Ron's classes were fun, highly informative and really prepared me for the reality of starting a career in commercial acting. I think of many of his "tips" as I go out on auditions. His six week course is packed with invaluable information about everything from practical tips on what to pack in your "bag" for an audition, to how to get an agent and how the union works. His small class size also insures plenty of on-camera time and individual concern for his students...which, I might add, extends to continued advice and help for his alumni whenever requested. I high recommend his classes.

After taking several classes at the Orange County Commercial Acting Workshop, my booking ratio increased by 60%. The classes were presented in a very professional and motivating manner. There was none of this brow beating that you find in some classes, but were very relaxing and enjoyable to attend. I really looked forward to going to class. If anyone is truly looking to advance their careers all they have to do is to take a class at OCCAW and follow the techniques presented and you will be well on your way. I would not hesitate to recommend the Orange County Commercial Acting Workshop to anyone...

Not only did I have a great time during the basic and advanced classes, I learned so much about acting, industry "secrets" and practical tips regarding auditions and getting an agent. Using the skills and information I gained from Ron's teaching, within a month I had a SAG agent (as well as offers from two others) and was booking jobs. I highly recommend OCCAW to anybody who is serious about a career in acting.

It was many years ago since I had performed in front of an audience. On my own again, I began thinking about how I might make a few extra dollars so I decided, now in my 70's, to start a new and exciting career. I signed up with Ron's workshop group. (Didn't know I was so smart!) Ron made everything fun. His classes were like spending an evening with friends. He explained all phases of acting and performing in front of the camera. He had valuable material as to how to compose resumes, where to locate good photographers, where to go for good agents or casting companies. He showed us ways to use our imagination, our body language, facial expressions and voices. I was amazed at how easy everyone (myself included) took to his instructions. "Yes", it was fun! He made it "do"able. He made it easy to use all our potential. He offered suggestions, he praised, he critiqued. He always helped, he never made anyone feel out of place or ridiculous. I really looked forward to our evenings at class. He prepared me to face all the auditions, even the rejection that goes with the work. He left us well prepared. It was now up to each of us to live up to our dreams--Ron gave us the blueprint to follow.
