Wordsmith Writing Coaches Nic Nelson and Laura Fox really made my writing shine. Their grasp of…read moreplot, character, tone and language was first rate, and they were able to provide detailed feedback at all of those levels. Laura Fox, in particular, understood how to bring out the best in my writing, helping to bring my characters, scenes, and dialogue to life in a way I hadn't envisioned before. Both she and Nic went above and beyond in their effort to give me the best possible service and moral support in the writing process, even meeting with me for a video chat to discuss their ideas in greater detail. I would highly recommend their services to anyone interested in breathing new life into their writing, and I would put a special shout out to Laura for her skill and going that extra mile. Many thanks, guys!

I liked it but we were just doing scenes, so I felt I was missing something, because I had never taken classes before. A friend recommended me Christian Rodrigo's studio and I loved it! Because besides doing scenes, we work a lot on exercises to be able to get to our emotions and feelings, so that we are prepared when the scene comes. It also helps you to be less shy. Christian makes you feel super comfortable whatever you do, and my classmates are also amazing. Highly recommended :)

I've studied with some amazing teachers and I have to say that Christian's class is by far the best…read moreclass I've ever taken. Christian gives you the tools to truly let go, connect and be present moment to moment. He sets the bar high and knows how to correct you with kindness. I've never felt more confident and open to give and receive on and off the stage. Do yourself a favor and sign up for his class. It is by far one of the best choices I've made since I moved to LA!

Taking classes with Danimation has been amazing for my daughter. Dani starts with the basics of…read moreanimation, but also quickly gets the students using the latest animation software that the pros use. This helps the students see right away what's possible and it's motivating for them to be able to start making their animation come to life within just a few classes. Dani is patient and kind and her classes have a high teacher-to- student ratio so students that need one-on-one help can get it. Dani has become a mentor to my daughter which has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for her. The classes and camps are also very affordable when compared to the other options out there which are actually very few and far between. Dani's overall mission to develop the skills and talents of people on the autism spectrum so that they can become employable in the animation industry is pretty incredible.

Someone recommended Camille to me a while ago and I kept putting it off. Once I finally stopped…read moreplaying around and signed up, my acting career improved in so many ways! I first did the Career Consulting, where Camille takes the time to go through each of your marketing materials. She then tells you what she believes is marketable and what you should get rid of. Then she provided me with personalized methods to secure representation. Not only that, but Camille truly cares. Plenty of times I've slacked off and Camille would text me to check on my status and encourage me to keep going. Within a few months of working with Camille, I became SAG-Eligible and secured management. It doesn't only stop at career coaching, her classes are intense but will have you ready to audition for anything. She will even have you working on areas you're not comfortable in, just so you can improve that muscle. Camille was definitely my confidence booster, I look forward to continue growing with her!

This being my first acting class, I'm realizing how difficult and challenging acting truly is. Threshold Acting Studio is a safe place to learn and grow as an Actor. Christian provides the tools, experience, and a whole lot of passion for the craft. It makes me feel like I stumbled upon a goldmine of talent. How Lucky am I.

I am unsure of how to describe my experience so far; I have been studying with Christian for six…read moremonths. What I can tell you is that before I started Threshold, I had already quit acting in my heart. I was not looking for a class and I met Christian randomly. After a very brief conversation there were two words that stuck with me and simmered in my heart: imagination and intuition. These two ideas I have never tried in my work and the scary fact that I forgot how to do it! Christian also stresses to trust the language. This was also a foreign idea to me. Since I've been working out here, I have learned what it really means to use these tools. I am eager when I get new material where in the past I would feel a sense of obligation to give a result, and feared it. I now enjoy spontaneous and unexpected moments where in the past I would be disappointed in myself for "messing up". The process has been redefined for me and it is always active. This is the part I have enjoyed the most. Christian pushes each one of us in unique ways and right when you think you're done, he will push you again. Christian is clearly doing something different that I have ever experienced. When I can one day describe it in words I will write a new review but for now all I can say is that I truly feel I am learning from a master.

What can I say about Nicole Criona that hasn't already been said by her many clients? She's a gem…read more She's super knowledgeable, motivating, detailed in her suggestions (and broader too when you need that)... and best of all, a deeply compassionate human being. Whatever parts of your story you think are not working, she helps you sort out and get to the bottom of. She's helped me to develop my main character's voice, pretty tricky to do given that it's a white older male (very different from me), and shepherded me from writing my first five chapters over and over again to my latest chapter, thirty-four. I'm almost done with my first draft, and I'm looking forward to my second. I've told her many times: I couldn't have made it so far without her. She gets it. All of it. The prose, the mental trap doors, how to build suspense and empathy within the readers, the whole process, from the first word on the page to getting it out there. If you're thinking about writing a book, by all means, enlist her help from the get-go. My only regret in working with Nicole is that I didn't find her SOONER. It would've cut months out of my process! I've only done private sessions with her, no classes, so I can't speak about those, but holy-moly, is she an expert as a one-on-one coach. She's my creative fairy godmother!!! Thank you, Nicole!

SHORT VERSION: Reach out to Nicole if you're ready to finally write that novel you've always…read moredreamed of. You will have your life changed for the better by the kindest, most passionate and genuine person you'll ever meet. LONG VERSION: I have been working with Nicole for a few years now and I can say with 10000% confidence that I would not have been able to write my novel without her. I initially signed up for her one-on-one coaching because I needed accountability to actually get writing done, but through our work together I've gained SO much more. Her feedback is invaluable. Not only have I learned so much about the craft of writing from her (the quality of my writing has improved tenfold, no lie), but she has this amazing gift of tapping into my brain and helping me realize that I already know all the answers to the questions I have about my novel. She's given me a confidence in my writing that I never knew I could have. My favorite thing about Nicole, though, is her ability to encourage me. She knows when I need a gentle push, and when I need a bit of fire lit under my ass. But even when she lights a fire, she manages to do it in such a loving way! I know that she genuinely cares about me and my novel, and I never doubt that she's rooting for me. I'm also a member of the First Draft Incubator workshop which is just as wonderful as private coaching. Each meeting leaves me in such a great mood. Whether we go over craft topics or just spend the meeting with everyone updating each other on our progress and discussing writing, I get so much from each session. Writing is such a solitary act and it's so nice to feel connected to other writers. I wouldn't be the writer I am today if it wasn't for Nicole, and I am forever grateful to her. I look forward to working with her on my second (and third, and fourth, and fifth) novel!
