As a teacher, he knows exactly how to work with and grow an actor at any level from beginner to advanced. What I love most is that Henry gives each actor an individually catered learning experience, pinpointing exactly the weaknesses and strengths of each particular person. He is generous with his time and mentorship both in and outside of class, and certainly has gone above and beyond in helping me over the years. His classes never feel stagnant; I learn something new from him every time. He is encouraging and supportive while not being afraid to give constructive criticism when needed. I look forward to a lifelong learning experience with him. Thank you Henry!!

NOV 30, 2018 - Don't know why this was taken down Yelp! but I am reposting:…read more Finally an audition yesterday (been a bit quiet lol) and as always, warm-up before going in with 10 counts of happy, ten counts of sad etc. The energy and electricity I could feel in my body radiating to my arms before I went in was amazing. I went in with that energy and was so present about what I was feeling and how it changed as the audition went on. I did what was expected of me, what I have been taught: the job was the audition and I showed up for that job in a way that I know I don't always...and it made a huge difference. Whether I get the part or not, it doesn't matter. It was a chance to have a practical application of the theories from MDS. I was prepared and did what I was trained to do; the outcome is irrelevant. Thank you Michael for your guidance, wisdom and techniques. And thank you to my classmates who through their energy and support, help me to find and be the actor I want to be. Much love! Aug 8 - So follow up...I didn't get the part but as I said, no problem as the audition was the job and I nailed it. However, they called me back for another part and doing the exact same technique, I booked it!!!! Michael, I can't thank you enough. Your support, encouragement and techniques have helped me to be more confident in my auditions and it's paying off :-)

If you enjoy shopping for natural lotions and potions as much as I do, you simply must take Rene's…read moreclasses. Like most women, I've wasted lots of time and money looking everywhere for just the right face and body products, only to be disappointed time and time again. That's when I thought I should just make my own, according to my own specifications. I've looked everywhere for soap and lotion making classes, and none of them appealed to me as much as Rene's because of her high standards of using organic and natural ingredients. After the first class, i was hooked. Why? My own vanity. Rene is the poster child for good skin. She has no makeup on and her skin is so smooth and blemish free! She is her own walking testimonial to the products she creates. When I heard how old Rene is, I knew I had to learn from her as much as possible because she looks over 15 years younger. My favourite products I've learned to make at Soap Making School so far are soaps (of course), butters, lotions, makeup remover, and shampoo. I read a lot about ingredients but Rene has encyclopedic knowledge about numerous ingredients that surpass anyone I've ever met. Needless to say, I've learned a lot from her. In class she is generous, patient, and so kind and sweet even when students mess things up. Even if you can't take her class just yet, I'd recommend signing up for her free newsletters. They are a wealth of information. If you are lucky enough to have the time to take a class, I'd recommend signing up early since I've seen how quickly some of Rene's classes fill up. Rene is one woman soap making empire. Besides all the selfish reasons I signed up for her classes, it's a treat to support small ethically-run businesses.
