WHAT ACTORS SAY
This is not just an acting course; it's something more profound. It's an atmosphere where you can freely exchange your wildest goals and crazy ideas and still be understood instead of judged. It inspires and makes you believe in yourself and your dreams again. The people in my class, from different corners of the world, were not only incredibly talented but also radiated amazing energy.
