Despite the negative reviews, I decided to take his free class and enroll in the program. I was excited, wanted to believe the best, and came in his class with a positive attitude. Here?s what you can expect :
Each class is nothing more than a sells pitch to get you to the next class. Yes it is true if you drop out of the program you will be charged in full. If you try this program I recommend paying as you go in CASH that way you will not be charged for classes you do not take.
At first he seems like a great guy, positive, polished, experienced, and even inspirational. He tells you how he paid his dues and will save you years off your career by telling you his secrets and giving you advice. Sounds great!
You're left thinking ""Why would anybody say anything bad about this man""? Here?s why:
After the 1rst class you don't learn anything new he simply repeats the same information, giving you sales pitches and stories about himself in between.
You will not learn Any acting fundamentals in this class!
When you are on camera it will be rushed like he is only trying to fill your 2x on camera quota.
I figured out his gimmick, he hands you a script, does not allow you to read over it, and demands you perform it on camera. He then tells you to feed the lines to the camera instead of reading the script. It is impossible to perform a script you?ve never read and you don?t know what it is about, especially while feeding lines to the camera. This is designed to make you feel Uncomfortable and Insecure, that way even if you?re a good actor you will feel bad about your performance. He has you do this quickly 3 time in a row, the first 2 times he criticizes you (or says nothing, sometimes not even paying attention to you). On the 3rd time he says you did better and then takes credit for your improvement like it was because of him, even though you only did better because you were able to read through the script a few times!
At an audition you will Never be asked to perform a script you?ve never read on the spot, he even admits that. It becomes obvious his exercises are designed for you to fail so you will feel insecure enough to take another class. Also he?ll makes you go up in groups and do stupid stuff like sing lines from a cue card in unison or have a screaming contest. It?s embarrassing, pointless, and seems he makes it up as he goes. After 4 classes I realized I?d been CONNED.
At the end of the 4 weeks he tells you that you didn?t learn anything it?s because the entire Level 1 class was just an introduction for the Level 2 class! He then tells you if you don?t take the Level 2 you?re not serious about your career, and don?t have what it takes to succeed. Also he says if you have any problem with his teachings that you?re a wicked person, and if you don?t take his level 2 class and sign up for his coaching (a total of 520.00) you are not allowed to contact him ever again! I?ve heard after he gets your money he will ignore your phone calls and emails. He even admits to taking a minimal of 10 days to respond to anybody, and to ignore emails if all questions are not bullet proofed! Also if you decide not to take level 2 he says you?re not allowed to put the classes on your resume. The more class went along the less I liked him. I had 520.00 set aside and intended on completing his program but he is not only a really bad person, he is a con artist too. He might be nice to you before you sign up, but he will show his true colors quickly, because he is extremely arrogant. I wish I would?ve goggled the top commercial schools in Los Angeles first, you?ll see a night in day difference in the reviews of the more reputable training, and they?re around the price as his program. I?m not going to put any of my personal information on here, but you have any questions email me. ? Hope this helps!
