I'm a professional dancer with interest in acting, so I submitted to a
casting
director for an audition, and he referred me to ACT. After
auditing an ACT exercise session, I decided to give acting a shot. The
first six weeks seemed to be based
on actors etiquette in which I was able
to apply what I learned in class to my
dance and to my everyday living.
The second six weeks was more intense and all "on camera". With dancing I
am used to performing for a live audience, whereas with acting in
Hollywood the lens is my audience. Tim accepted my dance background and
made me feel comfortable in a class of hungry actors. He was very
encouraging, yet stern and motivating. He's made me realize that with a
lot of hard work, I can be successful. It was very frustrating and
intimidating, but Tim never gave up on me.

I am proud to have graduated from such a
refreshing program and now, thanks to Tim and the Actors Boot Camp, I have
a new outlook on "technical" acting and the entire entertainment industry.
