MEMORABLE FEEDBACK
from PARENTS & STUDENTS
“I was very impressed with Judy Berlin’s passion as she worked with her students. Judy is the founder and director and I agreed with her method and philosophy of teaching! It's a true win-win for everybody! We don't see enough that in the world today! All the "greats" that I have ever met or worked with have been people who show and radiate great kindness to others! Judy is a true professional who loves her work! My 7 yr old daughter really wanted to attend and this had nothing to do with "Dad" and/or "Mom" pushing her to be there. Thank you for making it a wonderful experience.”
Andy Arness, Sunnyvale
“Programs involving acting can be dodgy and every child is a "future star" and no assessment is honest. However, Judy Berlin and her staff knows what they are doing, knows talent when they see it and are honest in their assessments. Judy is really about TEACHING and creating a fun learning experience.”
Ms. Marsha Cohen, Hastings College of Law, San Francisco
“We are so proud of our 5 year old, Catrin! Her oral language skills and confidence have improved since we began attending Kids on Camera. After Catrin completed the TV Acting 1, eight-week series, her pre-school teachers noticed improvements and asked us what she was doing to contribute to this change. We replied: Kids on Camera was the only new experience that contributed to this change.”
Mrs. Logutova, San Francisco
“A playful place where every child shines!”
Mrs. Sally Rubin, Oakland
“There’s no competition at Kids on Camera, just fun. Everyone makes you feel so comfortable at Kids on Camera. No one laughs at you, only with you.”
Alex Dunaway, (Age 12) Novato
“I've been extremely impressed with your honesty and insight! Kids on Camera truly is the best in preparing camera-ready and audition-ready kids. My teenage son, Mason, has become more comfortable in his own skin, more confident and a great public speaker. You also provide wonderful exposure to industry professionals.”
Tonia Hsieh, Producer/Karma Pictures, East Bay
