Del Mar Media Arts is a FANTASTIC school to improve and hone your acting skills. Their voice over and improvisational acting programs are top notch, I've received far better training from Bud, Bunny and Pamela, than I did from the university I earned my degree from. Their VO 1 and Commercial classes are a great jumping off point if you're looking to improve your public speaking skills or test the waters to see if its really for you, and from there they'll discuss with you where you see yourself going and where they see your progress. They truly care about their students and want to see them grow.
As with any workshop, don't expect to become a working actor overnight! They will do their part to guide you, it's your job to use the skills they teach you and put in the work to become a better performer. The previous reviewers sound like they expected the work to be done for them... You wouldn't take lessons to learn a musical instrument and only practice in class expecting to become a musician, you'd practice at home as well. In voice over, your voice is your instrument, therefore you must practice that as well. I've been studying there for well over a year now, and not only have seen mine and my classmates greatly improve, I've had past actors I've worked with see performances and tell me themselves what improvement they've seen. Put in the time and the effort, and learn from what Bud and Bunny teach you, and you will improve. Definitely the school for the serious performer.
