What the Industry is saying.
"It's always a pleasure to meet actors in Vincent's classes! I appreciate his honest and forthright approach to the craft, as well as the way he imparts that to his students. The years of wisdom he's accrued in the industry definitely show in the feedback he gives his actors. I've met some really special new talent in his studios that I'm happy to now have on my radar."

"All the students in their monologues impressed me with the spirit and energy they presented. Vincent Gerrard's leadership and guidance for these actors is giving them a leg up in the competition."
Leslie Bennett - Sr. Administrator - Warner Bros. Pictures
"I love going to Vincent's classes, I have brought in numerous students for different projects and directors are always impressed. His technique in conjunction with his humor and warmth, translates to the students and to their auditions."
Allison Estrin - Casting Associate - Barden / Schnee Casting
"I was extremely impressed with the caliber of talent, choice of materials, and the positive professionalism I found as a guest in Vincent’s studio. The evening was an inspired blend of business and entertainment. The next day I called a bunch of the actors with appointments for a Heineken spot and most got callbacks! I expect a number of these performers will do very well commercially, and consequently look forward to another visit to Vincent’s studio."
Douglas Kesten / Paradigm - Agent / Commercial Division
"Vincent's combined insights from his experience as an actor and a manager is invaluable to actors. It's the most fun I had in a classroom situation."
Paul Davis - Casting Director - James Calleri Casting
"Vincent Gerrard's class is by far one of the best I have attended since moving to New York. He is calm, funny, guiding, experienced, and smart. His students are extremely talented, willing and able to greatly improve their skills. It's the only audition class I'll be recommending for a long time!"

"Vincent's class is filled of all different kinds of people. Working people who happen to work in show business. The desperate actor vibe was either very well disguised or non-existent. I was sitting in a room with a bunch of real and good people, who happen to do great work and that makes me want to write. I actually wrote a little something for one of the women in the class. Just because... I didn't expect that... Nice Surprise!"

"I was incredibly impressed with the energy and talent in the room. Including the choices of monologues, to the skill in delivering them. Vincent has clearly created a place for actors to grow and become the actors they need and choose to be."
