Our full-time studio and group classes are now closed although we still do some private coaching on-line or in our home.

Here are some of the really nice things "they" have said in the past about our workshops:

"EVERYBODY SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS!" - jeremy hotz

 

"QUITE SIMPLY THE BEST WORKSHOP OF ITS KIND IN CANADA! Training is one of the key elements in the future of the Canadian film and television industry. And David and Theresa's workshops are what will give serious actors that professional edge."- Tom Shoebridge [founder, Summer Institute of Film & Television]

"I am truly grateful for Theresa and David. After taking their Commercial Weekend, I went on three auditions. I got two callbacks and booked a national commercial. Best way to end the year! Super excited to start 2014 on set!" - Tricelle

"So wonderful to have this creative space to take action (and respond) -- and, as always, you're superb guides with preternatural instincts, eagle eyes, ideal instruction and enfolding encouragement." - Braden

"What a great year it has been. 4 productions, currently working on the 5th. Thanks to you and your outstanding classes." - Susan

"I just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you so much for all your help this summer! I feel like a totally different actor in front of a camera now. ! am beginning shooting for a four part mini series here and thanks to your class, I am going into this with a sense of confidence I definitely did not have last year. So thank you so much! For everything!" - Sean

"I absolutely nailed my audition on Saturday, and was cast for the lead female role!! Thank you so much again for everything you taught me!" - J

"I wanted to thank you for hosting one of the best workshops I've ever attended. You nailed issues and provided practical solutions that were both broad and individualized as needed. Can I tell you how many workshop providers are quick to point out what's wrong but, besides "Don't do that..." offer no real solutions! Or, they pacify everyone by telling us we're all great and giving us nothing. Thanks" - Kevin [SAG,  actra and equity actor, Toronto & LA]"

"Sears and Switzer offers a very good audition class. And the information can help you make the most of your 3 minutes in there. It helps you get your head focused in the game, get out of the opportunity to perform , even in that three minutes, what helps you. It can help teach you how not to beat yourself up and second guess every second of a ship that has sailed. Well worth the time and investment." - Lynda Mason Green, actor and founder of Canadian Actor's Online

"Sears & Switzer was the first acting class I took upon my arrival to Toronto. It's here where I gained the confidence needed to stay in this great city and give professional acting a shot. - thanks for a great workshop!" LP

"I always loved the fall and this weather is starting to remind me of my excursions to class. I really enjoyed it and felt truly free to work and play. This was a tremendous help and I wanted to thank you both again. The film I recently made is having its red carpet premiere. If you can't make it down here to join me for the premiere, you should try to check it out in theatres!" - Shaun

 

"I've shot my first film and I booked a recurring role in the Steven Soderbergh tv series. We are shooting the second season right now! I took my first real serioius acting class at Sears & Switzer and always recall it fondly as a very important point in my life, when I realized that I might pursue a creative life instead of a corporate one. So thank-you for being such nurturing mentors!" - Ying

"Just a note to let you know that all the fine tutorage that I got from the advancing the camera classes is starting to pay off. I just finished filming a major commercial to screen in France.  I did my Tuesday shoot and they re-booked me for a Thursday shoot, a nice bonus. Also, my agent notified me that I was selected to play the part of a doctor in the first episode of a TV series. I can hardly wait for the next session of Advancing The Camera because there is always something new to be learned from each class."  - George

"What makes your workshop so good is more than just the practical things, in my opinion. You are both great teachers. You meticulously research and develop your "curriculum" and present it in a very thorough and intentional way. I so appreciate that! I can only imagine the amount of work you have done over the years tailoring this workshop (and all of your classes)! I'm certain that your encouragement and positive atmosphere that you create is also very intentional for the growth of your students. This is so essential to the "performing self" as you taught. Thank you! Honestly, I can't say enough. I have loved my time spent in your studio sitting under your teaching. Thank you for the expertise and experience that you bring to your students but also the skill in crafting classes/workshops and teaching with such encouragement and knowledge!" - Laurelle

"I highly recommend Sears & Switzer to anyone who is seriously interested in bettering their acting chops. David and Theresa's teaching style keeps you engaged and on your toes. I learned a lot about myself as an actress and gained confidence to tackle auditions with their guidance! :)" - Dana

"I just wanted to take a few minutes to say how great I think your Acting fundamentals workshop is! It is SO full of knowledge and action. I really enjoyed it and it really gave me the courage to follow a long lost and hidden dream. I went to Toronto every Thursday from Montreal and was never disappointed. I loved every single class and couldn't wait to get there.- LETTY"

