Reviews for Michelle Danner’s Acting Workshops
“Best experience of my life”
“Firstly, everyone should go through this phenomenal journey. I recently took the class “Golden Box” with Michelle Danner. It was the best experience of my life! I recommend every person to take this acting class! Furthermore the Golden Box is not just an acting class you need in order to be a great actor. It also helps you be a great human being. She teaches you humility. Michelle taught us how to use our triggers to benefit us when acting. We cried, we laughed, we were angry, and happy. It will inspire you and motivate you to be the best actor you can be. In conclusion: I am so happy I took this class and I will definitely take it again.” – Marylu
“Michelle will give you a toolbox every actor needs”
“Fantastic and great acting technique class! For any actor wanting to go deeply into character analysis and learning to use their emotion at will! Michelle Danner will give you: a toolbox every actor needs with dozens of exercises, hundreds of useful tips, great friendly and conversational atmosphere and thousands of smart words and thoughts. This acting technique class was well worth my time. She is a respected top acting coach and you can see why after taking this 2 day intensive. Michelle showed the actors in the class so many advanced and special ways of working on developing characters. In addition, she also taught us how to go deeper emotionally and how to find literally ANY emotion. This emotion can be used in developing in-depth, multi-layered characters. Both days passed so fast, that it was sad when it ended.” – Alex D.
