An Introduction to Voiceovers
Course was great. Course horse was awful. I star for course horse. 4 for class. All it said was Santa Monica College. The email the day before did not even say that! No where did it say: IT IS AT THE BUNDY CAMPUS!!! A totally different campus. How about saying the address and room number on your REMINDER email? How about making a big deal it is not at the main campus? No one to call. No phone number for COURSE HORSE. NO ONE ANSWERING THE PHONE. No one at the campus answering the phone. What a nightmare from hell. -
