I booked my first VO gig while in this class (Voiceover for the Professional Actor). Brian (Plocharczyk)’s tips directly shaped my audition and the resources were invaluable.

I have more insight into studying and breaking down a scene as well as performing with my scene partners with truth and in the present moment.

I would absolutely recommend ASC!  From this one class, I got the impression that this school encourages growth and experimentation.

I really enjoyed taking the On-camera intro class with Sarah and Josh. Sarah is great at improving your technical skills while Josh is able to pick and hone your individual strengths. Initially this was just going to be a refresher, but now I look forward to taking more classes and getting more familiar with the local scene in Chicago.

I'm just so glad this class exists! The scenes were fantastic and I really appreciated the the wide variety across the whole class.  An absolute delight!  I really enjoyed being surrounded by fellow queer performers. - Anonymous Queer Advanced Scene Study Student

Mikael is a gem! His directing style made me find new choices every time.  His feedback was actionable and specific, yet he left room for discovery and actor's agency.
