I just wanted to say thank you so much for having the Summer Audition Clinic, it was amazing and I learned so much! After the showcase,  Paonessa Talent Agency reached out to me and offered me an audition. It went well and I just officially signed with them last week! ASC has helped me grow so much as an actor and I can't wait to take another class :)

Esteban's approach feels new and unique and so needed. They acknowledge the trauma outside the classroom and give us tools for healing ourselves and others. I loved this class (Contemporary Realism)- it was truly a lesson for me in vulnerability and feeling safer in bringing myself to the art. Esteban's way of drawing us out but keeping the room a safe and exploratory space is amazing. Thank you, Esteban!

The voiceover script examples were perfect. They really helped to expand my learning experience. The time spent in the CRC was priceless. (Norm Boucher's Beginning Voiceover Combo)

Kurt Naebig (Advanced Scene Study) is very good about giving feedback after each scene. He listens intently to questions and takes his time when working with each actor. He also asks the rest of the class for input on each scene, and after each turn, he asks each actor what they have learned. Each time I have finished a class with Kurt, I know I'm leaving it having grown in this craft.

Shade Murray (Masters Scene Study) met each of us where we were. [He] provided specific, insightful, actionable observations and suggestions concerning our execution of scenes, [and] offered macro- level conceptual frameworks by which to understand and approach scene work.

Shade Murray (Masters Scene Study) talked about focusing on History, Mystery, and Discovery and it really helped me target goals for my work. He is so encouraging, even when giving constructive feedback. It's so freeing. I learned so much in this class that I can take right into rehearsal; it really is amazing.

The Nail Three Genres Class was engaging start to finish. We spent so much time on our feet and reviewing tape, it was the most collaborative class I've taken. Matt Miller s unbelievably encouraging and had a genuine investment in every single person in the class.

Favorite part of Voiceover for the Professional Actor: working on discovering your unique/ quintessential sound, and working on commercial and animation reads. Brian Plocharczyk was very giving with his time both in class and via email. He gave honest critical feedback and always replied to questions. This course was packed with valuable information and training.

Sarafina Vecchio was amazing in this course (Level 3)! She managed her time so well, and would set a timer for every scene to ensure we all had an equal amount of time. I really appreciated that and wish more teachers would do that. She also didn’t overload us with too many comments, instead just gave us a few concrete things to work on each week. Overall a lovely and fun instructor and I would love to take more classes with her!
