Excellent classes and services- helpful teachers, and great times for being open…read more There have been new classes opening up, and through my time being with them and doing their classes, they've provided excellent customer service and a great atmosphere for multiple events- such as for doing tabletop board games, painting miniature pieces for the boardgames or for art, workshop for building items used in Live Action RolePlay events, and soon they're planning on taking extra days to take classmates on "field trips" to various gaming and social areas for swordfighting and performing stage acts and games for both adults and kids alike. I do wish there were more people going to these classes, however, as having minimal people doesn't exactly put out all the fun and excitement that could be had- the more there can be with us, the more events that can be done, and even more field trips that can be attained! I go here often, and I try to recommend it to anyone who's in acting, likes tabletop gaming, or is looking for something new to do rather than sit at home on friday nights or saturday nights, or any other weekday night available.

His feedback is honest, and incredibly helpful, and always comes from a place of wanting to bring out the best in every actor. What really stands out is how much G clearly knows, his knowledge of the craft and how generously he shares that knowledge. He breaks things down in a way that actually clicks, and makes perfect sense, like "wow how could I have not thought about that ?" And you walk out of class feeling more confident, more focused, and genuinely inspired. On top of all that, he's got a seriously handsome, charismatic presence that makes the whole experience even more memorable. A true five-star class and an easy hands down YES recommendation !

She arrived right on time & had everyone at my fiancé's job recording the performance! She showed up in the pink monkey suit playing a small guitar & sang 2 songs. They provided a pink stuffed monkey to match the costume & a letter from me to my fiancé. I didn't get to choose the songs but they were still great nonetheless. I highly recommend using their services when you want to make someone's day. I wasn't sure who was more pink, the monkey or my fiancé from being so surprised!

Oh, and did I mention that I came up with this idea less than a week before we needed it to happen? Thank you Justeen! We asked for a chicken witty and entertaining enough for our super fun and intelligent teacher, that the parents would laugh at AND that the kids would enjoy, and you definitely pulled it off! Chuck, you are a phenomenal chicken!!! All I had to do was make a phone call and then fill out the email questionnaire and Chuck tailored our presentation just for us! It was fun and you personalized it just enough. It never sounded like you were reading a script or doing the same tired old act. Upbeat and fun...even at the last minute. When the schedule changed at the very last minute, I was afraid they wouldn't be able to make it happen, and I worried about an increased fee since all we had to work with was our donation money. Not a problem. They were completely accommodating, no extra fee, and they kept in contact with me every step of the way. Chuck arrived just as planned and everything went off without a hitch. I will absolutely use A Class Act again. Chuck tells us he does 40 different characters, and I can't wait to see some more. He's very talented, polite and patient. This really is a class act service!

Patricia is a brilliant Renaissance woman. She is what you get when you mix technical excellence…read moreand style with humility, compassion, and a lifelong commitment to the craft. She is simply the best! I feel incredibly lucky to have met Patricia and begun my singing journey with her. I've been a student at Studio Shanks since 2018, when I was fresh out of college and looking for a voice teacher who could earnestly teach me how to sing. At the time, there were flashy online ads for folks that could "make you a superstar" and all of it felt so loud and nothing seemed to fit. At one point Patricia returned my call. Immediately I knew that she was the right teacher for me. It was obvious that she is not just naturally fun and easygoing, but also a true technician when it comes to the craft of singing. It's been a few years since we began working together. I've discovered that singing is something that can be learned at any age. It requires hard work, but it can be done. Luckily, Patricia is entirely dedicated to the growth and success of her students. Knowing this makes it much easier to bring my own effort during and between classes. I am honestly amazed at how, despite having worked with many respected luminaries in the field, Patricia remains humble and always with a sense of humor that puts me at ease. She is everything that comprises a professional artist and educator. What I love most is that she cuts through the noise and focuses on pure foundations. That means that she is able to work with vocalists ranging from the most contemporary pop styles to opera to musical theatre and beyond. All kinds of singing require the same basic knowledge of healthy and safe vocal techniques. At Studio Shanks, everything counts and everything matters. Thank you so much, Patricia!

Thank you very much for communicating. I would love to take singing lessons with you.read more
