Steers has a deep and abiding understanding and comprehension of Harmon’s language and the words falling in between the lines and cracks.
She helps run a feministic theme or thread throughout the evening that allows the audience the chance to recognize and reward the strength and beauty that is a woman.
In her brilliance, the veteran teacher, actress and director puts us, the audience, in the middle of the action not only physically, but intellectually and artistically. ”

“Anna is one of those rare artists that I am blessed to know as teacher, actress, and friend.
She is kind and compassionate to her students, and enigmatic and fully available to her audiences.
Anna’s students are faithful and creative because she instills in them a sense of the divine and a large dose of professional drive and responsibility. And I am a fan.
I am a proud to say I am drawn to her art because she is a consummate truth teller and knows in her gut and in her heart, that as an actor, her life must be played out in every role, in ever scene and in every moment. This is her great gift; to remind us all that every human has a story, and that we are all artists waiting for that story to be told.
Anna Steers is uniquely, brilliantly and utterly present in both her life and her art. ”
— Alexandra Billings, Golden Globe Winning Actress - Steppenwolf Co. - USC Faculty
“Since I’ve started working with Anna back in 2019, I’ve grown exponentially as an actress. Anna really takes the time to get to know you as a person first, and that builds a foundation of trust which allows you to feel safe to explore, take risks, and ultimately grow as an artist. I have never been more supported by any other coach. She goes out of her way to make herself available for her students, and does everything from a genuine place of love for the craft and for her students. I’ve booked a guest star role and a recurring role on two major networks all with the coaching I’ve done with Anna. She truly has a gift. I recommend Anna to every actor I know. She is a gem and working with her has been the best thing that happened for my career. ”

I truly believe that witnessing her teach has well equipped me to compete in the entertainment industry. She has a deep well of knowledge as well as genuine empathy for the human condition. Her perspective and insights are profoundly valuable not only in the craft of acting, but also in my own personal development. Now that I am gaining more traction as a creative artist, I am grateful that I have Anna on my team.”
— Jeannie Mai: Abrams Artists/Authentic Talent
“When I think of Anna, passion and ambition are the first two words that come to mind and this bleeds through to her students. I was a writer with very little acting experience but Anna welcomed me into her class with open arms. She has an uncanny ability for identifying her student’s strengths and weaknesses and then tailors an individualized approach for each of their needs. She will teach you how to breakdown a script and will push you to keep digging deeper to understand who the character really is. She helped me to understand that writing a scene and breaking down a scene is virtually the same; identify the circumstances and needs of your character. Anna truly cares about the craft of acting and has dedicated her life to it. If you are fortunate enough to take Anna’s class and are willing to put in the work, you will be amazed at how rapidly you progress. Anyone who is sincere about growing as an actor should seriously consider working with Anna.”

I love smart actors and Steers is as smart as she is beguiling.

I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Anna on a few occasions, and I only wish I had more opportunities to do so. ”

“You never know when you are going to find one. I refer to very special teachers.
Anna Steers was not the least bit intimidated or out of place in room of 14 people, all of whom were at least a decade older than she.
In her own quiet but attentive way, she just seemed to soak everything. She’s not only precocious, she is one of those people who just get it. It’s in her bones.
She understands human nature and her middle name should be empathy. If you have an opportunity to work with her, I would urge you to do so. You will be more than happy that you did.
Anna is now a member of The Craftsmen of Dionysus: The Society of Acting Teachers.”
— J.Micahel Miller, Founder The Actors Center NYC
“From the first day of class Ms. Steers immediately grabbed my attention. This was not going to be a dry discourse on famous scripts. Instead, it turned out to be an exploration of prolific story telling from a global perspective.
Anna opened my eyes to important social issues and pushed me to better my critical thinking skills. Her teachings hit me deep beneath the surface, leaving me feeling for the first time in my college experience, I had gained more than a mere three credits worth of information.”
— Laura Scattergood, Fine Arts Freelancer

— Carolina Montenegro, Actor/Student Thea Arts CSULB

“Anna was truly a brilliant teacher. She was always so kind, encouraging, thoughtful and empathetic.
She gave each student the specific attention that they needed to succeed and grow as a person, as well as a performer. She created a safe environment where even the most anxious of students (like myself!) were able to feel comfortable enough to try things in a scene that seemed initially petrifying.
I always felt like Anna was there for me. Because she was. She gave such smart, calculated notes - all of which took everyones work to the next level.
Anna is a teacher and a mentor and a friend. I’m so grateful I got to learn from her, because I learned more about myself and the craft of acting than I ever would have expected”
— Simonah Wilcox, Film Studies
“I have known Anna for almost eight years, first as a student and for the past couple of years as a colleague.
