I like that Bill always challenges you to explore those areas of acting that sometimes go unrefined. He makes it easy to let go of little hangups that can constrict your instrument.
Bill tells it how it is. There isn’t time or need to sugar coat things and pleasantries are nice but getting to work is nicer. We are constantly challenged to think in class, not be blindly directed. I appreciate his specific approach to each actor; he has developed a relationship with each of us so we each get a personalized analysis suited to our own process.
I learned that I hold on to a lot of insecurities in my acting, I didn’t know that before and I didn’t know that it translated to the audience. I’m happy I’m able to address it before getting in front of casting directors.
There are nights where I feel like I’m hitting a wall but within those hours, I can break it down. Every class I feel like I level up.
I like that class is structured around each individual, as well as the scene as whole. I learn so much from watching my peers as well, seeing where they may succeed or hold back helps me to take a more objective look at my own acting.
I was seeking a class with honest and straightforward feedback and Bill has the perfect amount of honesty and heart that makes me really think and fight for my character’s truth. A thumbs up should be earned, not given away to anyone who tries.
Within the 30 minute audit I knew this class would be a game changer.
