"This lady is one of the most hard working,
badass people out there.
This course sounds amazing - any of my acting friends out there who haven't worked with Steph or who have any want to try something different, should definitely give this a go."
Nathan Graham
"I thoroughly enjoy training with Both Feet because they give you the safest environment to thrive, fail and push boundaries."
Leanne

"Do this actor pals... outdoor adventures meets some of the best training you can find meets campfires and stars and rivers and paddle boarding and... did I mention campfires?

"I've been working with Both Feet Actor Training for about five years now. They have not only changed me as an actor but my whole perspective of it too. They are sooo amazing! If you are a working actor or just starting your journey I urge you to look at this."
