Hanani had an acting class yesterday in LA taught by Michael Testa.  He is the casting director for Cold Case.  There were about 15-20 students in the class and Hanani was the youngest by far. Michael Testa read with her and he was so surprised.  He said that Hanani's interpretation and performance was the best out of everybody.  He wanted to keep her headshot.  All of the other actors congratulated her.  Nobody expected that out of her. She had another class last Monday with an acting coach, Carnetta Jones.  Look her up on Google. Carnetta also said that Hanani was exceptional. Hanani is really good... even by Hollywood standards. Your coaching is why! The Richard Mason method works!!!! (-:

I have recently had the privilege of studying under Richard Mason at Acting in Columbus. The entire experience has been nothing short of inspirational. Ricks classes has provided me with an exceptional amount of knowledge not only on acting but also about how the industry works. He has provided me with a solid foundation and the confidence to continue forward with acting. Thank you Richard Mason.

I have taken three classes with Richard Mason, and I cannot say enough about how great they have been and how much I have learned. Richard’s classes have helped me feel more comfortable in front of the camera and also more confident in my acting abilities. He teaches you the essential parts of an audition and how to “wow” your audience. Richard’s classes have given me the tools that I need to be successful in the acting industry. I have signed on with CAM Talent Ageny in Columbus, Ohio and about to sign a modeling contract with an agency in Miami, Fl.

......Thank you for the info you presented at the Acting for TV Commercial Workshop in Columbus earlier this month. I went to Docherty's open call in Cleveland and, at the very least, it was a good experience for me. They directed me several different ways for the cold reading, took a few of my headshots, and were very complimentary ........ I wanted to let you know I was cast in a local commercial which shot today. Very fun!! And they paid me - even better!!
