"My first speaking role in a feature film called for improv. While performing the role, David was talking in my head the whole time. For an actor, having improv skills is like having a Ronco Pocket fisherman in your back pocket. It's right there whenever you need. No more fishing around for the right thing to say. " Paul Bass , 40

"Every week we do something different. The students get a chance to get up on stage a lot of times during the class and the price is very very good. If anyone is looking for an improv class this is the one." Jeff Nystrom , 42 |
"As an improv teacher myself, I found it very refreshing to participate in one of David's classes on my last visit to Los Angeles. David creates a fun and friendly atmosphere in which the students can just relax and express themselves. He pays close attention to each student and gives constructive feedback. What I appreciated most about David is that he is a genuinely nice guy who cares about his students and knows what he is doing."

"David's class is truly inspiring, rewarding and fun. The skills and techniques taught in class are not only valuable to the actor pursuing acting as a career, but also to those who wish to stretch out and overcome personal fears--like stagefright or public speaking. David's warm and professional manner makes for a class that is an open & fun learning experience. Laughter is abundant! If you have any desire at all to break out of your shell, take this class!" Gage Christine Bock, 30 |
"I had studied improv in the past and wanted to get back into it. I'm really glad I found David's class. I studied with him for a few months and it really helped me become a better improviser. At this time I would like to say " Thank You, David." He is very good at looking at you individually and helping you with what you need to work on. If you have never done improv and want to--take this class, It is a GREAT place to start--If you have done Improv and want to do more, take this class!" Matthew Otsuka , 44

"I came to David's class without any prior improv experience and I found David to be highly motivating and encouraging. In his class I made big jumps from one class to the next and David encouraged me to face my fears. David has a lot to offer students in terms of resources and advice. I would highly recommend the class to new and experienced actors. Lucia Angela Perez, 31 |
