“Throughout my career in acting I’ve encountered few people as knowledgeable, insightful and professional as Laurent. Kind and empathetic, he effortlessly connects with the scene and his clients while offering notes that reflect an assiduous understanding of both the industry and the art of acting. Laurent has helped many of my performances, most notably my audition for a recurring role on Netflix Jupiter’s Legacy which I’m glad to say I booked. Overall, Laurent’s guidance has reliably proved to be a major factor in both my personal development as well as my career success. Undoubtedly I will work with him again, and look forward to following his bright future in the industry.”

“I thank him for all he’s done for me! From helping me dissect scripts for my auditions to in-depth character preparation for my first Netflix movie. I couldn’t have done it without his genius and belief in me. I hope he continues to share his gift with the world!”

“Can't recommend Laurent highly enough! Not only is he extremely passionate about the art of acting and very knowledgeable, but he also sincerely cares about his students. He creates a safe environment for actors to grow, dare to be themselves and just have fun while you’re at it!  With Laurent, you have the perfect combination of a teacher and a friend. He really is in your corner!”

“Laurent Pitre has been a mentor and coach to me over the last 3 years, and I couldn’t be more grateful. He is wise beyond his years and an incredibly talented artist; as an actor, writer, and overall creator. Laurent has helped bring my auditioning skills to the next level as well as my writing. But the thing that is most remarkable about him is his kindness. Laurent is an effective coach because of his unique approach to each of his clients. He is encouraging, positive, and direct. He truly knows how to get the best out of everyone. I feel very honored to have worked with him and to witness how much he’s grown and continues to get better every single year. His kindness, generosity, and talents are unmatched.”

“Laurent has helped me with a number of self-tapes over the years. Laurent’s attention to detail and understanding of a script makes him one of the best readers to work with while preparing an audition. He is able to point out so much that helps enhance my performances because he so quickly picks up on what the script offers. He also tends to give you the energy necessary while in dialogue with you. You don’t feel like you’re just acting out the scene, he helps the scene come alive to the point that you feel that you’re actually in the scene. I’m always happy to work with Laurent as he gets some of the best work out of me.”

“As an actor, we are often our own worst critic, which makes trying to direct one’s choices and direction for a self-tape quite a difficult task. Laurent Pitre lifts this burden with his outstanding coaching skills. His ability to assess the meaning of a scene and direction turns what can be a frustrating process of self-taping into an opportunity to better sharpen your craft. Laurent doesn’t provide you with all the answers, instead asks questions about the character, the setting, and motivations which results in a performance that is unique to you as the actor. Working with someone like Laurent is what this artistic pursuit is all about. It’s fun, fulfilling, and ends with everyone’s skill level improved.”

“Laurent is a super motivating coach who pays so much attention to detail. He always helps you make strong and fun choices for your characters. He can guide you to the most surprising discoveries!”

“Having the opportunity to get coached by Laurent for a self-tape/audition is a reassuring process for actors. Laurent is very calm and relaxing and he really gets you grounded and ready to ace your audition. His way of communicating constructive feedback always helped me!”

“Laurent is an amazing acting coach and mentor because he is dedicated to building a learning community for his students, he goes above and beyond to develop complete professional actors and brings a dynamic perspective to his coaching which pushes his students to be successful in their art and professional careers. Laurent brings a dynamic peer and teacher-student approach to his coaching. This allows him to build a trusting bond with his students while also making sure they do not get lazy in their homework & practice. Working with a new coach for any actor is nerve-wracking, so I really appreciated that Laurent focused on fostering a positive relationship with me from our first session. Hearing his feedback from the perspective of a peer allows for much stronger communication and collaboration in my work. Laurent would also touch base with me multiple times throughout the week to make sure that I was on track in my practice, answer any questions I have, and provide me with new tricks/ methods I could apply in my daily routine if I were slacking. This approach not only builds a trusting relationship but also gives me an internal drive to become a more professional actor.”

AMBER DHALL

“Laurent has made me feel so much more inspired and empowered as both an actor and artist than I ever could’ve imagined. He goes above and beyond in his coaching, and makes you feel comfortable to try new things and make mistakes. That kind of motivation and guidance has done wonders for me as an actor, thanks to him I was able to place second in the youth category at Monologue Slam on my first ever submission! Laurent is one of the best coaches and mentors out there!”

“Working with Laurent is a true treat for my inner child and artist. Each session is adapted to my needs at that moment. If I am curious about certain industry standards or need them debunked, Laurent's experience is there in spades. If I am hungry to create, write, film, Laurent is there to focalize my passion with a gentle and genuine care. If I am feeling like shit and don't know why or just need someone to remind me of my value and my reasons for exploring art and life, Laurent has just the right words to get me up and over the hump. So, considering how I am working on developing my spiritual, psychological and physical well-being while refining my craft, Laurent's experience and full-hearted commitment is priceless.”

“I spent my first session with Laurent talking about life for 2 and a half hours...and I wish it had been longer. Never once did I feel like I was just another number in his long line of clients, I felt like I was his friend and he was just trying to help me succeed. He specifically targets my needs and with so much care and passion he finds his own special down to earth way of communicating to me what I can do to help nurture those needs. Laurent has made me realize the importance of feeding the soul in order to be truly at peace and just to feel happy with who you are and how you perform. And honestly, I just have so much fun in our sessions, sometimes coaching sessions can feel daunting, but that is so far from what I've felt in my time Laurent. I want to be there, I want to hear what he has to say (sometimes it's a cheesy joke), but most of all he wants to hear what you have to say, and he makes that clear. Similar to my past hockey coaches, Laurent has become a part of my life and is responsible for shaping me as an actor, as a friend, and as a human.”

Boris Kirimidtchiev

“Working with Laurent has been absolutely amazing. I'm a trained actor, I've been to theater school, and I've learned plenty of ways to analyze text and build characters, but didn't feel like I had tools to explore, trust, and develop my creative intuition. With Laurent we did exactly that. He's provided me with tools to explore my own creativity, and taught me to how to trust my artistic choices, and ultimately my artistic self. I feel much more free to create when approaching any role after working with him. I've been to school, I've taken acting workshops, and I've never grown creatively as much as I have with Laurent.”
