I coached with April for months, she kicked my butt in all the right ways. She challenged me to dig a lot deeper than I even realized that I even had. The training was really specific, compassionate, intelligent, informative. She helped me pull out some of my best work. As a result, I auditioned for 12 different grad programs, got into 11 of them. Now, I’m at Juilliard, part of the first group of the masters division. I have no doubt that I would not be here if not for April.
April Yvette Thompson is one of the most influential teaching artists I have ever worked with. She is a first rate teacher and coach who has had an immense impact on my life. Whether April is functioning as an acting coach, business teacher or writing instructor, which I have been lucky enough to have been her student in all three capacities, her teaching is incredibly specific. I would not be at the Juilliard School right now if I hadn’t worked with her.
My solo show sold out last month and I produced and directed 2 one acts in May. In the past month I’ve had callbacks for Gotham and Limitless, 3 print ad look sees, 2 commercial auditions. Oh, and great head shots and a cool website and an enhanced wardrobe, etc. This is just the beginning of the new ME, so excited for more of your coaching and mentoring… 10 years as an actor and this has been the best year in my career… SO FAR!!
April Yvette Thompson gives insightful and hard-hitting advice that not only motivates, but gives you the much needed kick-in-the-pants that even an experienced actor such as myself needs.
A creative tour-de-force, April gave me specific skill sets I could implement immediately in the real world to work, create & live a fulfilling life as an artist. She hones in on what sets you on fire. And she makes you laugh. A lot. And having a sense of humor in this industry is the key to thriving in it.
More stories from April’s clients are coming soon.
