The Combat Simulation: Stage Combat Fitness
A warm and friendly vibe was palpable as soon as I entered the class even though I was a first timer both the instructor and other classmates who were regulars said hello with huge smiles. They were thorough in providing full disclosure that this was the fitness warm up and training class, not the true stage fight choreography, but I already expected that because they sent me a reminder email the day before class with the class title "Combat Simulation". The email provided the address description of facilities and what to expect during class. Class was easy for me to follow because of a few months of prior experience with karate and krav maga, because many of the moves involved incorporate martial arts of kickboxing elements such as roundhouse kicks, upper cuts, jab cross. It was organized like a group fitness class with a playlist of music and each song involving a set of moves that was explained and practiced once in advance. The instructor was energetic and upbeat and occasionally walked over to individual participants to correct or improve form or suggest modifications. The class also incorporated a strength element with squats, deadlifts, bear crawls, Russian twists and other moves done in combination sets. There was also a directed stretch at the end. I felt challenged but not intimidated and at the end other participants who were regulars and professional actor said I did really great for my first time. Some of the other attendees in class were regular stage or tv actors and told me they had taken this and the true stage combat class for over a year and used it in their profession. One of them was also the instructor for the stage combat choreography class and invited me if I would be interested to ever attend her class, and took the time to inquire if I had a preferential interest in either stage or screen acting so they could tailor the class to include instruction for either - like sound effects slaps for stage or camera angles for television. I felt very welcomed and encouraged by this as a new student and would think it a good environment if a budding actor wanted to make contacts among fellow attendees. The facilities and space they provide is very suitable with changing rooms showers and a stretching area and mirrors to be able to look at your form. -
Improv Comedy for Business Professionals
Improvisation class with Dave, Walter, and everyone has been engaging. We did zip-zap-zop, three lines, switch game (switch the object), columns, fixed word count, genre, the world's worst xxx, and more. From not knowing how to start a sentence to calling back the terms we mentioned earlier and adding information to indicate who, what, and where, I stepped into the improvisation world. Every other member in the team were also doing their best. The liveliness of the class is inspiring and the concept of "yes, and" instead of denial can be life-changing. Highly recommend the class; wish to take more. -
Beginner Acting I: The Basics
It was a transformative experience for me. In the past 8 weeks, our class went from strangers to close pals. We played “zip zap zop” games, memorized each other's names, acted out skits, learned the 5 W's - what, why, where, when, and who - and performed play excerpts and monologues. I explored a different side of myself - a more verbal, aggressive, louder, more expressive side. The acting tools we learned are not only useful in acting but in real life, such as conversational tools, you know what I mean, casting, the unimportant, urgency, impulse, gun drop, and more. The class made me feel so emotionally secure that I cried while acting Prima Facie. I am thankful for every member's 100% commitment. It was an unforgettable experience. -

How to Start in Voice Acting & Voice Over - with Group Evaluation Class
A dream or at least part of it turned into reality. I may not be currently able to afford it for unfortunate but understandable reasons, but I will look no further when it comes to VO. Edge provided me with at least one day of my dream to Voice Act in a way that exceeded what I have always imagined. Pricing is fair and am still going to return to this Studio in the near future. Trust in the edge team to not only welcome you to their place of excellence but also help you find the inner voice over talent you may or may not have known. Will and have recommended this studio with fairness, honesty, and respect. -
Voice & Feldenkrais Workshop
It was a really good introductory course with a great instructor! Wanting to explore options for addressing persistent spoken-voice issues, I took a chance and signed up for the Linklater Voice & Feldenkrais Workshop. My expectations were low, but my mind was open. I am so happy I took the chance. The instructor, Tamala Bakkensen, was wonderful. She immediately connected with the class as a whole and with each student individually. Her knowledge of the Linklater/Feldenkrais methods was impressive as was her ability to bring those methods to life without overintellectualizing the process. I highly recommend this course! -

Loved her energy and notes she was very helpful and inspirational. Definitely pushed me to get going in this new field for me. -
