Private coaching with Kayleigh Shikanai.
One-on-one with a working actor. In studio or on Zoom. We work the sides, the scenes, the callbacks.
A working actor's eye.
Kayleigh Shikanai has spent over two decades working on Canadian film and television sets as a professional actor. Audiences may recognize her from series such as Gangnam Project and The Next Step, as well as leading roles in films including Rush for Your Life, Hotel for the Holidays, Bad Influence, and Homekilling Queen.
Driven by her passion for helping other performers, Kayleigh founded Shiki Studios, a supportive space where actors can create, learn, and gain real industry insight into building a successful career in film & television.
At Shiki Studios, actors don't just train. They leave with professional footage for their demo reels & self tapes that guarantee you will stand out! She also provides valuable agency industry connections, and practical tools actors can use to pursue representation and book work. Kayleigh is passionate about being on actors' journeys and helping them turn their dreams into reality!
