Former Student's Comment:
"I wish I had taken this class before I walked on a set. This class
should be required for all actors. This class gave me the confidence
to do a great job! It's well worth my hour and 45 minute commute. You
filled in the gaps for me. It's a winner! The filming was a fun,
practical way to apply what we learned"
