"Dave's class was jam packed with great information. Dave graciously shared many life experiences in the acting world that helped him shape his career. It was a comfortable and welcoming learning experience.I would highly recommend this hands on workshop for new and seasoned actors." Charlene C.

"I had the privilege of taking two of Dave's classes fairly recently and have applied what I learned to land a lead in an industrial video just recently! I found myself having to rely on improv skills and professionalism when my adult co-lead showed up extremely unprepared! I was completely prepared and managed to make a great impression on the producer and director as well as the client! " Olyvia B.
