“Recently, I hired Michael’s for my studio Actors Creative Workshop. I have received nothing but glowing reviews from my actors! Thank you, Michael! Michael is ardently dedicated to making sure that every person in every seminar gets the most information possible. He humbly asks for input and works tirelessly to improve every time out. Michael has made himself completely available to everyone in class – outside of class. He is generous with his time and knowledge and is always going “above and beyond” in the name of teaching. His knowledge of the business of New Media is really vast and overwhelming. Yet, he was also really willing to work with me to tailor his speech to the audience that we have here at ACW. Great teacher, colleague and a wonderful guy! I highly recommend him!
