    I first learned about Kristi's class from several other actors who highly recommended her to…read moreimprove on their auditions and to start booking jobs. I was nervous the first day but Kristi creates a welcoming and supportive environment. I felt safe to express myself, make mistakes and to ask questions. The format of the class starts with brief introductions to the other friendly drop in students then warm up exercises which are always different and thought provoking. Then we take turns performing cold reads into the camera. She chooses the scenes and gives us options and flexibility on what we want to work on. (If we let her know ahead of time she will email us the scripts so we have more time to prepare. )Then we get to watch the playback of our performances and receive constructive feedback right then and there that we can immediately implement into our second take of the scene. Kristi gives expert advice and encourages us to be creative and try different things. She can help pinpoint weaknesses and strengths and how exactly to improve upon them. I've gained confidence as an actor and learned techniques that work for me. It's also been helpful to observe the other students perform different scenes and to hear Kristi's feedback for them. I highly recommend bringing a notebook to remember her insightful advice and our discussions. Kristi is a great teacher, personable, entertaining and she knows what she's talking about. I can't emphasize enough how fun her class is! We are all learning and laughing and discovering ourselves- it's an enriching experience. Another bonus is she lets you keep the recordings which helps if you don't have a reel to send out to auditions yet. Anyone can take this class, it's convenient and not too expensive, I don't think there's a better way to spend a Thursday night!

    Kristi is a fantastic teacher! Friendly, welcoming, and very helpful for actors of all experience…read morelevels. I've booked a few gigs thanks to her coaching and lessons!

    Arin, Ray, and Kyle were excellent instructors…read more In just two Zoom sessions, Arin gave us enough information to pass the written test. All I had to do was pay attention. On the range, Ray and Kyle were direct and firm but patient and encouraging. Off the range, they were professional and friendly. I've never ridden a motorcycle before, and the last time I really rode a bicycle was as a teen, 30+ years ago. They still manged to teach this old dog new tricks. In just two days, I went from walking the bike and figuring out the sweet spot on the clutch to braking, cornering, swerving.

    Class was good and I learned a lot as a new rider. The instructors covered the material well and…read moregave useful information throughout the course. One thing I noticed though was that Kyle's teaching style is very hands-off. As a brand-new learner, it sometimes felt more like a "you'll learn if you make mistakes" approach rather than more active guidance and correction. Some people may prefer that style, but beginners who need more step-by-step coaching may struggle a bit. Also, I wish there were early morning class options. Riding from 12pm-4pm can get really hot, especially for beginners wearing full gear out in the sun. Overall still a good class experience, just a few things I think could make it better.
