What Actors say about Aaron's class:

“To develop our skills, we all need to continue to work with a teacher who has a good eye and ear. Aaron is the person I trust, because of his wonderful insights and his clear, direct, and generous advice. Thanks Aaron! – Laurel Watt, AEA actor, commercials & films

“For my money, Aaron is the best acting teacher in Seattle. His classes are fun and nurturing, but tough. He sharpens the actor's skills, and all but obliterates bad habits. I highly recommend his class.” – Michael Black, AEA stage actor

“Whether it's a scene from Chekhov or copy for a toothpaste commercial, Aaron will give you useful, creative, and practical insight. He also helped me to find fantastic material for auditions that were critical in helping me stand out.” – Debra Pralle, AEA stage actor, films, television & voice-overs

“Aaron has an excellent eye for what's going on in a scene or monologue and his suggestions for what I have needed to work on have always been fruitful. He is also a great source of interesting audition monologues.” – David Klein, AEA stage actor, commercials & films

“Aaron has brought my acting to a new level, giving me new skills ranging from rehearsal, audition to performance. He challenges his students, always pushing for more, while maintaining a caring, safe practical space.” – Becky Rygg, working stage actor

“Aaron is an excellent coach for the actor who is looking for detailed feedback, style and nuance. His encyclopedic knowledge of theatrical literature is a blessing for any actor looking for new material.” – Sherry Narens, AEA actor, commercials & films

“If you just want ego-stroking, go to someone else, but if you are open to improving and honing your acting chops, you can't do better than Aaron. I always find his comments helpful, supportive, and insightful.” – Eric Newman, AEA stage actor

“Aaron’s class has not only given me the tools I needed to get acting jobs, such as a stronger understanding of script analysis and character development, but confidence, as well. Hooray!” – Patsy Benson, working actor in theatre and commercials
