| 2009-11-13 | Ingrid | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks heaps Doc! It's comforting to have what I've experienced backed up by an expert. I've been doing some improvisation to make my audition pieces more spontaneous; it's worked wonders! It's really great of you to give advice to people you haven't met. I'd love to read your book - will send you an email shortly :) Warmest wishes, Ingrid |
| 2009-10-28 | Laurie-Jo Straty | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dear Doc: Thank you for your thoughtful responses to my lengthy questions. I have forwarded your insights directly to my daughter. I assume she will follow-up with you, if needed. This is an amazing service that I stumbled onto while poking around on MFA Acting info on the internet. It took a while to slog through the repetitive questions, however, I truly appreciate the rapid resopnse from you and one other (who shares your opinion). I am grateful for your knowledgeability and timeliness. |

I will sit down with him and explain it all to him and also let him read your message. I will also sit down soon and write you and tell you all about my son. He truly think he has a lot of potential! God bless you too! Janet |
