<BR>Just an FYI on this...before anyone responds with "well he sucks as an actor" or that it seems arrogant in that the premise by virtue of being named in the title would be a de facto statement that one should be impressed by my making this statement, I did not think I would be in the title of this, I just offered to write a testimonial as other student have. <BR>
<BR>
Just wanted to clear that up. <BR>
<BR>
Thanks, <BR>

<TD vAlign=top>"I started taking classes to further my acting abilities because I'm constantly working on <SPAN style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; CURSOR: hand" id=EC_lw_1252598827_8 class=EC_yshortcuts>independent films</SPAN> 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. <BR><BR>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 <SPAN style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed; CURSOR: hand" id=EC_lw_1252598827_9 class=EC_yshortcuts>Meisner technique</SPAN>, 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." <BR><BR>Mike Goulis <BR></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></body>
