had something to offer. After a year with Jessica she allowed me to
honestly feel I had just that, helping reveal my "honesty" and
"truth". What Jessica is offering to "the actor" in Cleveland, is
simply gold, but doesn't cost near as much. A blessing, it might
actually help save you, in so many ways; it did for me.<font style="font-weight: bold;" size="3"> I have recently
made the move to NY</font>, and the mirror image of what you get out here
Jessica gives you in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1269622371_0">Cleveland</span> for a third of the cost. I recently audited the<font size="3"> <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">"</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ted Bardy Studio" (</span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1269622371_1">Meisner</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">
based) here in NY and was allowed to participate in "repetition". The
feed back I received from the instructor confirmed Jessica's prestige.</span><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">
I was told, <font size="4">"you are right on, yup, yup, you are the best student I
have ever seen here coming from another school, you had a 'great'
teacher".</font></span></font><br><font size="4"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Channing Jackson</span></font><br><br><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I came into Jessica's class a complete
mess, more then usual, my 17 year old life was in shambles. I had
recently lost all my academic confidence as well as all my confidence
on stage. I walked into class on a rainy August day wearing a pair
of purple sweat pants, foolishly expecting to learn everything in those 2
free hours. As the class began Jessica asked if anyone had auditions
or announcements as she often does; most the class raised their
hands. Suddenly, my ears perked up and I thought 'Hey there's
something here'. <br></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">After nine months of class, I'm still
in wonder at all that I've learned. Before I became a pupil at the
Houde School of Acting I can honestly say I didn't know what good
acting looked like-- honestly I wasn't even looking to find out.
I've learned so much from Jessica and my fellow Houde scholars, not
only about acting, but about myself. The privilege of attending the
Houde School has made me, not only, considerably less of a mess, but
acutely aware of the thing you need to know to succeed in any area of
your life: yourself. <br></p>

<br>The Houde School of Acting has become a second home for me.
Jessica has done so much for me I can not thank her enough. Not only
has her teaching given me the tools I need to become a great actress,
but also to become a success in any field I pursue. This class has
helped me find myself. I have gained so much confidence, and,
friends. I have learned to take risks and make strong choices, not
only in my acting, but my life. Anyone thinking of joining this class,
be warned it is life changing! In summary, I love this class, the
people in it, and, most importantly my awesome acting coach, Jessica. <br>

gained a few really good friends and industry contacts, enhanced my
public speaking ability, am able to express myself much better and am
represented by a well-known local agency through which I have obtained
rewarding acting jobs; not bad for a very affordable and convenient
acting school run by a highly competent and connected acting
teacher". <br><font size="3"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Paul</span></font><br><br>Meisner training has really helped me to discover more about me and
what makes me tick (or tock).. I have gotten more in touch with how to
get to a real & true emotion without faking it or pushing for a
scene. Discovering yourself and how to really be yourself under
imaginary circumstances seems like an easy thing to do but it takes a
while to really understand how to reach an emotional level that might
be needed. The Houde School has helped me to reach inside of myself
and discover how I can make a character more interesting and real.<br><font size="3">

of "living truthfully under imaginary circumstances." Students go
through a series of improv exercises that are designed to teach them
how to work off their partner, stay in the moment and out of their
head. Along with Meisner's improv exercises, students work on
monologues, audition technique and emotional preparation to expand
their craft. This class is opened to beginner to advanced student as
we find combining all actors in one class offers confidence,
inspiration and a good way for students to share their take on the
Meisner technique and the Cleveland acting scene.</font></span></font></font></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><font size="5"><font size="4"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></span></font></font></span><span style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"></span><span style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;"><font style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;" size="5"><font size="4"><font size="3"><span style="font-style: italic;"><font size="2"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br><font size="3"><br style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Houde School of Acting offers your first class FREE. </span> <br>To register please contact:<br><br></font></span></font></span></font></font></font></span></span></span></font></font></font></font></span></span><font
