LAUREN DAIR OWENS

“Growing up as a young actor in Los Angeles, I attended my fair share of acting classes and workshops. I never found a class that I really enjoyed until I started taking classes at Young Actors Space. Patrick Day teaches in a way that is very different from every other acting coach I’ve ever worked with in a creative, positive environment.

Patrick taught me how to apply aspects in my real life to scenes to make them as truthful as possible. From crying on cue to developing a strong “moment before” to creating characters with layers, Patrick continues to push me out of my comfort zone and encourages me to take risks with my character choices.”

I started in teen class when I was 14 years old and learned more about myself then I thought was possible. Fast forward to now, I am in the adult class and feel like my classmates are like my second family. To be part of a community of actors that truly respect and encourage each other has been such an amazing experience. I love you YAS!”
