2 weeks after I took your course, I auditioned for a network and nailed it. After your critiques and lessons, it really gave me a fresh perspective and I gained major confidence when I went in there and was 100 percent me!!! Your  sessions really helped me with that, and I wanted to thank you!!!!  Thanks so much!!!! So here I am on national tv!! Woo hoo! - Jackie

I wanted to share some exciting news with you and say thank you. This week I started a new job as a Weekend Anchor / Weekday Reporter...a large part of me being prepared for this opportunity is many thanks to you. Going into the interview (which was originally said to be a “quick tour“ of the station), I found myself reflecting back on many of the things I learned from you - from comfort, to posture, and all around preparation. What a difference your insight and expertise makes. - Blake
