Brad certainly takes a unique approach to his craft and really breaks down the essence of what it is to play a character, while encouraging / facilitating his students to dive deep into their roles to bring truth and believability into our work. Brad also isn't afraid to "tell it how it is" and doesn't sugar coat things, which I greatly appreciate... it's not a pat-on-the-back course, but rather a deep dive into the intricacies of each student's abilities, strengths, and areas for improvement. At the same time, however, Brad is very approachable, kind, and creates a class environment that is very conducive to learning, and not intimidating... He lets you spread your wings (whether you are new, or are a seasoned & experienced actor). I feel much more prepared and confident going into auditions and kicking off projects following Brad's courses, and will continue to use Brad's method of acting and taking his lessons as I progress into the future. Thank you, Brad!! Highly recommend!!

An effective cold reader is active listener and attentive observer. I solely learned from 1st generation teachers; Steve Wangh ( Grotowski), Wendell Beavers ( Viewpoints) and Claire Chubbuck ( Chubbuck's technique). I ain't have any doubt about how to hit any curve balls on Camera or on Stage. Regardless of how, audition and cold-reading is another game and yes, in order to get the job, you've to go through it. It's insane if you want to be in the industry. RaeAnne wholehearted teaching style as whom is completely engaged but not only overly wrapped up in her students' lives, and also understand and acknowledge their needs. You could feel hand-on learning experience in the class that rare chance to get it in any Hollywood studios. As an actor, we just need someone that confidently awkward. If so, this is the place to be in this RC Acting studio at Valley Village to lean a successful cold-reading. Remember ! ! ! Christian Bale still driving Tacoma 2003 model and living in his dream as Hollywood mega star. Sometimes everybody's got picked something or someone up. We don't need to lost in LA LA LAND. Friends of mine even have any social medias but she's been worked side by side with Joaquin Phoenix, Tye Sheridan & etc. An actor is a thespian, so don't forget to bring yourself, your techniques and your passion from there the rest will be history.

This class has been absolutely invaluable to me. RaeAnne offers so much to her students: most…read moreclasses include a business check-in; some kind of technique teaching and discussion; then either a cold read or prepared scene from the prior week; and once a month, an on-camera class with an opportunity to shoot something for our reels. I love the business check-in, where she makes sure each student is on-track with their own personal career goals, no matter what stage we're at. I find it incredibly helpful to have some kind of homework each week to keep myself on task -- these can include both scene study as well as business steps - either things she noticed about my reel or actors access profile that could be updated, or footage I need to prioritize getting, or where to look for specific types of jobs. She is 100% not a gatekeeper of information, and truly wants and helps her students succeed. She talks openly about her own experiences and what we can all learn from them. Her class also incorporates warm-up exercises: either breathing, or quick improv/movement to get us engaged with our whole bodies. Cold read classes and prepared scene work are usually done in pairs, where we get about 20 minutes to work together before performing in front of the class. On-camera scene choices are sent out a few days ahead so we can choose and prepare one fully memorized and dressed for the part. Taking RaeAnne's class has been so informative and fun, and I am so happy I found it!

The rest was just a case of remembering the lines afterwards. The audition would not have gone as well as it did had I not gone to Loren before hand and received her expert guidance.

Everyone has a different style of acting and different needs in teachers; I know that I cannot function without praise, encouragement, and a sense of camaraderie.
