I wish I had more in person, one on one training. I'd also think it would be great if there was a short lesson from the teacher at the beginning going through the basics again and doing a run through on what to remember when on camera. Overall, it's a wonderful class.

What a great class! Mark is an incredibly gifted teacher with a "sixth sense" on how to help each student achieve their best performances on camera. I learned so much in just a few hours!

Good class. Mark and Karen are both encouraging and provide great tips on how to improve your acting. I would've loved if the class were a bit more wholesome (less cursing and more encouraging, lighter scripts) though the class does push individuals to feel the character and make the part their own.
