I don't even know where to begin expressing my gratitude for all that has happened to me at The Acting Corps.
I nervously enrolled in BCI back in May of this year not knowing where it would take me. I thought ""Oh, I'll just take the first boot camp and move on to another school from there"". I didn't know what i was in for AT ALL. It's not a place you can just discard and say ""Oh that place is alright"", because it's not ""alright"" it's ""AWESOME"". It's like Pringles potato chips ""once you POP the fun don't stop"".
The teaching staff is comprised of working, talented, actors that happen to be kick-ass teachers too. I don't even know what to say about them. Words can't describe how inspiring they have been to me. They all gave me some unique insight to acting that I will always treasure. They all have their very specific ways of teaching that are easy to grasp as a student. All so different yet all so powerful. I could tell that they really love to teach, love their students, and love the craft. Which in turn made me love them!
I had the opportunity to be in the Fall Showcase as well as the Works in Progress, which were chances to perform in front of live audiences. I can now perform without letting the nerves kill me. The great thing though, is that at The Acting Corps you get a chance to perform everyday in front of your classmates, in front of cameras and really get to see and feel your progress on a weekly basis. I always left my classes with a clear understanding of what i was doing, what worked in my performances and what i could change.
Eugene, thank you so much for finding instructors that are talented, smart, and really care. Thank you for having the team of beautiful ladies in the office. (You must have casting calls, right?) They're always willing to answer a question with a smile.
I came to this school with very little acting training but through the acting corps i've found my voice and confidence to move on in this career. It's a great place to go if you've left other schools due to confusion or lack of clarity. It's a great base to begin at and i highly recommend it. You won't regret it.
