Testimonials!
I just wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to Kathy Wickline Casting and their phenomenal instructor, Dave Thomas. I have applied what I learned to land a lead in an industrial video just recently! I was completely prepared and managed to make a great impression on the producer and director, as well as the client! Your support and instruction definitely came into play that day...THANK YOU SO MUCH! Olyvia Bollin
I was looking to fill the holes in my performances, and be competent as well as passionate. I didn’t understand why I had such a hard time in auditions. After taking Dave’s class, I understand how to hit words and bring a script to life. I would recommend this class to an actor looking to take their career to the next level. Alice Wills
Dave’s Spokesperson Class prepares you for your next casting call. You will rise to a higher level and he will make sure you know what to expect and prepare for it. Thank you Dave for another informative and engaging class, and although you presented us with every possible scenario we could encounter, you did it in such a way that made it fun, enjoyable and not overwhelming.