"Your teaching style doesn't box people in emotionally, and encourages exploration of those places because everyone at some point feels love, anger, sadness, etc. though they may not show it, and it's important to be able to express them.  Thanks for providing that opportunity, and making it fun while it happens! I've enjoyed every minute of it." - Trina

"If anyone is thinking of getting back to class or looking for a new place to train, I had the great pleasure of taking the Focus on Film class with Sears and Switzer. David and Theresa create a wonderful environment for learning and their class is high energy, creative, fun, challenging and a great way to get practical on-camera experience. Their generosity and combined experience is staggering and they pack so much in to each and every class and use every minute possible. We all love teachers who love to teach and they clearly do. The class was a highlight of my week for the past 6 weeks. Highly recommend!!" - M.H.  

"An amazing experience. So much learning packed into two days. My head, and heart, is full. Thank you. -Dan"

"I wanted to thank you again for the awesome class. Every time I do one of your courses I feel like I can take on the world!! I deeply value everything you teach us. Thanks again!!" - Alastair

"Thanks for being such a strong, consistent, and nurturing foundation in the development of all the artists who are truly blessed for training with you! I for one remember my times with you fondly... and now find myself on The Neptune Theatre stage! You guys ROCK! xo Forever!" - Raven

"Just auditioned for a Casting Director who knew me but said he thought I showed some darker, tougher colours and range that he didn’t know I was capable of (thank you “Sears & Switzer” classes for giving me tools to flex and push myself). I didn’t book that actor role – but based on that audition, they’re writing in a principle role for me. What the what?!?!?! Strange things do happen. So I extend my thanks to you for your techniques, and also for your support and encouragement.  your classes have kept me on the ball, in the game and entertained." - K.  
 

"My experience at the Sears and Switzer Workshop was the best educational experience i have had in my lifetime. You both are the best acting coaches in the world. You are talented, professional, kind and compassionate to every one of your students. All your students feel respected and supported. You both are so wonderful and almost magical in improving your students self esteem." - Julia

"...just wanted to thank you for such a great experience in the scene study and film workshops. I’ve watched my DVD from the film class, and I’m really happy with the work I did. So glad I ended up taking that class! I feel I grew a lot as a performer in those workshops and gained much confidence. Thank you, Kristine"

"I thought it might be nice for you to hear that your techniques really did work for me.  You two were able to re-ignite my confidence and oil my rusty skills with your unique and highly-effective crash course. About a month after I took the class, I had a random Saturday audition.   I booked a Feature Film Lead [after going in for just an Actor role] and that is thanks to you. On top of that, the same week I won another audition for a Supporting role in a feature with Jason Knight and John Buchan at the casting helm.   I thank you from the bottom of my heart." -Terry
 

A wonderful experience for anyone wishing to pursue acting as a career or to polish an existing career. The experience and dedication of the teachers creates a great learning environment involving dynamic interactions with other actors in the class. Highly recommended for the serious student. -RS

"Things continue to go great!!  I really just wanted to let you know that I have just landed a Canadian and U.S. National commercial for GAIN!!  Again, because of the commercial audition weekend I did with you I just felt soooo comfortable in the audtion(s).  I was able to "get out of my head" and just play with the improvised audition. I think I mentioned this to you before in an email, but the over-riding choice I continue to bring to my auditions is to make BOLD CHOICES, and to just "go for it"   Auditions are not the place to be timid and unsure.  You literally only have a few seconds to make any sort of impression at all.  I continue to carry many of the processes I learned in all your classes to all my auditions and with this booking it just paid off HUGE.   Thanks so much, Steve"

"Through your tuition you have honestly given me an indescribable confidence! I practically bounced through the door to each class with excitement. Not only were classes fun, they were exhilarating and challenging. Every week I was able to explore an area of my performance that was new and previously untouched. I am so thankful to you both for pushing me to play roles that I had not yet encountered! In my experience as a student, there are few teachers who you really gell with, who you genuinely trust. From our first class together (swearing and all!) I knew Sears and Switzer was the place for me. You reminded me of why I love acting and how comfortable I feel in front of the camera. I'm now ready to go hard when I get home. So thank you. I'm sad to be leaving North America, but know I'll return soon enough. There are several exciting projects coming up for me back in Australia I'll keep you updated." -Jorja

