Loved:
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.

Industry professionals giving an honest information about obtaining and having a talent agent. They were very approachable. I liked the Q&A aspect of it.

I loved that you let parents learn with their kids. That you shared the videos. My daughter loved the class. She said it was fun and it got her more comfortable filming with other people in the room. Which is a huge plus in a world of Zoom Self-Tapes. My husband and I are both actors so we don't always pay for coaching because we just can't always swing it. My daughter loves doing film, so thank you for providing this space for her to learn with and meet professionals.
