Here’s what a couple of students had to say about Lainie’s class:

“I am still flying high from this weekend’s workshop and my cheeks still hurt from all the laughing!  That was an amazing experience for me, one that confirmed beyond any doubt that voice acting is what I was born to do (I just need to work at it).  Thank you for sharing your talents and experience with all of us.  Thank you also for creating an atmosphere of camaraderie, where we all felt safe to make asses of ourselves and just laugh.  That’s huge, since we’re essentially baring our souls to each other!  I credit you for fostering a sense of community and encouragement in your classes, and I’m not sure if I’m just lucky this way, but every class I’ve been to has been full of the neatest people!  You must have a no-asshole policy or something…” …Jennifer Bateman

“Thank you so much for another amazing class.  You are such a wonderful teacher.  You are so organized, prepared, insightful, knowledgeable, experienced, and so very talented.  I really would not say any of those things if I didn’t mean it, and I wouldn’t even say it to most people even if I felt it, but you are such a great director and teacher that I HAVE to say it.  You know so many things about me, things I already know, and that I struggle with every day, really, and we’ve only worked together in two weekend workshops.  It’s kinda scary!  That to me, is the mark of a great teacher and a great mind, and I am grateful to have found you.  You are really helping me deal with real things that I need to work on, and I appreciate that so much.  You have no idea.  I have studied with so many acting teachers, and I use the term teacher very loosely with many of these people, and I can say that out of the at least fifty (I can’t even count how many) teachers/coaches I’ve worked with on various facets of acting you are hands down in the top five people.  That includes all my teachers at UT and all my teachers in NY.  Wynn Handman, Stephen Gerald, Lee Abraham, Marian Hampton, Lainie Frasier – not necessarily in that order.” …Nicole Magee Shiro
