Hollyn Gayle, B.F.A. Musical Theatre, WIU

AEA Actor - Former Student - Friend
"Brett was the first acting teacher I had that took me out of honing instinct and into honing craft. He gave me tools to attack text in a way I had never experienced. His high standards made me want to achieve more, and I take those standards with me every time I begin work on a new role. He gives his students the gift of freedom that comes with deep text analysis and ultra-preparedness before stepping into a scene. I can’t wait for the next time I’m in a rehearsal hall or classroom with Brett."

Bethany Springs, B.F.A. Musical Theatre, UND

Freelance Actor - Former Student - Friend
"Brett identifies the actor's strengths and weaknesses immediately, helping them launch into a realm of self-discovery. His rehearsal techniques allow the cast to go above and beyond - connecting the actors by helping them realize that the show is about more than just themselves. To this day I still find myself looking for little pieces of his teaching styles in other directors that I have come into contact with. That is the kind of lasting impression he has had on me. It is an honor to have had the opportunity to work with him as closely as I did."
