I was very impressed by your class and the many things I learnt in such a short space in time. There was so much useful and fascinating information about the art of acting and the practical demonstratiobs were great. You also didn't do any name dropping and kept the approach so down to earth and yet there was a reason for all the things you said and did... I loved the class... You are a great teacher and I learnt so much:)
