I’ve had an absolutely amazing experience with Ms. Houghton! She has been an incredible teacher throughout the time I’ve done lessons with her! She has such a way of teaching people and helping them better understand what the world of theater can really be like. Her lessons have been super helpful to me as someone who wants to continue doing theater professionally in the future. She’s opened my eyes to so many new techniques and skills that I never would have learned otherwise. Without her help, I know I’d be less confident in my skills as an actress and never would have learned that I’m much more capable than what I gave myself credit for. She’s definitely a joy to be around and she’s a wonderful teacher! 

Throughout my time working with Ms. Houghton, I’ve grown more confident in my acting/singing capabilities. She’s helped me develop a strong stage presence and better techniques for characterization. She’s helped me to understand what going into professional theater can look like and how to make an audition stand out. With her help, I’ve grown to understand my capabilities in acting and how to be more confident in myself.

Audrey has been absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly kind, patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in her students. You can tell immediately that teaching is so much more than a job to her~she truly loves these kids and celebrates them for exactly who they are. As a parent, I have always felt like my child was seen, valued, and genuinely cared for by her. We absolutely adore Ms. Houghton and are so thankful for her! The biggest growth I have seen has been in confidence! Audrey has such a gift for helping kids believe in themselves and step outside of their comfort zones while still making them feel completely safe and supported. I have watched my child become more confident in her voice, performing, and just being herself. She has grown so much, not only as a performer, but as a person, and I truly believe Audrey has played a huge part in that.
