Hi, I'm an acting student, currently in my third year at drama school, in Sydney, Australia. I regularly receive your ActorTips and emails and just wanted to say what a joy they are to read. They often help me a great deal and keep me focused. Thanks for keeping us on top of things. Can't wait for the next one!!!!
- Soseh Yekanians

Hello, I have been involved with theatre for a few years now and I have been receiving your acting tips through email for quite a while. I really enjoy your tips, they have helped me with many auditions. Just this last week I tried out for the play, "See How They Run." It was a cold reading audition which was nerve wrecking for me because I've only done one cold reading audition. Your tips on cold readings helped a lot and got me over my nervousness. I made the call backs and later that evening learned that I had received the part of the Bishop. Thank you very much, your tips helped a lot through that audition.
- Elyjah Wilbur, California

Chad, Your site is sincerely an actress like mine's dream! Thanks to your advice, I landed my first commercial a week after taking your tips for resumes and headshots!! It was amazing! I just filmed in NYC this weekend. I live for this site!
- Kimberly McDowell

Hi Chad, I just wanted to quickly let you know that what you are doing for all those actors out in the world is just fantastic. It is very admirable. Thanks again.
- Kailtyn Cox, Sydney, Australia

I enjoy reading your newsletters and share them with my students.
- Lani Brockman
Artistic Director, Studio East

Hi Chad, I love receiving the actor tips in my email. As an asst. director of a small community theater your tips are most welcome. We are starting a theater workshop so now more than ever those wonderful tips will come in handy.
- Lisa Bondrew
Asst. Director, The Harlequin Players

I just wanted you to know that I loved this issue and actually all of the information you provide. The information has been such a GREAT help to me.
- Marjorie Miller

Hey Chad! I have been receiving your email for the past year now. Since then I have been accepted into a four-year theatre program. I would just like to thank you for all the tips and advice along the way. I look forward to checking my email from you. ActorTips was very helpful to me because I am like those many emails I have read: "I want to be an actress, where do I begin?" So, I want to be an actress and I have begun. Just wanted to send a hello to let you know how beneficial your emails are, and make sure they continue.
- Ellie Gerber

By the way, as a relatively new actor, I find your newsletter invaluable and extremely helpful! Thanks for your wonderful site, wonderful information and clearly your dedication in providing your expertise to others. Actually, my daughter found you while looking for a monologue for an audition. However, since, in general, I don't allow her to give her email out, she ends up giving mine. So, I get all your emails and forward them to her. We both love them.
- Carin Chea

I just wanted to let you know that your newsletter makes a real difference in my life. It's a little reminder each time I check my inbox. Each tip your offer helps me grasp what is expected of me in the field and makes me feel like I have an advantage over other aspiring actors...and I do. Thank you so much for your generous support. I appreciate it so much.
- Holly Rankin, Sydney, Australia

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for your series by Ruth Kulerman.  I've been reading ActorTips for a couple of years and have always enjoyed it.  Ruth's series was applicable not only to the professional actors but to many of us amateurs and teachers of amateurs.  I direct Children's Theater and high school theater, and have gained much from your ActorTips and Ms Kulerman's series.  She was so kind to respond directly by email to several of my questions and I sensed a professional attitude with a good dose of humility (not a common trait anymore!) Keep the great tips coming!
- Ana Clark, Dallas, TX

Just a quick note to say thanks to you and to Ruth Kulerman for providing the fabulous acting & career tips (I'm inspired to write this based on the recent email re: bad manners, you see!). It's a really good reference to see how I'm going with my own career, what I can do to boost exposure etc and a way to stay in touch with the industry as a whole. So thank you for helping to keep so many of us on track. Cheers!
- Brenda McKinty, Australia

I absolutely love the newsletter about not being able to say no to professional acting. It is SO true! I've always been thinking that, but the way that it was said in this letter was perfect. I've been passing those words of advice on because I really connected to them. Thank you so much! - Amber

