"Thank you so much for a GREAT class!
It was informative and very helpful, but most of all: FUN!
You created a very laid back atmosphere that helped us actors relax and discover new areas in our work.
I especially liked the 'improv' part of the class -
and now I actually look forward to an audition that asks me to do that, instead of worrying on 'what is expected' of me in those improv situations."

" I really enjoyed Kimberly Graham's Film Intensive class.The class size was small so you really get lots of opportunity to work.Kimberly gives great feedback that is nuturing but honest. I really learned alot about auditioning for film/tv in her class and have had 2 callbacks and 1 booking since! She puts you at ease,which isn't always easy in a CD's class because you feel you have to perform at your best. But she gets that out of the way in the beginning by telling us to relax and we're there to learn. I would highly recommend this class to any actor who wants to improve their film/tv auditioning skills."
Kathleen Boddington
"As a professional for over @#%* years I have this real aversion when it comes to paying an organization to "meet and greet" casting directors and agents.However my personal network led me to Paul Michaels of The Network, and for whatever reason I plunked down tuition for Kimberly Graham's voice over "class", a fairly new arena for me.Well, for those of you wondering if it's worth it? It is sooooo worth it.Not only does this woman have an excellent directorial ability, she can also "cast" her copy with a keen eye that immediately helps her students focus his/her strengths.And if the business end of the v/o side wasn't enough, she has us hysterical with her off the cuff humor.Thank you Kim! You're an amazing teacher!"
Denise Pence

"It was great being a part of your class. I was able to watch each scene and, definitely, saw the stakes being raised when we put the scene on its feet. I look forward to working with you again. Oh, and I've been spreading the word about you and your style - great stuff, all."

