Actor Stories
“If you want to create authentically and become a professional experiencer and master craftsperson, Celia Anne Browne will take you there.”
Eric Morris - International Teacher and Author of MANY books including the classic,
No Acting Please.
Celia Anne has had the wonderful opportunity to work with established names, like French Actress CAMILLE RAZAT, as well as Actors who are also in Fashion, Beauty, Music, Art, Literature and even Influencers. She has also had the joy to work with actors more on the development path and has helped them achieve success.
ADRIEN
“Celia is an incredible human being, blessed with an extraordinary gift for teaching in the most gentle and effective way possible. She is compassionate, honest, patient, kind, funny, and always supportive – even when you're on the other side of the globe! Celia truly understands her actors and easily sees their essence. Over the past three years, working with her has been transformative for my craft, helping me elevate my acting to become more grounded, honest, and meaningful. I love being in her class alongside her nurturing group of actors.”
VINCENT
“I will always remember the day I met Celia. She helped me open my eyes in so many things, spirituality, wisdom and of course Acting. She has the talent to see through you and she is smart enough to not tell you what you should do. Without your noticing, she takes your hand in the most kind way and shows you your own path. She is my coach and I hope she will be forever. “
WILFRIED
"Thanks to Celia, I have learned a different way to use my instrument. She taught me how to relax and how to activate my senses making me available to every kind of stimulus. With her you go deeper. I am still surprised how quickly I can access emotions now. Celia really creates a safe, environment where you can learn, explore and try new things. She taught me how I could be different characters, that everything I needed was within. She has the gift to see the real you. Acting is truly living and you remember it with her."
PHILIPPINE
“J’ai trouvé en Celia plus qu’un professeur. Sa sensibilité et sa connaissance en tant qu’experte de l’art de l’acteur en font un guide essentiel et bienveillant pour atteindre la vérité devant la caméra. A ses côtés j’ai grandi non seulement en tant qu’actrice mais avant tout en tant qu’artiste. Elle m’a ouvert à de nouvelles perspectives de rôles en m’aidant à développer toute la palette émotionnelle de mon instrument. Avec elle on ne joue pas, on vit. Merci Celia.”
CHRISTOPHER
“I was blown away by the progress I was able to make.
Celia managed to rekindle my love for Acting and taught me a lot about myself along the way.”
ALEXANDRE
“Celia truly offers a wonderful and really professional class. Freedom of artistry is the only expression that I can come up with that aptly describes her class. She gets so much out of us and I would recommend her to anyone.”
Rachella
“In Celia's class, I learned how powerful my instrument is. Everything I need for every character is within me and within the energy or eyes of my scene partner. I learned to be in the moment and trust that my intuition guides me. All I have to do is breathe, listen and tell the truth. Celia said, no acting, just tell the truth! And that is something I will follow for the rest of my career.”
ROSE
“I knew from our initial meeting in LA, we could make some great work together. I can’t thank Celia enough for providing a space for our Tuesday crew to explore artistry in incredible ways. I feel that I have grown as an actor and a human with her guidance.”
ISAIAH
“Honestly couldn’t thank Celia enough! Not only was she my first acting coach in Paris France but she was the main reason I booked my first role with a Netflix series. She helped me countless of times during the pandemic with auditions via zoom and has truly taken the time to grab the essence of my acting and morph it into my own. I love working with her cause it brings out a comfort level in me that I don’t usually have with others when it comes to performing. Her creative direction also helps me tune into my own creative decisions and become more confident in the choices I make. Truly couldn’t thank her enough and will continue working one on one with her every time the opportunity presents itself. If you are reading this, take this as your sign from above to go ahead and work with her. You don’t know what she will bring out of you, but it definitely will be something you didn’t know you were capable of.”
MAIYA
“I have immense gratitude for Celia and her gifts as an acting coach because without her guidance I wouldn’t be the confident actress I am today. Celia is in an incredibly intuitive person and because she sees who you are, she is able to guide you to connect with yourself also. This is imperative for an actor and I will practice what Celia has taught for as long as I am alive and working. I’ve had such a wonderful experience learning the craft of acting, thanks to Celia’s insight, generosity and the space she gives you to create freely. I now have a solid tool box of techniques to refer back to.”
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE
“Celia Anne Browne is a generous presence and is coaching actors and actresses, and guided me, at this elevated junction with undeniable courage and experience.”
CAPRI
“Celia’s class truly was a life changing experience for me. Not only she’s an amazing acting teacher, she is also one of the most generous and kindest human beings I’ve ever met in my life. She really puts her whole heart and soul into her teaching and truly cares about her students. She knows exactly how to guide you in the right direction as an actor and always gives you honest feedback in the most warm-hearted way possible. She helps her students to focus on what’s really important in acting and to fully connect with themselves and their scene partners. Almost in a therapeutic way, she helped me to connect with my own inner emotions and vulnerability which has helped me a lot in my acting and character development.”
