My girls attend Viya Academy under the leadership of Ms Laura! I wasn't sure what to expect when Laura invited the girls to join but as a parent I have found myself to be beyond impressed! There is an energy from the room that is infectious! You can feel the inspiration in the cheering and laughter radiating from their practice room! This has been such a beautiful experience for my girls' confidence and character building! Avarie (12y)- "This is the most fun I've ever had and I have met so many new friends!

Even though I've been taking classes for a few weeks, I absolutely love VIYA Academy & Agency for so many reasons. One of those reasons being Ms. Laura and her amazing staff, they truly are the best, from their enthusiasm and passion to their completely undivided attention that they give to each student. Each class is so different, focusing on either acting or modeling, but whatever you learn from class that day not only can help those interested in the industry, but can also help one in their daily lives. VIYA Academy & Agency allows one to be themselves while learning how to act and/or model. It allows one's creativity and confidence to grow. Ms. Laura and her staff truly value their students and clients, giving them resources and opportunities for success. Overall, VIYA Academy & Agency is the best place to start one's journey into their path of becoming an actor and/or model. read more

Attending Viya academy has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed, supported, and inspired. The instructors are not only experienced professionals in the industry, but they're also incredibly encouraging and genuinely invested in each student's growth. The training covers everything from runway techniques and posing to skincare, styling, and industry etiquette. I especially appreciated the focus on confidence-building and self-expression--it's clear the academy cares about developing well-rounded individuals, not just models. Thanks to their expert guidance and hands-on coaching, I hope to book a few gigs and feel fully prepared to navigate castings and photoshoots. Whether you're a beginner or looking to take your career to the next level, I can't recommend this place highly enough! read more

There is no explanation to the feeling of opportunity this establishment will give a person who's dedicated. The world of community and over all hospitality given is a refreshing breath of air after years of suffocation. The potential is unlimited and fate is uncertain to how you will grow, you will never hear the words you can't do something you are driven for and you will be promised the up most encouragement based off the skills you desire to possess. I am genuinely in love with the people I'm meeting and things I am learning anew. Peace Wellness & Love To all. -Ryett B. read more

I went into Viya Academy and Agency with really low self-confidence. I have always struggled with self-doubt and negative thoughts, often not thinking I am good enough or deserving of my dreams. After I joined Viya and met Laura, that instantly started to change. She has helped me endlessly and hasn't given up on me, even when I show up to class crying or nervous. With her gentle nudges to help me step out of my comfort zone, she is helping me come out of my shell, making me realize that I am talented and deserving of my dreams. She reminds me of my strength every time I am down on myself, and I really see myself improving. Even though I am only a couple of months into this program, I am incredibly grateful for the support, encouragement, and love I have received from Laura and her team. read more

When we were not sure if we wanted to proceed, they invited us to an actual class with no strings attached to see what to expect. We enjoyed what we saw and signed up. The energy in class is good and everyone is friendly. My daughter is excited to come, is learning, and her confidence is growing. I like that you can continue coming even after you complete the course with no additional charges for the course. I don't know how it compares to other local agencies price-wise, but when we were invited to join an LA agency, this agency compared very favorably. AND it is local to us. read more

I would without a doubt completely recommend this company if you are looking for a safe, fun, passionate environment with very amazing and supportive people dedicated to the future of modeling and acting! read more
