Dear Mike and staff:
"I always thought that taking a great acting class meant driving during rush hour traffic to LA. I have been doing this for quite some time now and debated on moving. One day I got in the mail a notice about an acting school in the SCV - Santa Clarita School of Performing Arts (SCSOPA). I thought to myself, '10 minute drive versus 45 minutes? I have to check this out!' So I took the initiative and drove over and talked to Mr. Mike. Oh boy, does he have a personality! When I met him he was great and told me I could audit a few of the adult classes. He went ahead and gave me a list of all the classes that were going on for the month. His program is amazing. I picked what classes I wanted to do most and audited them. I absolutely love all the different methods the instructors were teaching. Matt Easton and Mike Donoghue are two of the many talented instructors I continue to take because they always challenge me as an actor. They start each class with something new as a warm-up. One day I came to class and Mr. Mike said 'Ok, here is your commercial. You have 15 minutes, then I will call you in one by one for an audition and give you feedback after.' Talk about an actor's dream! I am so much more confident when I go out for an audition because of the program at SCSOPA. I have booked a Lifetime show called 'My Life is a Lifetime Movie' and a horror feature film called 'Dead Sea,' and many other projects. I highly recommend taking classes at SCSOPA!
It's great for all ages and the classes change every eight weeks, so you aren't doing the same thing. If you're serious about acting come to SCSOPA!," ~ Dillon Paigen, 21 Santa Clarita School of Performing Arts 222-7910