I have just been out to my first audition since my weekend with you, and I landed the part!!  I received an "on the spot" Call-Back and then a subsequent Call-Back, and was next offered the part.  I had so been looking forward to getting in there and auditioning after my workshop with you both, because I really felt like I had a fire in my belly.  And I finally got the chance to "try out my new attitude!". I'll also be the principal actor in a series episode, filming in July.  I'm so very excited, but also wanted to share my news with you, because I was a very different person when I went into this audition, than I was before I took your class.  It really made a difference in my confidence level, approachability and just "being in the moment", which allowed me to give a more natural performance. - Michelle

 

I've taken a few courses from Sears & Switzer over the years and I treasure the lessons they've shared with me. At the conclusion of a Sears & Switzer workshop you'll leave with tools you can apply immediately, effectively, and consistently. When anyone asks me about acting classes the first thing I tell them to do is Google Sears & Switzer. Thank you David and Theresa; you guys rock! - Patrick

 

"Wanted to update you on how things have gone since I took your very valuable workshop a little over a year ago. I've done four good roles on different series (three TV and one web), a role in a film slated for the festival circuit and recently a video. In addition, I've done two commercials. What is really encouraging is getting a number of callbacks and being placed "on hold" four times even though I didn't end up booking the gig. It all comes back to the encouragement and knowledge gleaned from you two." - Bruce

 

"I just wanted to thank you both for such a great experience in the Advanced film class.  I've learned so much by taking your classes, especially the Commercial audition and Advanced film class.   Because of that, I had the opportunity to land my first commercial gig which filmed the morning after the last class.  Again, many thanks!" -Iman

"I just got my first TV role and its a principal role. It shoots for 2 weeks in August.  I actually found out about this audition from YOUR [Sears and Switzer Facebook Group] WEBSITE!!!!  SEE, IT DOES WORK!!!! I couldn't have done this without the training I received from your studio.  The one thing that has stuck with me as I go through the audition process is to make "Bold Choices" and to believe with all my being in the choice I make.  It has transformed my audition technique and I now walk away from auditions feeling great, whereas in the past I would sometimes chastise myself for not following through on any idea I may have thought about but never acted upon.  I want to thank you so much for everything and I look forward to seeing you again in the fall for another class."  - Cheers, Steve

"Sears and Switzer bring the goods! They are thoroughly skilled, well-trained practitioners who provide excellent training and reality-based constructive encouragement for both new and experienced performers. Further, they know the entire local and national industry scene inside and out. Having returned to the biz after several years away, I could not have asked for a better re-entry vehicle than their classes." - Bruce G.

"Yesterday I was working on set with G.C. and T.R. and we're sitting at lunch and G. starts by saying : I was taking classes with these amazing teachers, I don't know if you know David Switzer and Theresa Sears... And T. and I both jumped in : OMG they are AMAZING! Aren't they, he said! T. and I were encouraging him to take the audition workshop, T. says she books a lot because of what she learned from you! Thought I'd let you know that we all think you are just so amazing! Everything I learned, or was refreshed on, was very helpful in auditioning and working! I cannot get over how amazing your teaching skills are - very few teachers have been this remarkable in my life and be sure that I'm advertising your school with all of my love and passion for it!" - Annie xo

"I wanted to thank you both for a wonderful time last weekend. The voice-over seminar was an eye-opener for me. The animation work we did gave me a bit of a confidence boost, actually. I haven't pulled out some of the voices I'd used in a VERY long time, and really...it was just FUN. So, I have to thank you for reminding me that's there's more out there than just the 'straight read' (although those can be fun, too, ha-ha). By the way, the workshop has not only helped me with my reads, but has given me a few more tools to direct other talent when they come to record with me. So I need to thank you again for that! - Melinda

"just got back from Costa Rica shooting a feature, and i just shot another episodic . Things are going well...this is just the beginning i hope. I recommend your classes to everyone, thanks for helping me get my foot in the door!" - Roxanna

 “The audition class is a necessity... it turns GOOD ACTORS into WORKING ACTORS.” - Rachel Neville-Fox, Noble Talent

"I would like to thank you both for allowing me the opportunity to be a student for the Focus on Film class. Coupled with your extensive knowledge and your personable nature, you two have such a dynamic giving the confidence to new actors they need to pursue a career in this field. Simply put, you two are professionals! And I'm not one to buy the Slap Chop at 3AM, so after reading the "Compliments" section on your website, I was a bit skeptical.  I thought "They can't be THAT good." Well, you're not good. You're both remarkable!" -Phil-                                                              

