What the Actors are saying.
"The people I've met in Vincent's class have been invaluable to the progression of my career. I've been able to meet several agents and casting directors that ultimately helped lead me to making my broadway debut."
Tommy Berklund - Actor / Broadway - Greg A Chorus Line
"Vincent's classes are an amazing opportunity to really work on what is immediately required to have a great audition. It's not always about booking the job, it's about having a great audition. In addition, cultivating relationships with casting director's such as Jessica Kelly, Justin Borgstahl (ABC) are invaluable. Vincent's room is the place to make it happen!"
J Elaine Marcos - Actress / Broadway's A Chorus Line. Features: Every Little Step, Morning Glory with Harrison Ford in a Supporting role.
"Vincent Gerrard's concern and passion for his students and the craft of performing make his class a first rate experience for anyone trying to get ahead in this business. His ability to help you let down your gaurd and show your true soul as an actor is why Vincent's class is so special. It all starts ''in the room'' and Vincent will help you make the room yours."

Kirsta Peterson - Actress / Most Recently - Feature Film CAFE - From the Producers of Napoleon Dynamite.
"Vincent's class has given me the tools to kick start my adventures in acting. As someone with a career mostly behind the scenes and as a broadcast journalist in front of the camera, I have limited practical acting experience but after taking Vincent's class I have the tools, technique and confidence to audition 'in the room' . This is the best way to get seen by the industry. Vincent's instincts and advice are priceless!"
Joe Fusco - Senior Producer 'EXTRA'
"If you are serious about improving your audition skills, then I implore you to take Mr. Gerrard's class. His energy technique prepares you to enter the room with confidence and focus so that you can get the job done!... And he's a lot of fun too!"

"I recently finished my first year of an MFA program in Pittsburgh. During that year I applied the audition techniques that I learned in Vincent's classes. The result is that I had a callback for every audition and booked 60% of those callbacks!! My last job was working at the most prestigious LORT theatre in town (The Pittsburgh Public Theater), where I created a role in a world premiere play called "Harry's Friendly Service".
Thank you, Vincent!"
Daryll Heysham - Actor / Classical / Voice-Over Artist
"Vincent has an amazing gift, he can see into you and give you the adjustment necessary to deliver not only a great audition but an excellent performance. His deep respect and understanding of each of his student's personality and skills, provides him with the ability to operate on a deeper level, having actors access emotions more freely and with more focus. His classes are invaluable for any actor at any stage of their career."
John DiDomenico - Actor / Entertainer
"It was wonderful to run into Vincent's class... it certainly was the next step for me, and it was great to be introduced to industry professionals that I hadn't had the pleasure of meeting yet. Vincent worked with each of us individually, and his work payed of in our auditions "in the room". Thanks, Vincent!"
Heidi Duncan - Actress
"I am a classically trained actor with degrees from Columbia & Stanford. I can honestly say that Vincent offers a truly unique approach to the audition process. I appreciate the dedication & enthusiasm, which with he teaches people his technique. He brings industry guests from very reputable offices. After attendance of his commercial agency session, I had follow up meetings with guests from Paradigm & Atlas, who have since sent me out on several auditions."
Charles Hendricks - Actor
"Just like athletes who work out with their trainers, Vincent gives you a "work-out" with the room. You will walk away from this class with the confidence that you can not only handle what's "in the room" but what comes before and after it. No actor should miss this opportunity!-- "
Mardi Grant - Actress / Singer
"Vincent's attention to each actor's individual needs and goals is what makes his class stand out. Vincent has helped me focus my energy to enhance my craft as well as promote my career."
Jade Rothman - 2007 Obie Award Winner (Best Ensemble Performance in The Brig at The Living Theatre) Directed by Judith Molina
"I'm 59 and I have recently returned to acting since performing in college. I met Vincent at a networking meeting. I signed up for an audition Vincent arranged with several talent agency reps. Vincent provided me with copy, and it was a great help to have him in the room with the talent agency folks during the audition. it broke the ice, and helped establish a dialogue. From that audition, i have met with Michael Guy and Maggie Saunders at Atlas Talent Agency, and I just went on an audition for a TV commercial through Paradigm's Doug Kesten. I am now freelancing with both agencies. Vincent is dedicated, and to the point. Slightly senior actors remember, there's a little less competition than those 25-year- olds have!"
E.C. (Gene) Kelly- Actor
"Vincent's class has proven to be a worthwhile investment for me. His experience and wisdom with the art of auditioning helped me earn auditions with Binder Casting and Camile Hickman at Lincoln Center."
Augustus Truhn - Actor
"From taking Vincent's class I have been called in to audition for Playwrights Horizons, Telsey Casting, Calleri Casting, Professional Artists Agency, Paradigm and Jeff Mitchell Management to name a few. The techniques I have learned certianly paid off in meeting all these industry people and by using the techniques, I was able to walk into each of these appointments with confidence and a readiness to do the work."
