True Meaning of 'Coach'

"I really owe a lot of thanks to you. I would of only known that I had to read the script (which is a "duh") if it wasn't for you and your training! Honestly, I've learned so much! I mean it looked EXACTLY like how you explained and showed the way a film and commercial audition would look like. I can't wait to see and learn from you again!" - A.H.

"I just wanted to congratulate you on your award, and let you know that you so deserve it.  I have always been so impressed with your eagerness to teach the craft you are so good at.  You have helped me so much I can't even quantify it.  Even if my whole life was just going to class and doing plays, or free Indie films, I can't even imagine a life without acting.  Thank you so much!" -A.S.

"Thank You again for the showcase and for everything. You're a great teacher and I look forward to attending more of your classes. Ever since I have started taking acting seriously and really pursuing it, I have felt more fulfilled with my life, more confident, and all around happiness in who I am and what I am doing. It's amazing how much a person can grow by putting themselves out there in uncomfortable situations. Your class has been better for me then you will ever know." -R.D.

Exemplary interpersonal skills

"Your workshop and this experience is teaching me that the blocks are sometimes the DON’Ts that I have put on myself over the years of my life.  It was a big Defining Moment for me as an actor.  I knew that I had tapped into an emotional level that I had never experienced before or “re-lived” as an actor.  Thanks." - R.Z.

"I am a superb judge of character. I concluded quickly that you are exceptionally talented and more than qualified to teach anything related to acting, etc. Your interpersonal skills and ability to read situations are exemplary. I also recognize that you have an innate ability to recognize when there is a something missing that is invisible to most people." - J.G.
