Good school to grow as an actor. The teachers are knowledgeable and personal, and the staff is as friendly as you can hope. They care about your transition in there as a student. They have a great theater to practice and several interesting classes. What I missed was more acting in front of the camera.
I took English through performing arts and Voice and Speech to get better with the language. The first one wasn't very helpful, and I think it´s because it was pretty much like a normal English class that you can have in some languages academy, but just once a week. Same dynamic but more times during the week would be more appropriate. Despite of that, the teacher was encouraging, personal, and enthusiastic. We learned things that we could use in other classes.
And about Voice and Speech, I was lucky I took that class for two different quarters. If you take it seriously and you do everything the great teacher says that you need to improve your English, it´ll be really helpful.
All teachers are really professional and they know what each student needs to improve their skills. Everyone here is so nice, Good location too. A lot to learn. Love it.
