  • Paint Anything

    It was a fun class. Teacher was fun and knowledgeable.
  • An Introduction to Voiceovers

    Reviewed by Caron C. on 10/14/2023
    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.
  • Introduction to Screenwriting

    Mr. Thomas G. Provided thorough presentations for the lessons. He sent out assignments with videos that pertained to what we were learning, the visuals gave clarity to what is expected of us. He cared about us grasping the information. That stood out the most. ✨

  • Landscape Painting

    Anonymous review on 3/29/2023
    Excellent teacher allows each student to develop a personal style working on paintings of their choice, and is always ready to answer questions and make suggestions. Each class he gives a presentation on an aspect of painting and painters with lots of interesting paintings as example. I learned so much this session.

    I had a great time enrolling in the intro to voice-over class. It's a great way to get introduced to voice acting and the class overall was an inexpensive way to get a feel of voice acting.
  • An Introduction to Voiceovers

    Reviewed by Nat D. on 9/14/2022
    Really fun class, very insightful. I really got a lot of value out of the follow up phone call. The instructor answered all our questions and we very prepared and professional. Kind of pricey for a one session class and a very shrewd marketing move for this Voices For All company.

    As anticipated, I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Eric Smies was knowledgeable, as well as entertaining. I left the class with a greater understanding of how to begin and maintain a hobby, career in the VA industry. I'm retired. I'll decide my next move, once I have been critiqued.
  • How to Write the Funny

    I had different expectations so that is why the low rating. I anticipated to write jokes, but instead it was to write a funny essay.

    It was a good class. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun doing so. The instructor really broke down the patterns in how funny material is made. He also created an environment that made it easy to participate.
  • Stand-Up Comedy Workshop with Graduation Show

    Jonathan is a gem. Incredibly passionate teacher who really breaks down what you need to know to have success in comedy. I never leave reviews on these sites but people need to know how good this class/teacher is. Already told all my friends so you folks might as well know too
  • Landscape Painting

    Reviewed by Susan S. on 3/31/2022
    Todd Carpenter was an excellent teacher. Each week, he displayed and reviewed different artists' work and taught a lesson (often, both came from our questions and requests). He allowed us to choose our own subjects, then answered questions and gave feedback as we progressed. Todd is the best art teacher I have had on Zoom.
  • Painting in Watercolor - Level 2

  • Home Sewing Bootcamp

    Barbara is amazing and fun to follow along, and after years of not touching my sewing machine (nor hand sewing), I feel confident enough to make some pants, totes and even explore new patterns! This class was the highlight of my weekends!
