“Erin is a well of knowledge in respect to Shakespeare and the accompanying Second Circle work! I came into the intensive as a relative newbie and left with a newfound respect AND confidence to explore further. Her enthusiasm combined with clarity of instruction and guidance provide a wonderful space for growth and a continued learning experience well past the workshop end.” Brian B

“I recommend this class to anyone who wishes to explore the work of Shakespeare in a meaningful way. Questions are encouraged in class, and the time allowed each participant is generous. One is able to go deep with the action of the work, because the meaning of the language is made clear. The energy, at all times, is light and receptive, and the instructor shapes performance and discourse in such way that there is no whiff of judgementalism whatsoever. I absolutely recommend Erin Roth as a teacher and I absolutely recommend the class.” Elisabeth Henry

“I have been fortunate enough to both take Erin’s Shakespeare Intensive class and work one-on-one with Erin on Voice work. As an actor I have worked with other voice teachers, but it was working with Erin that finally taught me how to achieve a clear, non-forced voice that can carry me through weeks of performing without strain. Her Shakespeare class made his text come alive in all its beauty and clear specificity.” Anonymous

"I came to this class intimidated by Shakespeare, with little knowledge of it beyond having seen/read a handful of plays. I'm leaving with a larger appetite for Shakespeare and a very strong base to continue my education in his works, confidently. I can’t say enough about Erin’s kindness, and patience and encouragement, as well as her knowledge of the subject matter. To anyone who is intimidated or frightened by the Bard, you have come to the right place. Erin will guide you seamlessly and will provide you with tools that make learning Shakespeare fun, as well as feeling like you’ve grown in your knowledge each class. I truly enjoyed getting started on this journey and I hope to continue to work with Erin in the future." Alex C. House
