I want to let you guys know that the first audition I got very soon after Matt's (CHICAGO TV TUNE UP)  class, I booked Chicago PD.  The workshop was GREAT!!

The Chicago TV Tune Up Workshop with Matt Miller is excellent! Lots of good information. Matt is a pro and it shows. The class was a good make up of actors and we fine tuned our skills and had some laughs too! I had a Chicago Med audition due the day after the 2nd day of the workshop and booked it! I've submitted a ton of them without success but boom! Hmmm...I'm just saying...It's a great workshop!

The Nail Three Genres Class was engaging start to finish. We spent so much time on our feet and reviewing tape, it was the most collaborative class I've taken. Matt Miller s unbelievably encouraging and had a genuine investment in every single person in the class.

Matt is a true pro that brings a ton of knowledge and experience to a really fun, helpful class. I truly appreciated the opportunity to work multiple auditions, both in class and self tape, using several different genres of material. I can't recommend this class enough.
