“By far the kindest man at VCU, this technique class is one of the best VCU offered during my time there.”
“Andrew Bryce has easily been my favorite acting teacher so far at VCU. His knowledge of the Meisner technique and ability to efficiently lead a class made for an immensely gratifying experience.”
“Out of all of my classes this semester this one has impacted my acting the most and has been the class I have learned the most
from...This class needs to be offered in the future! I cannot stress enough how beneficial it has been for me and my work.”
“He was a great professor. He answered his emails often and made sure to clear up any confusion if needed. You should show up to class, as that is part of your grade. He is pretty lenient on assignments and all-around a great professor. I definitely would take another class taught by him. He made the class atmosphere very comfortable.”
“Thank you Andrew Bryce for teaching such an insightful and educational class on the world of theatre directing! We hope you'll come back and teach another class!” - The American Theatre, https://twitter.com/AmericanThtre/status/1726630444261929262
