"I just booked my first commercial and could not be more excited. This journey has been one of discovery for me and I have enjoyed every second of it. A big thank you to Paul Hungerford, Suzanne Schmidt, Ashley Crow, Tom Burke, Judy Kain, and Jessica Lynn Verdi. Each and everyone of you contributed to my first booking and for that I want to express my sincere appreciation. I would be remiss if I did not thank my fellow classmates encountered along the way for I have learned from every one of you as well. Although this is just the first step towards bigger goals, it takes me one step closer than last week. - Steve Oakey

"Thanks so much for those kind words and encouragement. I REALLY enjoyed my time with Ashley as well as Stacey. I found them both to be simply, hands-down fan-tas-tic teachers, with great, concrete, workable directions, and a terrific spirit . It was exactly what I was needing and to say the least, a very happy surprise. After almost 20 years as a professional actor (mostly TV), I've just recently returned to LA after a 10 year absence during which time I was NOT acting on camera at all, so the workout was the perfect thing for me to see just how thick and crusty the dust had attached to the "chops". LOL. Apparently, it's pretty crusty on there but the good news is, there might be some hope for me yet. I feel very lucky to have found Keep It Real." -Greg L.

 

"Ashley’s passion for guiding creative and truthful expression and her remarkable repertoire of craft have given our daughter gifts we can never repay; a rare master instructor whose students are instantly recognizable for exuding self-confidence and integrity, on and off the stage."  - Jennifer Dohr, Parent and Teacher
