"I have just completed the course "Fundamentals of Acting" with Mike Booth. I just would like to say, that I initially joined this course just to do something different, find some friends, explore a new craft. I did find all of that, but I never expected the level of quality of the contents and method of teaching that I found. I would like to say to all of you out there, if you are looking for an acting course, please, don't look any further. Mike is a tremendous teacher. He is clever, understanding, nonjudgmental, funny and able to create a comfortable environment for everyone. He was able to make me see the beauty of acting which I never even thought of. I guess, it's one of those magic [things] that happens when you are lucky enough to be taught by someone who is so passionate about what they do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge." - Annalisa Di lorio Spaces are strictly limited so register now!
