attend the campus in Los Angeles. It seems the sad,
bitter individuals in New York who know not how to
cope with not being invited back to second year revert
instead to posting anonymous comments which defame (most of) the
faculty. I am appalled at the immaturity of these comments;
attacking a woman who apparently has cancer, derogatory remarks at
someone's sexual orientation. This is all these comments provide, as
there is no in depth criticism as to why these
teachers “suck”. Granted, I have not had these teachers, however,
there is no backing evidence as to why these teachers
fell short of the poster's standards. To listen to these
resentful individuals is unwise. Additionally, you CAN get an Associates
Degree in Arts (A.A.) by taking some core classes at
an approved college, if you wish. As for the Los
Angeles campus, Mrs. Hayes is the loveliest director of instructor
one could possibly imagine. She has a “can do” attitude
and genuinely cares about the growth of everyone who attends
the school. She is very easy to talk to. Ms.
Beck and Ms. Brennan serve as the Voice and Speech
teachers; they both know what they are doing, and devote
time after school to helping students rid of their accents,
or helping you master an accent. Mr. Martin serves as
an acting teacher and is brilliant. His no nonsense approach
may be deemed as harsh to some, but for the
serious actor, it is honest. Rather than pampering you, he
tells it as it is. Mr. Hart is the Vocal
Production (singing) teacher. He excels at this position, and has
a very detailed knowledge of what he teachers. Mrs. Nichols
serves as (one of) the Movement (dance) teachers. She, too,
takes a no nonsense approach. her pace may be too
quick for some, but keep focused and you'll manage. Mr.
Knowles is another Movement teacher. To work with him is
a pleasure. He has the experience and the patience that
is needed. Mr. Reiniger works as the Camera Fundamentals/Acting for
the Camera teacher. He was in the original Dawn of
the Dead (just a fun fact) and he too is
a terrific teacher. Mrs. Hensel serves as the Styles (Classical
theater) teacher. I can not begin to describe how brilliant
of a teacher she is because anything I say will
not do her justice. She is both knowledgeable about the
industry and about what she teaches. Before her, Shakespeare was
about as foreign to me as cornettos (I'm American!) All
in all, the school is a terrific place to grow
and learn the craft. Robert Redford, Spencer Tracy Danny Devito,
Adrien Brody, Paul Rudd, Kimm Cattrall and many other can't
be wrong.
