THIS IS THE CLASS I RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE!!…read more Porter's class is the best commercial class I have ever taken. She gives great advice. Her techniques for auditions can be used for commercials and .theatrical auditions. I have gotten call makes and booked several commercials and theatrical auditions, since I have taken her class.

She even critiqued our clothes to inform us about what colors would look best on camera. It was amazing how she immediately knew when we would start speaking without being mentally prepared. Correcting this caused us to develop good audition habits and confidence. The price was very reasonable. Do it!

I was a very fortunate "insider" at Kelly's studio, having worked as an intern there for several…read moremonths. I have an M.A. in teaching English with many observations under my belt, but I have never witnessed this level of quality in teacher-student interaction and such astounding, real, observable results. "Tailoring lessons" doesn't even begin to cover it. It's as if Kelly has a sixth sense when it comes to the language needs of each of her students. She has the uncanny ability to tie communication and language to culture, life, empowerment, success, attitude...you name it; it's all connected. You know those amazing quotes we come upon that inspire us and make us want to try to live by them? Well, Kelly actually does live by them. She is a no-nonsense professional and human being who energizes all those who get to spend time with her. You'll remember that hard work with the right techniques pays off. You'll remember not to feel sorry for yourself and get a grip on your dreams and goals. I can't recommend Kelly highly enough. This review was not commissioned -- I just like her work that much!

I found Kelly's videos on Youtube under accent modification and thought she was great. I wanted to…read morelearn more from her, so I contacted her! She brings so much energy to teaching. Not a bore. Will give you more confidence when speaking.

Dont waste your money or time…read more I dont normally write reviews but I wanted to warn people that this class is lame. Jonathan is not a teacher and doesn't do a good job pretending that he is. you wont get to work much at all and will spend most of the time listening to him talk (he goes on and on without saying much, except the rare times you get to work, then feedback is non-exsistent,). He cannot control a classroom and many of my classmates were upset about the quality of the class, the fact that we rarely got to work, and that he lets people in the class who clearly just want attention ask questions and take a huge portion of the class. I could have learned more by reading on the internet, filming myself acting as a host, and watching it back. If you are serious about your career, save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else.

In 2012 I took the 'Break Into TV' classes for 5 months, I found them to be extremely helpful for…read moremy TV ambitions and also so much fun! Jonathan is a knowledgeable TV veteran and a natural teacher. From the newbies that are shy in front of the camera to the polished students that are working in the industry, he offers pointed feedback to each person as to what they can improve, with lots of positive feedback as well. These classes definitely helped me improve my on-camera performance, ad lib skills, and confidence. The other students were friendly and fun, we cheered each other on and laughed continuously through each class. Just for the entertainment value alone it was worth the time and money!

As a complete novice in guitar Cameron has really brought me along as a confident, proficient and…read moreskillful player over the last 3 years. Even when I moved out of LA for 1 of those years we kept our lessons going online. His personality and approach has made me feel so comfortable and as a shy person that has been so helpful not only musically but personally. I would highly recommend Cam to any adult or younger student looking to bring the fun into learning and being creative with music.

Meeting Cameron was a pivotal point in my music journey. I sought out lessons in general because I…read morewanted to develop proficiency on my instrument (guitar), but with Cam came so much more. We focused not only on building my skills, but also my own unique musical identity. I was encouraged to channel my own creativity, and Cam guided me through every step. And later when I wanted to start recording my own ideas and develop some production skills, he helped me choose the right gear and build the most practical setup for my needs. He even showed me how to use Pro Tools and shared a lot of production tips to help make my music sound pro. Thanks for everything Cam!

I first came across Kate when I bought her book, which I'll admit I haven't yet read…read morecover-to-cover... because it's so vast! It covers everything, just like her and Jeff's coaching. When I next came across Kate, it was because I checked out one of the Sound Advice webinars. There was so much information packed in there for the time that we had, I was stunned at the affordability -- they really do want to help the beginner. I did as many as I could. After a series of webinars, it was clear that I was ready for private coaching. Those did not disappoint. To the contrary, they were amazing. Sound Advice actually has a process you go through to ensure that each time you step up to the mic, you're confident and know what to do, how to adjust, self-direct, etc. It's really amazing to have a process that keeps you comfortable in any studio environment. The coaching sessions led to a revelation: it was time to refresh my demos. It had been four years and I'd grown a ton between then and now, so we did a new commercial demo together. Let me tell you what, I'm blown away by the quality direction--which helped pull choices out of me that I didn't realize I had--and it sounds amazing. Every one, a national spot. Here's the icing on the cake. Your demo is not a 1- or 2-hour session. It's a process over several days of 1-hour sessions. They take their time to get the absolute best out of you, plus you get to learn along the way, and I have to say their process works. To me, it was almost like I got a free coaching class with each spot we tracked for the demo. There are others who charge about the same price for a demo or coaching... but where Sound Advice has everyone else beat is that they truly care and it shows. That's their secret sauce, I think. That, and there's so much wisdom between the two of them that I'll bet they've forgotten more than most of us know about the business--and not just the acting side.

For this I was initially skeptical as to whether or not this class could offer me any guidance I had not already heard. I was extremely pleased to find that not only did the class offer me new insight regarding my technique, but the instructor was quite familiar with the previous techniques I had made part of my approach; so I was not faced with having to unlearn any facet of what I believed was already working for me. Instead, I was shown how to incorporate the concepts taught in the class to revitalize my current technique. I have seen a better response to my performances. I wish I had started the class before pilot season began.
