BEGINNING ACTING
…I want to thank you for inspiring me to follow me dreams. I left Washington. I am down in California. I have started a television production company and I auditioned for a Harley Davidson Commercial yesterday as an actor. Everything is moving at light speed…and in a positive direction. It all started with you in that classroom at the U of W. – Robert C., Hollywood
DRAWING AND PAINTING CLASSES
Thanks for taking some time before the class to help me figure out which class I should take. You weren’t just trying to “sell” me a class, you helped me find the one that would be a good next step for me. – M.J. (Seattle)
OK CHORALE
I just wanted to say “thank you” for the way that you offer participation in the OK Chorale in such an informal and relaxed manner (no tryouts, no performance costumes, no long-term commitment), and to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the group this Winter quarter. It had been many years since I had sung music in this way, and even longer since I had to learn several new songs within a confined period of time, and your welcoming spirit made the process easy. – Cheryl
FILMMAKING
…I didn’t have the chance to say goodbye to the other students and to thank you. I just want to thank you for the (crash course in filmmaking) classes. I never learned so much over a short period of time and remembered it. You wasted no time on the non-essentials. I greatly appreciate the fact that you were very receptive to everyone’s questions. Your experience, dedication, and passion for film making made this a fantastic learning experience for me. I want you to know that taking this class has truly made a difference for me. I lost the fear to shoot and produce films. It has given me the knowledge and skills I was seeking and the confidence I need to step into film making. I have to tell you — you are an incredible teacher! I cannot thank you ENOUGH! I’ll definitely recommend this class to all my friends. Thanks so much for the highly engaging and inspiring class.- J. Vega
