It was so great working with Mary! (Mary Franke) I enjoyed her On Camera Technique class. She was always very responsive - in and out of the classroom. I feel like I learned a lot and became more confident in front of the camera. I would love to work with her again soon!! Thanks so much for the great classes geared toward youth!!

Mary Franke is a very encouraging and helpful teacher. She made me feel engaged during class and also allows us to email her with any questions we have about acting. I definitely recommended taking a class with her!

"After a twenty-year hiatus, I am so happy I took your ON CAMERA 1 class with Sarah (Charipar).  My first audition for Chicago Fire led to me being booked as a day player for Episode 13 as Officer Westfall. I’m going to take another class. It was so helpful, especially since I had never done TV."

Sarah Charipar (Camera 1) was a superb instructor that consistently challenged each student to grow each week. She spent quality time with each student, giving insightful feedback & suggestions after each performance. We performed each assignment as many times as necessary to see real-time progress. I'm very satisfied and have signed up for 2 more classes!

The Theatre Audition Workshop with Adam Belcuore is an absolute essential for any actor seeking to gain insight into the dynamics of auditioning. Mr. Belcuore is eloquent in his presentation and succinct in his ability to assist actors with honing in on their craft. He has the unique ability to address the nuances of the audition experience, from the minute one enters the audition space to the end of the entire process. It comes with my highest recommendation.

The Level 3 Scene Study Class instructed by Christy Arington was exceptional in providing opportunities to expand the actors' level of character analysis. Ms. Arington is a pure joy and is astute in providing challenging opportunities to expand one's knowledge base while providing necessary support to enable the actors' success. This class comes highly recommended, you can't beat the benefits received!

Echaka Agba was very patient and encouraging. Her positivity, coaching, and scene suggestions (in Level 1) are among the great things I take away from this term with her!

I truly enjoyed my experiences in Level 1 and I am looking forward to continuing my training at ASC! The feedback provided was priceless and specific enough for me to be able to apply it in real-time. Jack Bronis pointed out areas that I didn't know needed improvement; areas that manifested based on my personality e.g. vocal volume, movement etc. He reminded me that while acting, I have to bring the emotions to life. Thank you Jack!

The most rewarding aspect of Janelle Snow's Advanced Camera class was meeting new people. I've made some really lovely friends who are actively carving out space for themselves in the industry.

The environment of Coburn Goss' Camera 1 class was super supportive, so I never felt like I didn't have the freedom to try anything or be judged. There was no judging.
