[NEohioPAL] Actor Mike Goulis speaks out about Houde School

[Jessica Houde]

"I started taking classes to further my acting abilities because I'm constantly working on independent films around here with groups like Big Jones Productions, Little Beth, Two Martinis, One Star, VMCAD, commercials with Talent Group clients, and occasionally theatre at Bang and Clatter.  I'm an ad account manager/business owner by day so things like measurable/tangible results are important to me without really knowing what classes would do in such a subjective medium as acting, but after reading that all the working actors in LA are constantly in class when not working even though many are already great (but want to keep their skills sharp), I decided to do it anyway.  

Well,  I'm quite happy to say that based on the fact that I've been able to see most of the films I worked on before I started classes,  several I made right when I started class and was learning the Meisner technique, and then those that I've recently worked on after about 10 months in class,  I do indeed have the tangible results I was looking for/wasn't sure I'd see and I (and others) can literally see myself having improved over the last year, with a definite exponential growth in ability in the past 5 months or so.  If you're an actor around here that's also always working on films (and I know quite a few of you), I'd sincerely suggest you come check out the school and literally SEE the results for yourself; I've been told they're impressive."
