Haley Sanchez(Series Regular, HBO’s Generation) “Aaron genuinely cares about his students. He really helps you become the best actor you can be whatever skill level you’re at. I took Aaron’s classes and continue to coach with Aaron. We worked on my self-tape and callback for Generation together. In both coaching and his classes Aaron allowed me to see things that I never knew were there. Aaron helps actors understand their character’s worlds on a deep level, and ultimately makes sure we never feel like characters at all, but like real, authentic human beings.” |

Harmeet K. PandeySeries Regular on Diary of a Female President “Aaron is such an amazing coach. He coached me and filmed the audition tape for Diary of a Female President. I feel I got the show, in large part, thanks to Aaron’s coaching, and I continue to coach with him on many of our episodes. Aaron really helps me bring characters to life and to discover the potential in every moment of a script. After our first day working together I knew he is probably the best coach I have had. Whenever I get coached by him I nearly always get a callback. I can tell that Aaron loves doing this and he always has an energy that makes working together a lot of fun. I am very happy I found Aaron and I hope to continue working with him for a long time!” |
