I love Barry! He's so supportive, courteous when need be, and I love the way he teaches acting. I find it very easy to be able to know how all of my acting classes click together in his room. He can be kind of a hard head at times, but I've learned so much from him. I wish he could teach me again next year!

Comment:

Barry worked as a professional actor for over 35 years in "the business," as we say. Take what he gives you and run with it, he knows what he's talking about. And in addition, he is so kind, with such a genuine interest in the growth of all of his students. You will emerge a better person and a better actor. You are lucky to be in his class.

It's nice to have a teacher who's concerned with what the students have learned from him, as opposed to what information they can regurgitate for him.

Comment:

He's so potty-mouthed and so hilarious. His sense of humor takes the pressure off tremendously. I never laughed so hard in my life. And yet he's really good at what he does, surprisingly so. I love this guy, seriously.
