She encourages, empowers, and uplifts you and helps you to grow. To be honest, you could take a class as a way to unconventionally process through any trauma triggers that come up during class. You can't not grow while working with her. It doesn't matter if it's in person or through zoom. Working with her is great! Her zoom class was so good! You will gain so much valuable information whether you are local or not! She has the sweetest smile and you can really tell that she cares for her students and is invested in helping them to grow. Let this be the review you needed to make the decision to work with the Chekov Studio!

There are so many great things about this class.

She tapes you every week, gives clear directions when needed for another take and shows you what worked and didn't before you leave. She's specific and open to all questions.

Ava's extensive experience behind-the-scenes, unfolds before your eyes as Ava provides how-to-succeed tips and practical information on everything related to commercial auditions and booking. You will: * Learn about the casting process and the people involved. This alone, brings everything into perspective. * Understand the difference between those who book and those who don't. * Learn the types of commercials (and what you need to do to stand out). * Obtain practical experience (taped) and have feedback at every session. Ava's perspective is spot-on and so very helpful. I really appreciated her directness and what she has told me, has made such a difference in the way I audition. But, the most valuable thing I got from this class, was Ava's willingness to answer so many other questions I had (e.g. agent selection, etc.) outside of class. Ava is truly genuine and sincere when she says she wants to help you succeed. I am so grateful. I highly recommend this class. Every minute is jam-packed with content, practice, feedback, and it's so much fun! P.S. Ava.... I still want a steering wheel! It just makes me giggle. :-)

I got in on my flight and needed to film the next morning before work earlyyyyyyyy. I had never met her but had a recommendation from a friend and she was so easy to talk to (you definitely want that when you are trying to find someone to film you especially when it is already a quick turn around time crunch). She is always super prepared, looking at my sides and already has ideas when I get there. Beyond all the technicality, she is such a great coach and she will work with you to get that ultimate truth. I feel that some of my best performances have come from working with Colleen. She even edited and submitted one for me right then and there because I had to get to an appointment. She understands the actor life, the stressors of auditioning and immediately brings you to the present. She is also your biggest fan, but also a good critic and will provide constructive feedback to get your best performance. When I coach with her I feel like I get a private class and it is always a reminder that if I come with my prep, she takes it to the next level. Colleen is my go to for filming auditions in LA. I love this woman! And she has the biggest heart.

I've gotten so much value out of working with Jona through Career Activate. The quality of the…read morematerial is excellent, but what really sets it apart is the access--to real industry professionals, thoughtful masterminds every quarter, and a smart, supportive community of actors who are actually working and thinking strategically about their careers. The masterminds alone are worth it. Being able to hear directly from industry pros and then process that information alongside other actors has helped me sharpen my perspective and make better decisions, instead of just reacting out of anxiety or guesswork. I especially highly recommend Jona's "Getting Rich in Your Niche" module. Once I went through that work, I got headshots that genuinely worked for me and clearly told the industry how to cast me. It brought focus and alignment to how I present myself, and the results were tangible. Career Activate is practical, clear-eyed, and rooted in how the business actually works. I highly recommend Jona to any actor who wants smart guidance, strong community, and tools that lead to real momentum--not just inspiration.

But I applied the specific tips I got in this course to re-edit my reel without new footage, make it much more cohesive. After just a few months, a filmmaker did a deep search in my niche on IMDb, saw my newly edited reel and contacted me with an offer for a lead role in a feature film that he had struggled to find the right actor for. That's just one example of a tool I gained from this course that I'm still able to benefit from because I now review and refine my materials continuously - not just for the sake of shaking things up but with a clear strategy and direction in mind.

I have been wanting to take her workshops for quite some time but kept missing them so when I found out she was teaching ongoing classes it was a no brainer for me. The LA ongoing class is pretty small since it just began so you get a lot of one on one coaching with Mary which is why I highly recommend this class! She is very specific with her feedback and is very invested in the success/growth of her students as artists and their current SAG/AFTRA status. If you are not familiar with Mary McCusker's work make sure you look up her IMDB profile.

The training classes and workshops are formatted to present a real perspective of how it feels to be a working actor. I've had the pleasure of taking several classes and workshops (commercial auditioning, voiceover training, improvisation, on camera scene study, and ongoing on camera acting classes) and from day one I've been treated with professionalism and as an actor; not just a student. The first workshop (and most others) I took was even structured like a real casting audition; with a sign in sheet, copy handouts, and a cold read audition. It was initially awkward, but it was extremely helpful to prepare me for real life audition scenarios. I'm also very impressed with how much Cody and the rest of the team really care about the student's growth and success. Cody makes time to have personal one on one sessions to meet with the students and discuss their goals and plans. He also provides guidance on how to navigate beginning your career as an actor; providing sample resumes, cover letters, and a listing of agencies to start with. The Studio also took my first headshots (for a fee) and I was extremely pleased! In truth, I got my first agent and booking within 2 months of getting my headshots and taking my first two workshops with Studio 24. I highly recommend this business and this team. They not only provide teaching and guidance on how to be a better actor, but they are instrumental in helping people understand and navigate the 'business' of acting. Studio 24 has been, and continues to be, a great resource for me as an actor. I'm continually learning to better my craft and being given a supportive environment when I need guidance on the business aspects. Another great thing about Studio 24 is that once you've been a student, you become a part of the community of resources and actors. If you are just starting out, Studio 24 will definitely provide you a strong foundation to start your career. And if you're a working actor, Studio 24 is a great place to continue to hone your craft and take advantage of the knowledge and experience of the team (They are industry professionals and their classes often offer opportunities to learn from other working industry professionals). Overall, Studio 24 is a great resource.
