StarCatcher Acting Studio

My son was introduced to Kia by his amazing manager, and wow have we been impressed. Both one on one, and group classes have exceeded expectations. She definitely has a special gift in coaching, and my son feels as though it’s also empowering his confidence in everyday life. Kia, your time is worth way more than you charge, and I am mindblown every week at how much time you put into these classes. Thank you for being affordable so that we have these opportunities! I’m quite sure we will not come across another Kia in this industry. ❤️

My daughter has been coaching with Kia at StarCatcher Studio for over a year now and we have had the most amazing experience. Kia is not only an extremely talented coach that has helped her develop her skills and grow as an actor but she is also the kindest human being. She creates a loving space, making my 9 year old feel empowered, confident and comfortable and pushes her to deliver her best performances. I really appreciate that she is always able to accommodate us for coaching for auditions even when it is very short notice. I have noticed tremendous growth in my child’s acting skills and performances since she has been working with Kia and she has had more booking this year and any other! We are so lucky to have found the perfect studio and coach for us!

Being a part of the Starcatcher family has been amazing! I love working with the kids that come through the door and seeing each of them for who they are and what they bring to the table!

I have been incredibly privileged to study under the exceptional guidance of my acting coach, Kia Riddick-Taylor (Star Catchers Acting Studio) for many years. Her passion for the craft and dedication to nurturing talent is reflected in every coaching session. She has succeeded in fostering a dynamic and inspiring learning atmosphere, where growth, exploration, and questioning are actively encouraged. Her innovative coaching techniques, combined with her perceptive understanding of each student's potential, have played a monumental role in enhancing my acting skills. Kia’s willingness to go above and beyond - extending sessions to ensure thorough understanding or providing additional resources - has been truly extraordinary. Every interaction leaves me feeling more empowered and self-assured, a clear testament to her coaching prowess. But Kia’s impact extends well beyond Star Catchers Acting Studio - she’s acted as a mentor, instilling in me the values of approaching my craft with curiosity and empathy. I would wholeheartedly recommend Star Catchers Acting Studio to anyone lucky enough to have the opportunity to learn from them - their unwavering commitment to their students and coaching is truly incredible.

Kia Riddick approaches the craft of an Acting Coach in an entirely unique way, she’s caring, nurturing and a honest coach by focusing on each actors talent. No time is wasted, she is an excellent coach. As a result of her coaching my clients have booked jobs for Netflix, Disney and much, much more.

Kia is an absolutely amazing acting coach and person. My 10 yo son took private coaching lessons with Kia and she helped guide him through auditions that led to him booking his first role. Thank you so much Kia... we couldn't have done it without you!

Kia, Lindsi and Ana are amazing!! Watching my sons continued growth in self and as an actor is unexplainable. Thank you ladies. Highly recommend.
