1. What people are saying about my teaching!

Now I consider myself a very good actor and other struggling actors even look up to me.
Rick played a significant part in my acting development. John Ranlett
Rick coached all my best actors! He was and still is the most respected Acting

business! Kim Stone (Talent Agent)
I have worked with Rick for more than a decade and I have come to know and respect
him beyond measure. Any individual looking for private coaching is lucky to gain his
tutelage and instruction. I truly cannot sing his praises highly enough. Rick will surpass
any and all expectations you may have. Benjamin Morgan (Writer/Director)
Words can’t express what he taught me- to be proud of my individuality and express
myself in a way that could only enhance my future endeavors. Thoughtful, considerate,
disciplined, creative, modest, humble…are only a few words to describe what this man
taught me
Spectacular instructor- his viewpoints and experience are what I hope to achieve as I
delve further into my acting career. Al Semple
"Rick's Class was the most important one I've ever taken. He made me work hard in the
first class and I didn't get it. Then in the second class the light bulb went on and I knew
this was the most significant experience of my acting career. I was on my way to
learning the proper auditioning techniques to compete and land the roles I wanted."

I just wanted to take the time to email and thank you for being such a great teacher. I
really did have a good time in your Cold Reading class. I loved your honesty, and felt
that I learned a hell of a lot in such a short time. Jessi W.
I'm just writing to thank you for teaching us all the ropes of cold reading and auditions-- it
definitely helped me gain more confidence in front of the camera which will undoubtedly
be valuable as I pursue acting. Sarah S.
You are one of my favorite teachers. You taught me the most valuable information that I
could possibly learn. I understand that scene study, monologues, and other such
classes are important. However, I would not be able to do any of that in the industry if I
was not hired first! And your class taught me all the secrets so that I have a better
chance of getting a job. So once again, thank you so much for the amazing class. Gabby
O.
I will remember you and your class forever! Katie