Dominik Tiefenthaler
"First of all,the course was terrific! I have never been in a VO course before where the teacher was so insightful, and got such a good grasp as to who each of the students were, and so quickly. Good for you!"
Michael Rosenthal
" The best three adjectives to describe Kim's class are warm,rich and inviting. Kim has an outstanding eye for all levels of acting abilities. I was greatly impressed with how quickly Kim adjusted her critiques in a way that made the actors feel like they were able to understand the tricks and trades of acting even more.Another impressive quality in Kim's class I noticed right away was the confident, friendly atmosphere she conducts in her class. That is why I am so proud to say her class is a MUST for all actors!
April Brennan
"The first thing I felt when I met Kimberly at a seminar was her warmth and compassion. Once we got down to busy,immediately she was right on with her direction. I knew then that I would continue to take classes with her. She gets "it" out of you, and as most of you know, sometimes that can take awhile, but she also has the patience and where with all to take you another way or have you try something totally different. She's gonna get it out of you. :) And she knows the business from both sides. Kimberly is someone that I will continue to see for training. She is also a very regular, nice person and very funny."
Jimmy Aquino
"Kim is a great teacher. Personally, I went to her class ( I still go actually) with mostly stage training and experience. With her knowledge and experience, she is able to work with actors of all levels and backgrounds. She guides each actor to bring out their best, sharpest and most compelling performance AND she is very funny, to boot! Her class is a great investment for any actor looking to transition to film and tv work, or for that matter, anyone looking to sharpen their skills!"
Chiara Montalto
"Kimberly Graham has all of the qualities you would want in a teacher. She is incredibly patient and encouraging. She can point out right away what it is about each student that can make them a truthful actor, and compelling on camera. And she has high standards and expects the best out of everyone. I highly recommend her on camera class to any film actor looking to improve their skills."
Sean O'Hagan
"I only have positive things to say about my experience in Kimberly Graham's on camera acting class.She is incredibly down to earth and immediately put our group at ease with her great sense of humor.She makes actors feel comfortable, which takes away a lot of the slef imposed pressure. It is the perfect environment to shake off any nervous energy and just "go for it". Kimberly wants actors to do well and gives constructive, honest feedback in a way that is encouraging.I was impressed to see how invested she was in each individual, and it helped to hear the different notes that she gave each person. I will definitely be taking her class again!"
Jenna Caswell
"I have taken several classes with Kimberly Graham and have found her to be very intuitive with regard to what needs fixing in your performance and also incredibly supportive. She gets right to the point and expects you to rise to the challenge and I have noticed that this approach seems to work at their own pace and you always see a vast improvement. I highly recommend Kim's class. She is terrific.
Nancy Stewart
"I have had the privilege to take voice over classes with Kim and I was not disappointed. Kim is really great at pinpointing your strengths and weaknesses and working to enhance or eliminate them respectively. You will be met with a very supportive environment and leave with a better understanding of how to use your talents. I could not recommend her any higher! Thank you Kim!
Brad Makarowski
"I started taking voice over classes with Kimberly Graham 2 years ago. Her instruction was on point and easy to follow.Her expertise is in my opinion, unparalleled.After taking class with Kim, I booked several aducational DVD's and commercials. I would recommend Kim to anyone who is starting out in voiceovers, or those students that have reached a plateau in their voice over career and are looking to get to the next level."
Mellisa Teitel
"Kimberly Graham is so patient, yet effective in getting what she needs from an actor for their best possible audition. After taking her class I felt more confident in my on-camera auditions and have had other casting directors comment on my ease and commitment. She also will challenge you to better yourself and take those risks we sometimes are afraid to take. Kimberly has also called me in for actual auditions she was casting...so you know she never forgets you, which is very exciting!"
Larissa Laurel
"I loved your class! You provided valuable insight to everyone who performed and maintained a levity which not only made every day fun, but enabled some really impressive learning. I can't wait to work with you again!"
Justin Hoch
"Kimberly Graham really understands the fundamental details of what a casting director is looking for. Her knowledge and insight is incredibly helpful to an actor on any level, and on top of that,she is a joy to work with.Taking her class will really refine your path when it comes to the do's and dont's of auditioning on camera, and overall, really make you a better actor. She challenges you, but always with a smile. Thanks a ton, Kim!"
Tim Shelton
"Kimberly Graham is a fantastic acting coach and a pleasure to work with. I have learned so much from her. She is honest,direct and has great insight. Kimberly gives you practical tools that increase your chances of booking a film or tv role. I highly recommend her class.
Ingrid Shau
"Not only was the class with Kimberly fun, it was extremely helpful in learning the do's and dont's of auditioning on camera for film and tv. Her comments were inciteful and she knew exactly what was good and bad about how I handled myself in front of the camera. Being a theater trained actor I had a tendency to be too big and she told me how to tone down and be more real in front of the camera.Kimberly is a giving person and only wants to help her students learn and improve. Take a class with Kimberly and you won't regret it."
Sheldon Stone
"Thank you so much for not giving us only practical advice-but also in a sense-empowering advice about acting and auditioning. If you truly know yourself, accept yourself and support yourself-as your best friend would do-you will give the best performances. " Give a shit... but don't give a shit" :) Life is too short. Big Kudos!
Monika Baskiewicz
"Kimberly's advice on how to make my performance more honest and clear was invaluable. Because she uses very high quality equipment, it's also easy to see what she means. Through her precise coaching and direction, Kimberly was able to bring out my best performance. The group time has a very "ensemble" type feeling as Kimberly knows how to set a positive and appropriately critical--yet uplifting--tone. You can tell Kimberly truly cares about your progress as an actor. Furthermore, as far as a value for a class--you can be guaranteed your money is well spent."
Patrick Bresnyan
"I love going to Kimberly's class.It's such a collaborative and safe learning environment. She is wonderful at helping breakdown a scene/script in a way that makes perfect sense.Kim gives honest feedback and direction tailored to what stage you are in your career and pushes you to go further. She is highly recommended!"
Heather Leonard
"Kimberly was fabulous! She takes the time to show you how many choices you have to make and how many layers you must have before you are ready for a big audition.She talks like an actor."
Jamie Kerezsi
"Kimberly changed the way I approach auditioning.I'm decisive and confident in my choices. I feel relaxed and I'm ready to go in and OWN it! Her feedback and insight is top notch.She truly helps you understand exactly what casting directors are looking for during an audition.
Thank you Kimberly!"
John Martellucci
I found Kimberly's Master Class extremely helpful.She really taught me a lot about how far I could go during an on camera emotional scene.I had been holding back before for fear of being "too big" and now I'm confident about what I need to do to be affective and real.
Amy Staats
"I learned so much about myself and from watching my classmates make great adjustments.For me to actually see and analyze myself on camera was invaluable.It's so helpful to see my habits, the way I take direction, how I come across on camera.Kimberly's direction is straightforward and very effective.I feel I have a much clearer understanding of the audition process and what casting directors are looking for."
Lauren Meley
"Kimberly is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very much an actor's casting director. Her wit and sense of humor deliver the necessary messages the actor needs to hear in a very supportive and direct way. I personally left encouraged and motivated after every workshop. Favorite Casting Director in NY!"
Nick Ouritski
"The biggest lesson I learned from Kim's class is how to go the "extra mile" when analyzing my script and then incorporating that understanding into my performance. As a result, the number of my job bookings and callbacks has increased enormously."
Randy Schein
"There are a lot of on camera classes in this city, but I'm telling you, any actor out there scraping the bottom of the barrel ought to invest in Kimberly's class only. Her feedback is specific to you,it's constructive and simple, inspiring and effective.Her experience as an artist puts her right in your shoes, and the result is a lesson in acting,career, even life that you can't possibly forget. Go!"
Jennifer Angela Bishop
"Taking the class with Kimberly was wonderful...she really showed me what I was doing incorrectly and adjusted it right away for me.Walking out of that class, I felt much better about my skills and more confident for the next audition."

"Immediately after taking Kimberly's class I raved to my acting coach about it.She is well versed in acting terminology and can see what we are thinking and doing and explain her adjustments very clearly.Kimberly is also very friendly and down to earth. And there is one on one time focused on you and what you need.
