Everything taught was pretty useful and she also gives possible scenarios that I haven't even came across yet but luckily I know more because of her (THANK YOU!). From taking this course, I do hope this will increase my chances of getting booked for jobs but fingers crossed and best of luck to all you aspiring actors. I do have to add that the videos she has aren't scripted or don't seem scripted in anyway so everything she says is coming from her experience and her heart.
