Having a working professional share real and practical techniques for On Camera opportunities. The class size worked very well for questions and working through the exercises. I also love the multiple options of class days and times.

Heidi brings her real-world professional experience into the classroom, passionately working with each actor to deliver a grounded, true-to-life performance. She also insists that actors leave with recordings to help promote their careers, as she genuinely cares about each actor's success. I learned a lot in a short amount of time, and I highly recommend her class.
Improvements:
Different day/time options. Monday during the day is tough for me.
