Brian is a fantastic teacher. His ability to make people feel comfortable and judge when they are ready to take on new challenges is very impressive. I have never experienced anything like it.

Brian is a wonderful teacher, with a great sense of humour ... and a nurturing, patient teaching style. He sees what you're capable of, and then gives you the coaching, or challenge, and/or scene partner you need to be successful (yes, you will probably have to sing at some point). .. Recommend highly!

“As an improv teacher, I’m much more interested in the therapeutic value than in the show business angle. I find teaching beginners to be the most fulfilling, ’cause it’s where the greatest personal transformations occur. There is a trajectory of joy in the first few classes that will never be repeated; they’re discovering that they, and the others in their new tribe, have magic powers. Literally – magic powers.” - Brian G. Smith
