Monologue script

I learned more from your first class than I have ever learned in entire semesters taking other acting courses. Class atmosphere was personable and welcoming. The audition preparations and advice were also very valuable. I would love to continue my studies with you. After only 3 days with a new monologue, using your techniques, I had a very successful general audition.

Before I took your class I would not have felt ready and would not have attended. The 'countdown' technique alone was worth the whole price of the class. It focused me in a simple way and allowed my first moment to come out fully without any self-consciousness or self-doubt. My favorite part of this class is that you FORCE us to see what an audition looks like from the other side of the table by walking in and, introducing yourself.

The class size allows for enough work time. The four monologues I left class with have me feeling prepared! Monologues are no longer this scary place that I don't understand.