"I just wanted to write and say what a great class the Audition Skills weekend was! I hoped to gain some new skills, practice and build some confidence from the class and that's exactly what I gained. So thank you. I think you are both incredibly gifted teachers, that you both have a strong eye and a vast range of knowledge and experience that is applied in practical ways through the class. I learned a bunch and had a really good time." - Jenny [from Calgary]

"the commercial audition weekend workshop was one of the most informative, fun and engaging experience in my acting career. Thanks for putting it on! You both were excellent hosts for us actors, and your positivity and encouragement meant a lot to us! Well worth it!   - TRAVIS"

"two of the very best teachers I have had the pleasure of working with in my career. They are personable, knowledgeable, kind, and are able to explain complicated ideas in a way that makes the student understand. They are also the sort of people that will go that extra step to help a student out. They make themselves available for advice and have been a source of support for myself and many other actors in Toronto." -Dan

"you two are absolutely fabulous teachers and make such a wonderful team. It is not hard to see why your courses are so popular and recommended. Be blessed as you light the way for others to follow their dreams." - Hope

"David and Theresa, I just wanted to thank you for everything. I wanted to let you know that my scene with Drew Barrymore went really well... it was totally surreal but great!  The scene went well, so I couldn't be happier! I had an amazing time and you two are absolutely incredible...you are so professional and love what you do so much.  I learned so much and I can't wait to get out there to more auditions!" -Shawn

"Thank you for the amazing voice over overview workshop this weekend it was the perfect introduction to the world I'm very tempted to step into. Your positive energy is contagious and the manner in which your feedback is expressed is priceless. You are simply amazing coaches/teachers" - Angeline

Don't know if you post BRAGGING bits but I landed a series of commercials to be shot in Hawaii. I leave on Thursday for 8 days. The classes I recently took definitely gave my confidence level a much needed kick in the ass! Here's to a divine year... cheers - Carrie

"I always recommend Sears & Switzer to my clients... just great."- Linda Butler personal manager, Butler Ruston Bell

"I managed to land my first gig on my first try - it was a commercial, a US national for Bud Light.  Needless to say I was surprised and thrilled to get it, and shooting it was a great super-fun experience - definitely something I could get used to!  Since then I've managed to be cast in a short film to air on Bravo and was fortunate enough to land a Sears holiday commercial that just shot this past weekend. I should mention that I wouldn't be enjoying this moderate bit of success I've had lately if not for having taken classes with you guys at the studio.  I've gotten so much out of your classes, I definitely refer to things you've taught me when I'm about to enter an audition or work on set.  THANK YOU!   I couldn't have gotten this far without your help.  :)"  - Ken  

Thank you both so much for all of the wonderful new skills I learned this past weekend after taking your course. I think I learned more in those two days then I did in 4 years of University. Now we'll see if I can land some work! - Cara

"If the proof is in the pudding, I'm tasty butterscotch. I earned enough credits for full Actra membership within 8 months of the class.  Last week I shot my twenty-second commercial.  I can honestly say that I think about your advice every time I audition right down to my slate.  In the last few months I've landed every spot for which I've auditioned save one or two.  Needless to say, my agent loves me...  The spots have been wrapped around some movies and TV spots so I could not be happier with the way my career has been going. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for your excellent teaching and advice."  - Drew

"Well, it's been a little over a year since I left the "Sears & Switzer" nest and I thought I'd drop a quick note to let you know how I'm doing. Wow!  What a year!!! Firstly, I want to say thank you.  All your direction, guidance and advice continues to pay-off.  I'm forever taking your words into each and every audition- From scoring a great gig on the Family Channel (the spots won 2 Bessies) through to a small role on a CBC mini-series this fall, plus good roles in three plays including a recent Fringe Festival play (where I received a really great review in Eye magazine), 6 student/indie movies,  auditioning like mad and gaining my Actra Apprentice status it has all been a great experience or as the kids say these days, "It's all Good". I run into many actors from your classes and we talk endlessly about the skills that we picked up while under your spotlight. (I hear that it's slow right now...well if that's the case than I don't know what actors are doing, because in all honesty if I was any busier I couldn't keep up!--but that comes from the work ethic that you impressed upon me that I have to work just as hard at getting work as my agent does--if not more!)"  -Thanks W.P. 

