Christina (Gorman, Scene Study) brings such a high amount of energy and passion to every single class and really gave each scene performed all her attention and energy. It's really cool and inspiring, as a young actor, to have a teacher who clearly shows a deep level of love and passion for this art.

She (Christina Gorman - Level 2 Shurtleff to Scene: Online) was excellent! She explained many things about what to expect during theatre and TV auditions, along with helping us improve our skills and helping us understand Shurtleff's Guideposts more.
— Cara Olson
She (Christina Gorman — Level 2 Shurtleff to Scene Online) taught us a lot about the industry and how to audition successfully. As well as points in a scene where a character makes discoveries, and how to take our emotions to a higher level while acting.

Christina Gorman’s Level 2 class was phenomenal. She had amazing insight on the industry and her feedback was incredibly helpful. Not to mention she is so fun and hilarious, and she made the 3 hours zoom by. Two thumbs up!

"I came to Acting Studio Chicago with zero experience in the craft, just a desire to have fun and have a new experience. ASC delivered on that and more; the people in my class with me were great, and the teacher - Christina Gorman - was just fantastic. Beyond fantastic. Her enthusiasm, positive attitude, real talk when feedback was needed and authenticity make her an incredible teacher, and no doubt a wonderful actress. I can't wait to take another class!!"
