Stage Combat Intensive
The class was truly enjoyable. Jack (the instructor) deconstructed the movements in a manner that was easy and fun to learn. Jack then taught us to put it all together in a safe and fun manner. I only wish we had more time to practice the choreographed fights. I will definitely take another class from Jack as soon as I can. -

I really went into this experience not knowing what to expect. Christian Taylor made this class fun and educational. She was honest about the industry and her comments were direct and very useful.

She was friendly and professional, open to answering lots of questions, personable, and seemingly able to spot head-on, immediately, which genre(s) each of us participants might thrive in. I so appreciate her attitude, energy, and keeping the experience very educational but also fun. Thanks for making such experiences available. -Jacqueline Stephenson" -

I thought that Christian Taylor did an absolutely superb job in terms of being truthful and forthright about the voice over industry and how it requires a lot of time and money and classes and coaching in order to succeed in this business. I was very impressed that she didn't try to sell some kind of get-into-voice-overs-quick-scheme, but instead was completely honest about how one goes about entering this field. I also felt she gave excellent feedback to all the attendees and their performances. -
