Success Stories

After taking many of Steve's classes, I have settled into a regular pattern of Practical Acting classes. This is the only way to stay sharp, keep my memory working, and learn new things as the industry changes. I enjoy watching and performing scenes, monologues, and dialogues. Even performance art like stage and poetry is fair game for class, although the focus is primarily on acting for movies. Steve keeps us thinking, being creative, and honest in our work. These classes include coaching by Steve when you have auditions, which often gives me a whole new perspective on audition sides. I could stop taking acting classes, but I would get stale. Even if I had a busy schedule of work, I would continue taking classes, because not only is it helpful, but talent agents prefer their clients to be actively learning. Check. And check.

Several members of my family have taken Players Craft classes and they cannot be beat. My children who have taken classes (3 out of my 4) have improved in their abilities, not only in acting, but also in real-world abilities--public speaking, interviewing, confidence, etc. Other members of classes (I also take classes) are very encouraging of classmates and Steve doesn't just present exercises and/or direct the students, but also provides truthful, relevant information on how to navigate the industry whether you are the actor or you are helping guide your child. Steve offers a free, online class once a month so you can "dip your toes" into his methods, and the cost of his full classes CANNOT be beaten!

At first I was skeptical but went with a friend anyway to Steve Burhoe's free "Fig Newton" acting class. It was SO informative and fun and didn't feel like a sales pitch at all....after that I was hooked! I took his 8 week Practical Acting class and am about to start the next one in the series. Have learned SO many great things about the film industry as well as techniques that other coaches may not know/share as freely; and because of his class I have already been able to start putting it into practice. I've been in a commercial, done some background acting, and even entered a self-taped audition into the 2017 NM Actors Schowcase! The price for the value is a real bargain, especially when compared to what little you get for double the price at other schools...I HIGHLY recommend his classes and can't wait to take more! Thanks Steve.
