I just finished shooting my first real acting job (student film) and I suppose now would be the…read moreperfect time to give my long overdue review for Doug. Doug is more than just an acting teacher - since he has a background in psychology, he is really good at helping actors deal with the many mental blocks and self-sabotage that get in our way when trying to perform, especially when under the pressure of auditions. But he's not just some rah-rah guy. He's had a pretty successful acting career himself, and he understands how to immerse oneself in the circumstances and life of the character so as to make a performance as truthful as possible. He will ask you all the right questions about what you know about your character, and soon you'll begin to ask yourself those same questions. I first became interested in Doug's classes because I heard that he gears everything towards getting work in TV/film. I think it may have been fate that I decided to start taking lessons with him because he's exactly the type of coach I needed. Acting for TV/film has a lot of specific techniques that I had no idea about until I started working with Doug. Maybe more importantly, some actors tend to have bad habits that need to be trained out of them to read properly on the big and small screen. Besides the technical stuff, Doug is super chill, funny, and he cares about all his students.

Seriously meeting Doug and taking his classes is one of best things that happened in my life!…read more I can't even express how much I appreciate Doug Warhit. He's a legendary coach and actor, he genuinely cares about everyone he works with, and he knows how to get the best out of people. His precision is so amazing because there will be tons of things from little to big that we don't notice we do on camera but Doug helps bring awareness to it and correct it. His techniques are amazing and help a person actually give a realistic performance and express legitimate emotions when acting rather than trying hard to fake a certain emotion. So many thanks to Doug Warhit!

Very knowledgeable teacher, but not a good fit for me…read more I'm new to acting and have been a professional musician my whole life. After injuries from drumming made it hard to continue, I wanted to stay creative--so I turned to acting. Gordon Parks--one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century, and also a director, painter, and musician--once said, when asked why he worked in so many forms: "I'm a creative person. The medium doesn't matter." That's how I feel too. Unfortunately, my experience at Stuart Rogers Studios felt no different than other acting schools I've tried--where ego dominates the room. As a teacher myself, I believe great teaching should be nurturing and empowering. That was not my experience here. I appreciate the knowledge shared, but this studio wasn't the right environment for me for this reason, "The best teachers empower, not diminish" This is just my personal experience and opinion. Others may feel differently.

After many acting classes that were "resume builders" I interviewed with Stuart at Stuart Rogers…read moreStudios. He asked me what my goals were and ultimately, I wanted a solid process that I could trust, that works for me and that I would fall in love with acting again, after so many classes that left me feeling empty and drained inside. Also, before I moved to LA, I was in a film where I was recommended to check him out and was told that "Stuart can look at your acting and diagnose what is going on, on the spot". I found that to be exactly true. I can confidently say I have an acting process that works for me, for how my brain works. With my process, I have found joy and curiosity in my work. The desire to really dig deep and get to the bottom of what makes a character tick. I also love that my process is transferrable to my auditions where I have only a little amount of time to prep. I love that I take me into every character, not putting on a character. Even if this wasn't an acting class, it is a workshop in philosophy and the human condition. I walk away from class wanting to be a better human and less judgemental, but with understanding and curiosity.

So at some point I chose to resume my acting passion. We found Alexia Robinson Studios and I started my acting classes. So far it's been a wonderful experience. The environment is great. We get new scenes every two or three weeks and we work them with Alexia. She's so supportive and inspirational. What's more is that she's a professional. She's worked in the business and knows how things work. She's given us so much advice and altogether I feel so confident. It's a great class and I recommend it to anyone who wants to get involved with acting as their career.

If you're looking to write a comedy pilot script, I highly recommend Jackie Geary's pilot class…read more Besides being a successful comedic actor, Jackie's comedy writing has been optioned at Warner Brothers and TBS. I was thrilled to have an opportunity to learn from someone that currently works in the business. I went from only a log line to a 35 page sitcom script that I'm elated with in 2 months. It's an enormous amount of work, but if you're willing to put in the effort, Jackie will be there with you every step of the way. She teaches invaluable tools of comedy that help you develop a solid pitch document, outline and finally the script. I learned a ton in a short amount of time. The focus is always on how her teachings apply to your own writing and what you can do to make your ideas come to life. Along with Jackie, I was also lucky to have a fun, talented and supportive group of writers in the class to share the experience with along the way. I feel I now have the skills to write more sitcom pilots and infuse comedy in all my writing, if I so choose. I wouldn't have been able to say that with any confidence before this class. It's well worth the time and investment!!

I had taken acting classes in the past but these classes really unlocked how to work with material and perform for camera in a natural and real way. Not so much script analyzation with a partner and more actually getting in there and doing it. Less head stuff and more action. I loved the weeks I spent in these classes and made some amazing friends as well. Jamison and Jackie are geniuses in their craft and I will definitely be taking more classes with them in the future.

In a "here's the tools to get you where you're trying to go" way. Her understanding of story and text is like no one I've ever worked with before. Every time I get a scene, I do all my work on it (practical skills Sarah has taught me that are becoming habits) and then I wonder what new revelations I never thought of Sarah will bring to light as we work on the scene together. Ideas that will bring out emotion that is personal to me, make the work juicier, and overall serve the story. First time in my life I've had a process that challenges me and builds practical acting muscles; physical, emotional, and technical. I've never been more proud of my work than when I coach with Sarah.
