it go and have Fun! Aimée helps me with that. Love her!”

“I had been struggling with auditions for years despite taking class from dozens of teachers in NY and LA who only seemed to make things worse. When I started working with Aimee I experienced an immediate change in my experiences—more callbacks, and more importantly, I was learning to have fun in the room. All of my TV bookings have been a direct result of the work I did with Aimee.”

“Whenever I get an email regarding an audition. Even if it looks easy... I love speaking and working it out with Aimee. She always has a different color to add to it which makes it easier for me to see it differently in the room when working with directors/ casting directors / producers. She’s my go to girl !!! ”

“Aimee DeShayes is the BEST acting coach you will find! I almost don’t want to tell anyone cause I want her all to myself. I coach with her on every single audition, always. If you want to book, coach with Aimee.”
