"Winning this contest and working with Walter has been sensational. Coming from a theatre background, Walter has provided me not only with the tools needed to have a successful career in film, but he has also given me confidence in my full potentital as an overall performer...all while keeping each class fresh and fun. I will be studying at the Alza Acting Studio for a very long time!" - Jordie Currie

Walter Alza..Dared me to be myself. Got right to the point of helping me to discover, what honestly connects me to a scene. - Karen LeBlanc (Lead actor of Multiple award winning series RE-genesis & Actra Award Nominee for Nurse.Fighter.Boy)

Walter's passion for Acting really shows in his work and in class.  With his help I was able to go much deeper and explore the essence of each and every character.  He's been a great influence on my development as an actor.  Shiva Negar

***Private Coaching pays: I got into Concordia!  Thank you for your help. They said that they really loved my audition. Jocelyn Segal

Thanks Alza, I got the film in Australia to shoot this Summer! Could had not taken place without your guidance and deep passion and insights,  J. Campisi!

Taking Walter's class its an amazing journey. Brendan Jeffers, Actor (True Crime, The Weight, This Is Wonderland, Get Rich or Die Tryin')

I started doing scene work and audition technique with Walter only six months ago. Since then I can notice a big improvement in my craft work  and the commitment I have developed towards my career. I can say that I have refined my technique and that I am more confident as an actor as well as a person. It has been a great experience for me because I get to work with the best of the best. J. OSPINA

I have definitely grown a great deal as an actor since working with Walter, but the one thing I didn't account for was my growth as a human being. As Carribbean men we're indirectly taught that showing feelings and emotions is a sign of weakness. Especially if we learn these lessons from some of the older generation. But working with Walter has enabled me to be more in tune with my own feelings and emotions and to be able to express them more freely. And that has directly helped me to improve my own personal relationships with my family and friends. So I'm grateful for the acting lessons and even more grateful for the life lessons.Thank you Walter.  D. Smith

I have been acting for fifteen years now. I took a break for a year and a half due to personal health issues. So to sharpen up my skills I enrolled in Walter's Monday night classes. Its probably the best investment I could have made. Not only did he help me regain my comfort and confidence in front of the lens I applied his direction and I booked my first audition since my come-back. Thanks brother, you were right. Sevag Sagherian Actor

When Walter acts, you see the intensity of a  beast in him, Academy Award Nominee Director Jim Sheridan (in America, In the name of The father)

The class was awesome, very informative & I was surprised how we got to go through all the scenes.  Many of the classes I've taken focus only on one piece.  And the fact that we were able to go through it again, discuss them & watch everyone's scene was amazing.  The class has a very good flow as some classes can drag out.  Looking forward to next class....

Acting was something I had always wanted to pursue but never had the courage nor the chutzpah to do anything about it.  Thanks to Walter's persistence, positive attitude and encouragement, I joined his class last year and haven't looked back since.  He not only pushes his students to be more than they knew they could, he supports decisions and helps you to improve on the ones you've made.  He's a wonderful man, actor, father, friend and an even better teacher.  I just adore Walter and am forever grateful!!

Walter Alza private classes has allowed me the unique oppertunity to train in a one on one environment. His undivided attention and style towards character development in a scene study or monologue is powerful and will effectively shreed away your nervous energy. Applying the same knowledge to my general classes becomes routine asnd comfortable even though working with the other students may sometimes be challenging, I think that's one of the elements that keeps it interesting. There's never a dull moment. Private and general classes gives me the best of both worlds Dail Polius

Walter Alza is a special human being; caring family man, friend and mentor. A great actor in his own right, Walter approaches everything he does with directness and positive energy which students of his cannot help but absorb. Because of Walter's refined method, tremendous coaching ability and encouragement, I was able to land principal parts from the first two auditions I ever went to in my life. I am very grateful and plan to continue refining the instrument under Walter's guidance!  Frank Longo

Working with Walter has been an incredible learning experience. In the short time I did work with Walter, I was able to build my confidence and learn so many skills about my craft. I would highly recommend to all aspiring actors and existing actors to gain knowledge from a talented and dedicated professional... Walter Alza! Natasha Roy

After four years of theater school, I have worked with many acting teachers and directors and I can honestly say that Walter's technique is the most personable and memorable of all of them. .... Kristin Wallace, Actor.

