[Regarding his January 28, 2006 Class]

"Bob Luke's class was an awesome experience for my son and the best technical acting training for working in front of a camera that he's had. Best of all, it was right here in Charleston where finding professional training for young actors is challenging. Mr. Luke engaged and challenged the kids with a combination of wit and tremendous knowledge. My son picked up great tips he'll use on his next audition and in upcoming independent films."

-Sue Davis

"When I'm working in front of the camera for my hosting job, I am relaxed and happy and my work comes naturally. Most of the time, I get work from just being seen on television. Other times, in the past, when I was called upton to audition for projects, I would get really stressed out. I'd think the copy was stupid and I felt unnatural saying the words so I would end up blowing my auditions. Bob has given me the tools to work on to make my audition experience more real and I know I will be more confident in my upcoming auditions. I can't wait until his next class!
