“Training with Iris changed everything for me. As a young actress just beginning she helped me navigate the industry and gave me the confidence I needed to audition and book jobs. She has an incredible ability to break down a script and helps you go so much deeper into a character. For over 20 years, Iris has been there for me throughout my career and has recently played a pivotal role in helping me explore a new world of directing..”

“Iris joined me on set for Angel, Buffy’s spin-off. There, hours were long. Pressure and anxieties high. My workload had doubled and prep time reduced. We dug in. We broke the scripts down scene by scene and gave each line doable actions. She taught me memorization skills and prepared me for what became, the highlight of my career. A role of a lifetime. Together, we created a character that was both dramatic and comical in an otherwise dark show. Cordelia was snarky, tough and physical. But at the heart of Cordelia was love. A love of life and a fierce love of her friends, whom she called family. Iris was integral to finding that depth while working a tight schedule and budget. Today, I still call on Iris for consultation on auditions when I feel stuck. My confidence and trust in her personally and professionally are priceless. There’s norole she can’t help you win. Whether it’s sitcom work or drama, she finds the truth for you and brings it to life within you. -What more can I say? She has been a lifeline and my secret weapon for the majority of my career. I am profoundly grateful to her for all that I have learned under her tutorage. To you, the actor looking for a home to study, how lucky you are to have discovered her too! “