 

"OK, since I did your awesome class I've booked 3 commercials in one month and I am hitting an 80-90% call-back ratio THANKS, Rob"

"I did your commercial audition workshop and wanted to let you know that I booked my first U.S National Commercial today. I've had a few regional commercials but this is my first union booking. Taking your workshop made auditioning easier and less mysterious!" -Linda  

AND OOPS THEY DID IT AGAIN: "not long after... like real soon after... I took your weekend course... I landed an USA National spot...airing down south so I've never seen but those cheques are rolling in.... Now I can say that I really feel more confident in my auditions for commercials...(which I used to never land) just as I am in TV/Film [which always seems to be easier  for me to land than those simple, stupid one line spots that bring in the bigggggg $$$$$$...]" -Diana

 "Hi Theresa, Hi David, Yesterday I had my first shooting day with Atom Egoyan he is just great - and the whole shooting was so great. I am so happy I did a good job. And I'm also happy that I took your course. During my preparation I remembered a lot of tips you gave me specially for the close ups. I want to thank you for your support you are great teachers. I had to do they whole scene in a close up and of course a master. But before we did a rehearsal, Atom wanted to see what I'm going to do Bruce Greenwood was my partner and he was just listening and I told them my story - it was so quiet after and than Atom said " beautiful" I got a lot of compliments from all the other actors. I didn't realize that everybody was watching who I am and what I'm going to do. Nobody knows me of course. But then Arsenine his wife came to me and said that they are very happy to have here. Bruce Greenwood as my partner wow! He is a very good actor but also a very nice colleague. And after the whole shooting Atom came to me and said "you are a great actress" Hmmmmmmm!! So you can imagine - I'm flying now somewhere in the clouds. This was my first shooting day in short form. And I just wanted to say thank you for your coaching and being just great teachers. - From cloud seven... Susan"

"Hi David and Theresa... I wanted to let you know I'm filming my first commercial April 20,  An American production. "YIPPEE!" I am dedicating my first commercial to both of you, as previously mentioned.  Thank you for ALL YOUR SUPPORT, GREAT TEACHING AND ENCOURAGEMENT!"  -Pamela

"Just wanted to thank you again for an exhilarating, fantastic and inspiring class. I know for a fact that I wasn't the only person bummed out about it being our last class last night! It was something I personally looked forward to every week after having a mind numbing 9-5 work day. After every class I felt more alive and confident about my journey in becoming a successful actress, and I cannot express my gratitude to you both for the welcoming atmosphere and your open door policy. - Kayla"

Last September, I worked on the movie "Where The Truth Lies", I was in a scene with actors Maury Chaykin, Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth. I was directed by Atom Egoyan and spent approximately 3 weeks working on this movie set, what an amazing experience!!!!. The movie premiered at the Cannes Festival. my first union credit was an actor role on the T.V series "Missing", starring Vivica Fox and Mark Consuelos. You could imagine how thrilled I was, what a great Feeling!!!!!.

Well, it has been quite an eventful 10 months since studying at Sears & Switzer, thanks for introducing me into the world of acting ( Fundamentals course), thanks for showing me how the camera works (Focus on Film course) and finally thanks for being great teachers!!!!!!!!. I have only just started my career.......the sky's the limit........"

I certainly appreciated being given the opportunity to practice so many test-auditions "on camera" under your guidance. Your enthusiasm, sense of humour and gentle yet specific team coaching style was perfect.  I feel a lot better equipped since taking your course.  - Sincerely, Julia

Good morning Teresa and David, Thank you very much for another terrific acting experience. I often wonder how I am ever going to remember the multitude of valuable lessons you cram into such a short time but it never ceases to amaze me how often lessons you taught me pop into my mind at the appropriate time. I have so many things to learn in this business and the desire of people like yourselves to share your knowledge makes this difficult, but wonderful, craft a little easier to bear. -Norm

" Really practical classes that make a difference to working actors... I'm always telling people to study there..."- Craig Alexander, ACTOR MANAGER

Hi David and Theresa, I just wanted to send you a quick note thanking you again for the audition weekend I just completed. It was certainly intense and challenging, and extremely educational. Once again, great class! hope to take future classes with you guys. It was very enjoyable and you both do an excellent job of presenting the material and keeping the focus of the class.  Hope to see you at my show at the  Tarragon next week. -Mark

