I wanted to send you a quick thank you for all your guidance in the monologue class. It was a practice I looked forward to every week and a learning experience I won't soon forget. You are great at giving notes and I really value the insight you provided to better all of our performances. You have a great ability to be honest but kind which makes the very vulnerable process of acting a much more constructive and helpful experience.
