I’ve always struggled with perfectionism and wanting to do everything right all the time, but even your simple motto “Dare to suck” has helped me more than I think I initially realized. You have to suck before you get good, and you have to be good before you can be great.

“I am so incredibly grateful to LK&Co. This may be TMI, but I was at rock bottom four months ago and moved to LA to get treatment for an eating disorder.  I decided to try my childhood dream and booked this class right out of graduating from my program.  I truly feel that this class has changed my life and am eager to keep learning.  I finally found my thing!  Thank you.”

“Dear Les, I booked a Netflix movie! Half of my scenes are with [huge, iconic star]!  Childhood dream achieved! Thank you again!  AR”

“Les, I really cannot thank you enough for opening up the opportunity to take your course. You are a pillar in this town for actors and opening a door for the Latino community through NHMC is HUGE. And I am grateful to reap the fruits of it. – A”

“Hi Lesly! Even though it has only been about a month since I met you, I’ve learned so much from you already. I’ve always struggled with perfectionism and wanting to do everything right all the time, but even your simple motto “Dare to suck” has helped me more than I think I initially realized. You have to suck before you get good, and you have to be good before you can be great. And that is absolutely crucial to know, not just in acting, but in life.

Really, you are a sincere, passionate and incredibly talented mentor and I really admire and appreciate all that you do for actors. . . . I have been exposed to a lot of slimy people in the industry. But you are honestly different. Your outlook and environment is refreshing and encouraging and it makes me actually want to continue acting, not just give up and get out. Love, HH”

“Hi Lesly, Yesterday during rehearsal L and I had the opportunity to help B with an audition and it gave us soooo much joy! Especially seeing him do great and rooting for him. And we learned so much from coaching him! Thanks for teaching us how to do this. I am feeling genuinely happy for someone that I met two short weeks ago. It’s a beautiful thing you are putting out there. I am so grateful for it. ♥️ Love ya’, NB”
