Meet The Testimonials what the students and teachers are saying |
|
"David is an extremely insightful teacher who can find actors strengths and help them discover where they may need improvement. He uses a variety of techniques and exercises to help students connect to the internal emotional core, freeing them to explore the character and environment. He is very respected for his efforts and involvement with PWD's (performers with disabilities). Regardless of the physical, mental or emotional barrier, David helps student's overcome obstacles through his compassionate understanding of the human condition. Not only does he provide great teaching, he also goes above and beyond by giving his students support, opportunity and friendship." -Tobias Forrest (actor,singer,PWD) "David Zimmerman creates a safe atmosphere for his students. They are eager to learn from the experience of industry professionals. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing my experience with them and the feedbacks were very rewarding." -Dustin Nguyen (Little Fish, The Rebel, 21 Jump Street) "I have to say that David Zimmerman is a blessing to all who encounter him as an individual and as a teacher. His personality brings joy and his teachings breathe life!" -Auti Angel - (Dancer / Actress) "David's class is proof that an artist can appear in every form and the true artist emerges beyond the form in which they are presented. Those who can reveal themselves no matter how unorthodox, unconventional or different their form, make for exceptional artists." -Danny Woodburn - (Actor- WATCHMEN, SEINFELD, PASSIONS) "A terrific evening!. The time spent with these wonderful students gave back to me more than I ever imagined. Fun and rewarding." -Bruce Davison (X-Men, Longtime Companion) "Aughhhhhhhhh, what can I say? Incredible class and amazing connections...thank you, thank you for doing what you do David!!!!! Bringing souls together to express, share, connect, and manifest magic from the depths of life itself in all its colorful ways... ITS NOT ACTING OR REACTING...ITS IMPACTING IN EVERY WAY. Thank you...Big hug." -Angela Rockwood - (Actress / Model / Ambassador for the Christopher Reeve Foundation) "I want to thank you for the opportunity to teach these amazing young people. Each and every one of your students gave me a gift. And it was truly an inspiration to share my thoughts, my ideas and philosophy about acting with them. I look forward to teaching the class again." -Lainie Kazan (My Big Fat Greek Wedding, My Favorite Year, Lust In The Dust)
