As always...let me prep this email by the lastest gossip on our current 
students:

Susan Papa got called in for CSI and got a callback to boot! And Heather Long 
got called in for Fraiser! And update on Jan Haley Soule: she's been working 
pretty much every week on Passions (sweet!!!) and still comes to class even 
though she's a soap star! :-)

I just get a kick out of seeing how well our actors are doing especially 
since we're just a wee little acting school with one teacher that's churning out 
some awesome talents. The casting directors that have seen our actors are so 
amazed by Nancy's coaching (We have students that are going from being green to 
being competitive in a year's time or less) that several of them want to 
actually audit (not guest teach) Nancy's class just to see how see teaches and the 
methods that she uses.

I think that the main reason why Nancy is such a kick-butt teacher is that 
she prepares us for the REAL world of casting...meaning we have to learn how to 
do that magical audition without the benefit of rehersal with our scene 
partners (because in an actual audition situation, you really won't know who you are 
reading with or how they will be reading it) or the benefit of seeing the 
whole script (we work off of 3-6 page sides like an actual audition). 

It's like she stacks the deck against her actors in class, so that in 
auditions - where you only have your scene to bring all the life and humanity and 
magicalness of you - her actors are prepared for whatever comes their way. 

Anyhoo, the point of the email is that Nancy is an awesome acting coach...and 
word is getting around! So much so, that we've had so much interest that 
Nancy is thinking about starting a South Bay (near San Jose) class to free up some 
spaces in San Francisco, and to make it easier on our students that actually 
live in San Jose.

So how bout it guys? Can I see a show of hands (or emails :-) ) to see who'd 
be interested?

Again, it'd be Thursdays, starting January 8th, 2004...

It'd be a great way to start the new year!
