WOW, what a class! Professor Stolzenberg is not only a consummate professional, but an incredible teacher. His ability to address each student’s needs and learning styles made for an in depth, enjoyable class in which everyone learned so much.

What a great class! Mark is an incredibly gifted teacher with a "sixth sense" on how to help each student achieve their best performances on camera. I learned so much in just a few hours!

Good class. Mark and Karen are both encouraging and provide great tips on how to improve your acting. I would've loved if the class were a bit more wholesome (less cursing and more encouraging, lighter scripts) though the class does push individuals to feel the character and make the part their own.

It was a really great experience! I wanted to try something new. I had never really acted before but I do have a flare for the dramatic. I always knew I had a knack for acting but seeing myself on the screen really have me the confirmation I wanted and the tips I need to be even better!

For a beginner, I think the Essentials Class is great for learning exactly what it is called - the essentials of acting. In taking it a number of times, I was given more challenging exercises over time. So, even if you want to take the class more than once, it would be definitely worth it to progress even further. Even if you aren't a total beginner, the exercises can be made more challenging for you. I highly recommend it.

Mark Stolzenberg makes this class fun for anyone, whether a newcomer or a veteran. He gives pointers throughout the class either before someone does his/her part before the camera or reacting to the part just done. All pointers and help are given to improve the actor's performance. He also opens it up to class members to give their opinions on another's performance. I recommend anyone to take these classes either as a trial or to stick with it.

Great class! Awesome atmosphere with the perfect guru. These classes are amazing. The best part is it's all on camera and you get to see and discuss with mark at the end of the class what can be done to make it better. High recommended.

An amazing, inspirational class. Great learning experience. I took the class because CBS recommends it and I really happy that I did. I am a professional film actor and I highly recommend this course. I am going to sign up for a whole year program. Mr. Stolzenberg is an amazing teacher and a genius at what he does. He has great communication skills and he really cares about all his students. The class was a bit full but he managed it well and I learned a lot from watching other students work. The one class I took was chock full of information closeup work, eyelines, projecting your voice on camera, how to be believable, auditioning tips, and using subtext. I am already auditioning better after just one class. A couple of students came in late which was a little disruptive. If you want to be a film and TV actor, you must study with this guy. He will get you working in the industry. Reviewed by a professional Screen Actors Guild Member
