Scott has helped my son gain confidence in his craft. I like that he provides thoughtful exercises in advance of the sessions because it gives my Freshman Thespian time to prepare. My son looks forward to the sessions and appreciates the tips/techniques provided. I would definitely recommend Scott.

Scotty is very friendly and open and his techniques are helpful and easy to follow. He's not oppressive and his lectures feel like talking to a friend casually.
