✨FUN FACTS✨
Coffee, tea, matcha, or…? 🧋Brown sugar boba tea! Or Starbucks Chai Tea with 2 pumps brown sugar (originally recommended by Actorsiter Kaylee Kent!).
What do you love most about teaching/coaching actors? Seeing their excitement when they do well — and when their dreams eventually come true. ✨
Favorite movie you never get tired of watching? Home Alone, Harry Potter… but honestly, I love TV more! 📺 Three’s Company, House, Friends, The Big Bang Theory — and SO many others! 😂
The book you recommend the most to actors? Ok, I definitely recommend watching TV shows and movies more than acting books (you learn so much from simply watching & enjoying!). But in saying that I am writing a book so (stay tuned👀 ) until then— I’d say Actions: The Actor’s Thesaurus.
What’s your favorite role you’ve ever played—and why? Myself on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno! It was my first TV booking in LA — I had my own dressing room stocked with everything I could have asked for. I was so prepared we actually wrapped early (everyone was impressed!). It made me feel like I could “make it”. Plus, my mom was visiting, so I got to bring her along ❤️
Go-to snack or treat between coaching sessions? 🧋BOBAAAAA 🧋
Who’s an actor whose work always inspires you? Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Nina Dobrev, and Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana fan for life! 😂).
What’s something students might be surprised to learn about you? I’m a black belt in Goshin Jutsu Karate — and I throw knives. 🥋🔪
Favorite place you’ve traveled—or dream destination? Anywhere tropical 🌴 Next on the list: Turks & Caicos!
When you're not teaching or acting, we’ll probably find you… jumping on my trampoline, playing board games, or petting my cats. 🐾🐈🐈⬛
What do you hope students feel when they leave your classes or coaching sessions? I hope they leave feeling they learned something new, made progress, and felt truly seen — even one personal note (when applied) can make a real difference. 💫
Your personal motto (or a quote you live by)? “Don’t follow your dreams — chase them.” ✨
MORE ABOUT AMBER…
Amber Bohac moved to Los Angeles at just 18 years old, signing with an agent her first week in town and soon landing a booking on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno—throwing knives, no less, a skill she learned from her father, a martial arts master, when she was just three.
She’s spent the past two decades empowering performers to trust their instincts, lean into their strengths, and show up fully. Amber's coaching journey began early—first as an intern, then as an assistant, and quickly growing into a leadership role. She began running group classes, facilitating intensives, and supporting top-tier industry professionals in high-level workshops. Along the way, she trained under some of the best coaches in the business and developed her own signature approach: one rooted in technical precision, heartfelt support, and honest, actionable feedback.
Her coaching goes far beyond performance technique. Amber empowers actors with the real-world insight needed to build sustainable, fulfilling careers—or simply to grow into more confident, creative human beings. Even if her students don’t pursue acting long-term, the tools they gain—courage, discipline, and joy—stick with them for life.
Amber has a gift for working with young actors. A kid at heart herself, she creates a space where they feel instantly seen, supported, and inspired. Her students leave sessions confident, capable, and excited to shine—whether it’s their first audition or their fiftieth.
She’s coached talent who have gone on to star alongside Oscar-winning A-listers, as well as those landing their very first credits on networks like Nickelodeon, Disney, NBC, ABC, CBS, and Freeform—not to mention countless national commercials.
Amber’s reach extends far beyond Los Angeles. She has worked with students from across the globe, including Australia, Canada, Europe, the UAE, and she is a trusted recommendation from agents and managers in every major U.S. market.
Fast facts:
Amber grew up performing musical theatre in one of the original Warner Brothers theaters.
She’s a trained dancer, singer, actor—and stuntwoman.
She’s co-produced projects and coached actors on set.
Amber truly loves what she does and considers it an honor to be a part of her students’ journeys. Her mission is simple: My dream is making yours come true ✨
