Hello Marichristie!

Thank you for posting!

Gail --

I love teaching! So glad you like my style.

I'm teaching 17 Immersion classes this year. Immersions are 4-day intensives, and usually two of those nights we act out scenes. Enrollment is limited to 7. We dig deep into deep editing. Acting out scenes is great for choreography and body language and dialogue. And - it's so fun too!

Thanks for chiming in. Hope I get to meet you someday!

Glad you'll focus on making your dialogue (and everything) sound natural for that character. It's too easy to think like a writer!
