The Chicago TV Tune Up Workshop with Matt Miller is excellent! Lots of good information. Matt is a pro and it shows. The class was a good make up of actors and we fine tuned our skills and had some laughs too! I had a Chicago Med audition due the day after the 2nd day of the workshop and booked it! I've submitted a ton of them without success but boom! Hmmm...I'm just saying...It's a great workshop!

I really enjoyed the mock/troubleshooting session on Source Connect with Dave. This was invaluable. And the manifestation exercise with the 5-year plan was lovely with Sarafina. Loved Deb's positivity and accountability throughout. Would not change a thing. ~ Summer 2022 Student.

Spenser (Davis) did a fantastic job with this class! With every topic, class discussion, and scene feedback session, he took the time to understand our own experiences and build upon them from his own wealth of knowledge. I feel far more prepared to jump into new work with the tools and insight gained from this class. There isn’t a component I didn’t like. From our first class where we broke down different theories, to Q&A sessions with guest speakers. I really enjoyed it! (Attacking New Work Master Class)

I would say Brad Grusnick was inclusive and had a relaxed demeanor which helped all of us settle in and bring our A game to classes. He encouraged everyone and gave each person constructive feedback that improved our reads. (Beginning Voiceover: Online)

This class was truly my first exposure to acting besides just watching TV. [I was] super nervous and already feeling like I wouldn’t fit in. Sarafina Vecchio was very kind and friendly and really helped me break out of my shell, I can’t express how grateful I am to have had her as an instructor. (Grades 9-12: Acting for Teens)

Charles (Andrew Gardner) did an excellent job of creating a safe environment. I never felt embarrassed when making a bold choice, and he always lifted us up and encouraged us in our learning process! (On Camera II: In Person)
