Spotlight Academy

Spotlight Academy is Amazing

I was lucky enough to take acting lessons with Jacqui a few years ago. It was an incredible experience and one that I will cherish forever. It was fun, informative, and very helpful. Thank you so much for everything. You are AMAZING!!

Over the past 3 years I have had the pleasure of working with and learning from Jacqui at Spotlight Academy in Nanaimo.
Jacqui brings such a passion for and knowledge of the craft that is nothing less than infectious. I am excited to go to class every week where I am always welcomed into a safe, inclusive and supportive environment. Jacqui's classes are always fun, challenging, eye opening and did I mention Fun?
I feel I have grown not only as an actor, but as a person as well studying and working with Jacqui.
I have, and always will recommend Jacqui to any actor wishing to develop their skills, knowledge and confidence as an actor. , whether you're a brand new actor, or a seasoned veteran, Jacqui will welcome you with open arms, and will be there for you through your journey.

I worked together with Jacqui to deliver a voice-over course last year. She was such a joy to work with and very patient and kind. We had a lot of fun and hope to do it again this year. I have heard nothing but great things about her and her company! All the best in 2019 Jacqui!!

Jacqui Is an incredibly supportive, professional and knowledgeable acting teacher/coach. I have been so blessed to have worked with her on many occasions. From an amazing variety of classes to even taking the time to give me feedback on headshots before going to New York, her understanding and absolute dedication & love that she has for supporting her students is unfounded. Jacqui has created & maintains a supportive, safe space to learn & develop as an artist.

I first went to Spotlight academy when I was only 15 years old. At the age of 15 I was scared, riddled with anxiety but still, I wanted to act. When I first walked in you felt at ease, the studio isn’t only warm and inviting but the others are so very helpful. Then In walked the amazing Jacqui. I don’t know where to begin not only is she one of the best coaches you could ever ask for, she’s also supportive and very helpful. She completely took me under her wing and showed me how to break out of my shell. She’s not just a acting coach, she’s a friend. She’s one of the most kind hearted people you will ever meet that’s always true to herself and such an amazing role model for young women. She doesn’t just coach, she builds you up and encourages you while still staying truthful. A hard task to do but she some how does it. If you need lessons, a safe environment and an experience you will never forget I highly recommend going here because you’ll never forget it. Her classes are fun, they’re serious but at the end of the night you’re left over joyed and enthusiastic about the next class. If I could I would give this amazing academy a 100/10 review!!
