business' but it turns out it's worked wonders

for putting your heart into your work and
your students. The last time I had this feeling

back in the water. It's nice to have that
feeling again. I think I will be one of those
students that you'll never get rid of."

time, and learned mucho!"
Yvonne Fisher, September 2003
"I am moved to write this note
to you having just booked a national commercial
and thereby again being reminded of how important
you have been to getting me back in the race.
I was lucky that my agent recommended
I come to you for what, in my mind, was just
to be a 'brush-up.' Well, my presumptive arrogance
(thinking I already knew everything) was quickly
replaced by awe and respect for the information
and methods you and your team of instructors
had to offer. Your tutelage and guidance have
been individually tailored, personal and genuine.
With as many students as I know you have to
keep track of, you always knew exactly where
I was, what I needed work on and what I was
doing right.
I have been impressed at how well
prepared I have become under your care, and
at how few surprises there have been along
the way even from the surprises (everyone
should take the improv classes - they're a
MUST!!!).
You have given me very powerful knowledge,
tools and habits that I feel allow me to function
within the top percentile of the 'numbers
game.' You are a master at showing actors
where the wind and the sails are and how to
properly rig and steer. With that has come
the confidence to take the wheel and go for
it."
Guy Williams, Jr., August 2003
"Your class lessons and CD's
were INVALUABLE! Thank you."
Kristina Molinari, June 2003
"Because of everything I've
learned from the Acting, Improv and Commercial
classes, I got the first agent I interviewed
with and the first commercial I went out on.
And I have booked five more in the last six
months."
Chad Brokaw, May 2003
"I'm getting callbacks, sometimes
without having to go on the initial call and
I'm getting called in over and over at the
same casting offices. All of this is a direct
result of what I learned in your class. I'm
so grateful for your help, advice and coaching."
Tivoli Frick, February 2003
"Since your class I went on
and did 2 national commercials. Thank you."
Carlyle Sebastian Clyburn, January 2003

in!"

(for 3 years). You rule."

awesome. Thank you so much for letting me
work with you and pushing me to do my best."
Sergio Duran, May 2002
"I marched in today to audition
for a theatrical agent. She promptly said
'all my clients are series regulars.' To which
I replied, 'well, I'll be a series regular.'
So, she throws this script at me and I have
five minutes to prep. I pretended I was in
class and did what Eric taught me. So I do
it, nailed it...and she tells me that I beat
out some schmo who just came in there with
theatrical credits up the arse. She said whatever
I'm doing, I'm ready and who is my teacher.
Thank you Eric Zivot."

exactly what I am capable of. Her techniques
have not only made me shine in auditions,
but have also taught me to relax and enjoy
the process. Without her help I probably wouldn't
have booked half of the dozen commercials
I have running now!"

call backs and booked jobs."