As always, training with the two of you was an exciting, inspirational, and extremely enjoyable experience!!! I also felt that we were really blessed with a very special talented and eclectic group of young actors on that particular weekend! Immediately after the classes I signed with Warren Beatty and AAB Talent. I'm really feeling "turbo-charged" about auditioning again! Thanks for reminding me about how much fun it can be. Yesterday, on the set of: "Zoom" I ended up in a scene with Chevy Chase, and was able to ad-lib some business with him as comedic scientists! The crew burst out laughing after the cut; Here's hoping it's a keeper for the film...It felt like an audition that went well! -Brad

I have been doing many commercials here in Athens, GREECE. I have to say that everything we learned in your class was extremely helpful and was exactly what the casting directors were looking for. I thank you for that. I  did a Nestle Crunch commercial on Wednesday. All I did was make them "wish that they were me". It really works! -Elia

" I suggest scene study with Sears & Switzer to my clients all the time! I've seen the positive results."- Robyn Friedman personal manager AMI [formerly of Fusion Talent]

Your Scene Study class really helped me to break down a scene, add levels of emotion and energy to a script. You also taught me technique and honesty amongst other things. I wanted to take the time and Thank You for what you've taught me. And that Direction (taking it I should say) is the easiest thing for me. I love it. But finding Direction - well that came from you both. - Dave

Hello Theresa and David! This is just a quick little note to thank you both very much for an extremely worthwhile weekend. Your workshop ran like a well rehearsed and finely tuned show. You created a thoroughly positive, constructive, and entertaining atmosphere that went a long way to opening the doors for experimentation. I delighted in the efficiency with which you took us through the exercises and passed on innumerable tips - and you managed to do this without making me feel like a small calf in a herd. I learned a great deal from you...and have I got notes! Yipee! -AMY

Even though I thought I knew how to audition, I quickly discovered during the weekend that I had not and why! Since taking your course, I have only had 2 commercial auditions, and been cast in 4 commercials! My current role is in the musical comedy 'Pinchpenny Phantom of the Opera' playing the roles of 7 Divas (constantly getting killed off). What fun! I have just been cast in the upcoming premier performance of 'The Dance of the Dead' at Canadian Stage. I just wanted to write, and thank you for giving me the advice I needed to be successful at auditions!-Fran

Hi David and Theresa, I just completed your class on Acting fundamentals this past Thursday, and I felt compelled to let you know just how amazing I thought it was. I must admit that when I was looking into taking the class I was skeptical as to how much I could really learn in only four classes. Well, all I can say is that you totally blew me away. Your teaching techniques are fun, easy to understand and comprehend and your studio  is clean and very professional. The best day of the past four weeks have definitely been Thursday nights when I studied with you guys. Thank you for igniting in me something that I thought was gone.         - Your biggest fan, Cathy

By the end of the weekend I just felt so much more comfortable in my own skin in front of the camera. You guys accomplished so much more in one weekend than I could have possibly asked for in any course and I really appreciate that. Thank you, Saeideh

Dear David and Theresa, You've always been so supportive of me and my career. I wanted to fill you in on my good news. Everything has fallen into place. Just recently I have been booking half of all my auditions. I've been doing really dynamic work and I'm seeing it in the bookings and paychecks. Every time I work I use techniques that I've learned from you. I have my US work papers and a few NY agents wanting me to sign up. I will still put focus into NY but I'm in no rush because things are going so well here. -Lisa

Dear Theresa and David: I can't fully express my appreciation for the session we had Wednesday. I received the script (7th revision), on Sunday. I had " Hans " in my mindset, fleshing him out and spinning ideas to the Director who was on set in Bulgaria, almost all of which he liked. (Those Bulgarian long-distance phone calls will be murder). However, I hadn't read the part aloud until the session. You gave me confidence with the character, and useful insights in general. Thanks. " I must always be ready to submit myself unto correction..."; one never ceases to learn, knowledge being power. See you in the advanced workshop. JP

I would like to thank you, David and Teresa. You two are amazing! It seemed that when ever I needed a boost, you guys knew when to give it! When my confidence in my abilities were shaky, the two of you made me look inside... You two are an extremely talented pair, and I am humbled and grateful to have studied under you!   Ciao -Georgia

Dear Theresa & David... My goodness, it's been a whirlwind since I last saw you both in Fundamentals, Focus on Film and Scene Study! As you may recall, I got picked up by [*agency*] immediately and have since booked 9 commercials, 6 print campaigns, corporate & music videos, and an independent short film. I am now a full ACTRA member. Thanks again for everything! We all owe you a lot!! -Jennifer

Thanks for the kind words over the years...

and thanks for teaching us!