Mr. Alza’s abilities as an acting coach are one of a kind. He has a unique ability to teach audition preparation, text analysis and cold reading. He coached me for a very important audition with the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles. I was so nervous, and Mr. Alza really made it easier for me. Now I am pleased to announce that I will be attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles as one of their newest 2007 students. M. Wittig, LA

in the classes personally did not know what to expect from Walter when I first met him. However, as soon as I took his first class I felt his so-called wipe come out and I knew that I was in for an acting experience unlike anything I had ever undertaken. I was right!

My Experience in the class was very positive. Walter encourages you to go beyond yourself and really dive into the characters in the scene study classes. He uses a variety of techniques to foster this, many of which I now adapted when rehearsing and performing.

Star Tv: Walter, A Scene Stealer.

Privates with Walter are a place where you can undergo the most development and understanding of yourself as well as your instrument. Understanding yourself is a fundamental necessity needed to grow as an actor. Walter really becomes familiar with you in privates and helps pin-point your weaknesses. Sometimes you don’t even realize that you’re trapped in bad habits and that’s where Walter comes into play. You become a different type of actor after studying personally with Walter. I would not have had such huge improvements in such a short period of time without Walter’s caring personal touch. Daniel Reininghaus

To: Agent Gerry Jordan,I really don't know if I would have been booked on this recent commercial spot without my studies with Walter Alza.  He's developed a practical way to approach auditions with focus, depth and originality--a method for working actors that is designed to work as well for commercial auditions as it does for features or TV.  I cannott recommend him highly enough as a teacher...in fact, everybody in his advanced class seems to be working!!  I've just started another session of "Advanced Scene Study", and I plan to continue.   Also, Walter (www.walteralza.com) is becoming quite well known for private coaching, so if the boys are up for any film roles, I plan to have Walter help them prepare...after all...no one wants to be directed by their mom!!

Mr Alza, He is brilliant. I started with his On Camera Scene Study Class then I did the Weekend Intensive. Now, he is my acting coach which I see twice a week and when I need audition prep.
I have studied with several teachers and for myself, I found my experience with him on a one on one basis and in a class setting to be most rewarding and with proven results. His classes are one of the best environments I have experienced. He challanged me beyond my own known ability as a performer.

For some reason, when I received your class announcement a few months ago, I knew that you would be a good fit with one of my new talent, Roy and I want to thank you for all your great work with him.

When Roy first joined Skye, his strength was improvisation. He was very nervous and uncomfortable with even the fewest lines for an audition. Since working with you he has improved immensely, so much so, that he landed a lead role in the short film “APB” and received the highest praise from the director. He was then chosen as a principal in “The Adventures of Fuming Chu” and has since joined ACTRA as an apprentice member. With all your help and guidance he has evolved into a better class actor and I look forward to great things in Roy’s future. You have a special gift, Walter and it is so kind of you to share it!! Thanks again for all your hard work -Sincerely, Deborah M. Anthony Skye Management

So, thank you very much. I have loved the class work you are wise and intuitive (an actor's blessings!), and
your choice of scenes for me have been exactly right just enough for me to get back in the groove. I know I have stuff to work on, but there is where the joy comes in these breakthroughs. I still haven't done the head shots or bio,

"Yesterday's class was fun and captivating. It's keeping me engaged and I'm constantly learning something new. The level is just right." R.J.

What can I say about the classes. Well...first of all I would like to say that the Advance Scene Study classes are amazing. Walter has certain techniques he uses to bring out the true actor in each individual. I've learned so much since joining his class in July 2006. My acting has gone up another level. And this is not just me saying this. My peers have noticed the difference as well. Even when I'm not participating in a cold read or a monologue. I learn so much from Walter just by watching and listening to what he is saying to the other students. That's what I call true practical, on-hands learning!!!

As for the Private classes. I didn't know what to expect. But I'm so glad that I took the privates. They elevated my performance in class and has given me the confidence to go and try out for any auditions.

One thing that Walter always says in class is "Always be prepared and ready to adapt"t and that is exactly what his class has prepared me to do. 
Thank you Walter.   Carlos Robert
