Student Testimonials
You have an incredibly intuitive way of explaining things to people. It was pretty mind blowing, seeing the difference between the first take and the last take, all because of what you planted, suggested and pulled out of us. Just Goddamn impressive, is what it was.
This class is great - Sarah is so great. I'm always blown away by her. She's just so quick and smart and insightful.
I loved everything about [this class] -- acting notes, camera notes, story structure insight, character / scene functions discussion, tone balance ... I could go on! The class sparked my curiosity about everything I need to consider as an actor that I may be not be fully investigating.

Whatever - This class is designed for actors to break actor habits, run an upcoming scene, or anything else that could help their on-camera career. If you have something you want to work on, Sarah can usually accommodate.
This class provides online lecture series from Sarah for students to watch ahead of time. From character development to how casting works, what Sarah wants to see in the room to what your agents do - the lecture series is packed with information. Each week, Sarah offers a short Q&A session based on the online lecture.
