<DIV><FONT size=5></FONT><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><FONT size=5><FONT size=4><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><FONT size=3>"I started taking classes to further my acting abilities because I'm constantly working on <FONT color=#366388>independent films</FONT> 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>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 <FONT color=#366388><SPAN id=lw_1280704618_2 class=yshortcuts><SPAN id=lw_1284321869_2 class=yshortcuts><SPAN style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #366388 2px dotted; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; CURSOR: hand" id=lw_1285349910_2 class=yshortcuts>Meisner technique</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></SPAN><FONT size=5><FONT size=4><FONT size=3>, 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>Mike Goulis <BR></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=5><FONT size=4><FONT size=3> 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>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>Giorgiana Lascu</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>We know how anything good concerning acting means personally to "the actor". Now for the "testy". I told myself I wouldn't make the move to NY unless I honestly felt I had something to offer. After a year with Jessica she allowed me to honestly feel I had just that, be 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. I have recently made the move to NY, and the mirror image of what you get out here Jessica gives you in <FONT color=#366388>Cleveland</FONT> for a third of the cost. I recently audited the "Ted Bardy Studio" (<FONT color=#366388>Meisner</FONT> based) here in NY and was allowed to participate in "repetition". The feed back I received from the instructor confirmed Jessica's prestige. I was told, "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." </DIV>
