What students are saying about this class
“…Before Sarah’s class I had absolutely no idea what I was doing when it came to VO auditions. She is not only talented but a great teacher for anyone looking to begin their journey in the VO world. She is very inspiring, extremely supportive and equips you with the necessary tools to feel confident as you move forward. Her class environment is very comfortable and a lot of fun to be in, and she provides great direction to bring the best out in you. Also, she is full of useful industry knowledge and is happy to share the tricks of the trade with her students. I’d recommend this class to anyone interested in VO and also for actors who are looking for another avenue to play in within the industry.” –

What students are saying about this class
“Beverley brings an infectious energy that can be felt even through a Zoom meeting. Coming into the class with zero acting experience, Beverley made me feel welcome from the second I joined the virtual class. This wasn’t a regular zoom meeting though. This. Was. Acting. Class. I had so much fun yelling and laughing at my computer, learning so much about script reading and character development with our amazing class. Experienced actor or not, I would highly recommend, if you like having a good time.”
