Public Speaking Class November 12, 2017Wouldn’t go again. Wasn’t meant for me. If you have social anxiety then this is for you but if you don’t then stay home.

Elisee E.
Acting August 12, 2017I loved it. I loved the atmosphere and I also loved the fact that everyone seem to have had a hunger for the acting life.
-
Nimeta M.
Acting July 29, 2017Amazing! Totally inspiring and plan on taking actual classes soon.

Estevan D.
Public Speaking Class June 30, 2017The class is well structured and it focuses on each individuals strenghths/weaknesses pertaining to their public speaking skills. Instructor gives back constructive critism and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the class. The most interesting aspect of this class is learning about the students background, culture, and careers and how their public speaking skills effects their daily living. It was a pleasure to have taken a free trial class, however it was a bit too pricey for me.

Nala P.
Social Anxiety Class May 8, 2017I found the social anxiety class to be very helpful and engaging. I rated my experience a 4/5 because although I did enjoy the class, my nerves were still getting to me. Overall, I thought the class was great and I look forward to attending the next class.

Acting May 1, 2017Excellent way to find SOME cool classes
-
Mikaela F.
Acting April 24, 2017Wasn't really interactive enough for me to say I'll pay my money and commit to this. But I did draw some pointers from what the instructor told his regulars based on their acting.
-
Hari S.
Acting April 22, 2017Not really a class as you are brought in to be an audience for other actors practicing their skills. Waste of time except for watching other acting students struggle. I would have preferred at least five minutes of real acting itself and not being a passive audience member. I'd highly recommend intro to improv at The Magnet Theater for a much better experience

Chansoo S.
Public Speaking Class April 12, 2017I read about this class in the book "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain and I had to visit. The class uses gradual exposure to reduce anxiety and enhance comfort when speaking in front of an audience. There were people from all backgrounds from writers and litigation attorneys to museum curators and investment bankers. In spite of their varied professions, they all contributed to a welcoming environment for everyone to feel confident to speak up. I signed up for a package and will have my first non-trial visit next week.

Acting February 11, 2017I really enjoy the class. I learned How to be yourself in a scene instead of acting. I will join the class next month.

Public Speaking Class January 22, 2017Great experience
-
Michelle K.
Acting January 14, 2017The instructor did not interact with the guests. It was a waste of time. Don't bother. You just sit and watch other students act. It was a class for those who pay, not for prospective clients. The studio should have designated classes for those who are already students and those who are not.

Acting July 30, 2016I liked the class overall but I wish there would have been a chance to participate rather than just watching the entire time.

Astu T.
Public Speaking Class September 30, 2015Looks like a great class with a great teacher. Picked up a couple of pointers from just watching the regulars presentations and the feedback they received.
-
Rani A.
Public Speaking Class September 5, 2015I only attended the 2nd half of the class. The instructor seemed to be well proficient in his job and knew how to teach the students. I would consider it as a good way to improve your public speaking skills.
I wanted myself to practice as well. I didn't see myself being engaged in the class so much by watching other people speak.
Furthermore, the class is $400 for 12 1-hour sessions, which in my opinion is very expensive and shocking. -
Nicholas L.
Social Anxiety Class August 30, 2015I liked that it was not set up like a traditional classroom. We arranged the desks in a circle and talked and broke off into groups for different exercises. It was really good. Great instructor too!
-
Stella P.
Public Speaking Class July 2, 2015Cool class! I took advantage of the free introductory class. The additional classes are a bit out of my price range but, if you have additional money to spend, it's worth doing!

Acting January 17, 2015the acting class was really fun. we learned to use our imagination and pretend play-- it's like back when we were little. it's really interesting that people of various ages showed up-- acting is not just for the young and beautiful !