CHAMSEDDINE
“Celia’s wisdom can make you a better human being. She can help you explore different aspects to help you create the perfect character. I am very honored and privileged to work with Celia. The atmosphere she engenders is both professional and entertaining and makes it easy for the student to express oneself. She can help you elevate your perception of yourself, to help you reach an absolute freedom of mind and peace of soul and for that I am forever grateful.”
Anica
''Celia has not only helped me grow as an actor, but as a human being. By providing a safe space to fully feel, experience and just "be", every class with Celia has led to a fascinating exploration of the human experience.
I have gained precious tools to use when preparing for a role but, most of all, Celia has consistently encouraged me to be fearless and reach for a higher and more meaningful form of creativity.
Working with Celia has made me fall even more in love with the art of acting and I will be forever grateful for everything she has taught me!”
Lucien
''An actor most certainly carries a disregarded flaw. Celia discerns where it is and she pins it.”
Fatima
“Celia is blessed with the immense gift of intuition which makes her connect with her students beyond merely the role of an acting instructor. Her presence and connection has now become a guiding light in my life. With this connection, she creates a safe and nurturing environment for her students which makes us as actors feel confident to explore and reveal parts of ourselves which surprise even us. With her inner eye, she genuinely sees and believes in us even at times when we are doubtful of ourselves.
Celia has truly been instrumental in helping me clear the mental blocks which were preventing me from reaching my most authentic self. The techniques she has taught me are not only relevant in front of the camera but also in my everyday life. As Eric Morris says, when you are stuck, it is not an acting problem you are facing, but a living problem, a being problem, and Celia helps you clear those obstacles so you can get in touch with your inner self and use it to become an authentic actor. I hope to continue this journey with her and feel absolutely privileged to know this incredibly generous and warm soul.”

"Celia Anne Browne is one of the greatest teachers and human beings I have had the chance to encounter and work with. Not only is she talented, but she is also open, caring, kind, hard working: when given an exercise or a scene she will listen very closely to extract the best experience out of us. She searches for experiences and emotional journeys rather than performance and embraces the differences that make us who we are as actors and uses it to fuel our work. It probably is the most transformational ride to self discovery and acting, I have been on. Hang on tightly because you’re about to enter a whole new dimension of acting! "
SONNIE
"Celia’s passion for the craft of acting is tangible. She has an immense sensibility and acumen for emotions, creating a collaborative and earnest creative environment. Celia’s diehard encouragement allowed me to explore the darker depths of my characters, and the authority to shape explosive performances."
Nic
"Celia is a passionate, creative and caring instructor. Before she even makes you work, she connects to your needs as a person. She sees right into your soul and builds upon your strengths as well as nurture's your weaknesses. I have studied acting all my life but never with such a cognizant person. She definitely is rooted in truth and self-awareness. As an actor, you are often used as a tool to help create someone else's vision but Celia reminds us that we matter and that our purpose is not lost in the business. I am forever grateful for her contribution to my journey."
GABRIELA
"I am so grateful for having met Celia on my acting journey. To echo someone else’s words, you think you go through training to become a better actor but realize its about becoming a better person, and knowing oneself better. Celia is so caring and passionate about understanding and delving into the person, always, with no superficiality or artifice. Thank you for giving actors the gift of simply starting to understand that they are enough."
AtOESA
“This amazing woman guides every human being/artist deeply to consciously reach their creative source and takes them out of their comfort zone, exploring new sides of themselves. Her teachings are not only interesting for actors but for anyone who feels they want to dive deeper within their creative instrument to create more consciously.”
Quentin
I am taking the Advanced class with Celia Anne Browne and of all the workshops I have done in Paris and London, it is the best. It is proactive with a very tight group and a sense of family. Celia's directions and advice are always on point. I have grown so much as an actor and I would urge any aspiring or professional actors to apply.
Tyneille
"Celia Anne-Browne is a highly experienced, intuitive, and individual-based acting coach who has a gift for bringing out the best in the actor according to their unique needs, strengths and the person that they are in their everyday lives. She teaches a rich curriculum, and is able to help an actor to derive organic emotions and experience ‘in-the-moment’ acting. She is highly committed to her students’ success and passionate about what she does, using a range of techniques and craft work to assist the actor in naturally adopting their character and respecting their journey. She is specifically strong in aiding actors to prepare emotionally for the camera and scenes, and has an innate ability to inspire and guide an actor to live a healthy, enriched and wholistic life as an artist. I have loved working with Celia and have a real appreciation for her style, dedication, and lessons.”
