Course Testimonials

Sarah Ellis Holland

“Stevie’s Q&A was refreshingly honest, and with insightful and clear direction on our scene work plus so many hilarious anecdotes to illustrate points throughout the day; the only question I had left was: Why isn’t Stevie acting?! He’s so good, himself!!

Allistair Ward

“Had a fantastic day learning from one of the best, felt like we could ask any questions and really explore the other side of the casting table. Stevie went overtime for us and made sure that we all got a proper amount of time in front of the camera. Lots of gratitude for Stevie and the Hub Studio.