My Name is Nicole DeRosa. I have been subscribed to your newsletter for a little over a year now, and I want to quickly express my gratitude for all of your helpful articles - they are wonderful.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the free tips. I am pursuing an acting career and your tips are invaluable. Sincerely, Fanci S. Gentry

Chad, Thank you for the tips and the information for my headshots and all.  Your site is sincerely an actress like me's dream! Thanks to your advice, I landed my first commerical a week after taking your tips for resumes and headshots!! It was amazing! I just filmed in NYC this weekend. A store like yours could only do well in an area like Boston out here.  There is such untapped talent out there and people are always on the look for people like this. Thank you so much for writing and I hope this helps. I live for this site! - Kimberly McDowell

Hello Mr Gracia, I received my copy of "Becoming a Successful Actor" and, as was
said in The Producers, "Read it?  I DEVOURED it!" Thank you for the multitude of good advice.  Even though I am in Milwaukee and much of the references to New York would be difficult or impossible to apply here, the book as a whole is very helpful. Thank you again,
- Carol

Mr. Gracia, I just recently purchased your book, "Becomming A Successful Actor" and I love it. It really covers all the things I have yet to learn in a four year college. Don't get me wrong, I love my acting classes but they don't cover how to get work, headshots etc. So for that I thank you. - Mike Schminke

Dear Mr. Gracia, My name is Rebecca Grimes, I am 16 and live in Ireland. I've finished high school this weeek and really wanted to go on to do acting in college. Well today i had an audition for one of the colleges in the city so i had to have two monologues prepared. I knew one that i would do, Willy Russell's "Educating Rita", but was completely clueless as to my second piece, which had to be in contrast to the others. It was during the week that I discovered your website and im now citing you as my saving grace! I chose "lost labours loved" and was preparing it all week, well my work certainly paid off as i got accepted to the college! They said they were extremely impressed with such an adventorous choice of monologue and that I was very brave for choosing a verse piece! I couldnt believe it when they offered me the place on the course, there and then! I'd just like to say thank you, because without your website,god only knows what might have happened today! Im so happy that I am getting the chance to go on and do this in college. I had an audition a couple of weeks back for a different college but i was rejected, my monologue was disastrous! but it gave me a feel of what an audition is like and what is expected of me, so I look on it as experience and undoubtedly, my first rejection of many! So now, thanks to you, I start drama college in the fall! Thank You So much, it sounds like a cliche, but you really have made a dream come true for me! Thanks again. - Rebecca Grimes

Hi, My name is James Louis, and I wanted to say thank you for taking an interest in emailing me with such valuable information. As you know I am an inspired actor/model and trying to break into the business and the tips that you giving me are helping me a lot. Thank you.
- James Louis

GREAT ARTICLE! This was like an answer from "The Big Guy" upstairs. It is stuff I already knew or felt on the inside, but didn't know I knew until you put it in words so eloqueintly. I've printed the article and it will be read over and over until it's as worn as a bow-legged cowboy. Bow-legged cowboys do get worn don't they? THANKS! - Ryan Flanders, Atlanta, GA

Chad, I am not sure how much you realize your tips are appreciated by the public. As I go to each audition, I have your little reminders in the back of my head. I truly wanted to thank you and let you know that there are people in the world who take your advice to heart.  Again, thank you. Sincerely, Alexandra

Dear Chad, All the way from Holland, I'd like to thank you very much for the stuff you sent.
I work with kids and it's always nice to get some extra inspiration. Kind regards, Nicky

Hello! My name is Shelia Weiss and I just wanted to thank you for the very first newsletter I have received when I signed up and this last one you have sent out. Although I have gotten valuable information out of most of your letters these have been the ones I have found to be extremely useful to me. The very first one said to go to any/all auditions. And just because of that I did/do and have gotten a part in 80% of what I have auditioned for. And in this last newsletter I found out I was doing everything wrong when it came to sending my headshot, resume and cover letter out. Thank you especially for that information. I have searched and read everything I could on this subject and still never found the information you just gave us. I just knew that they could tell I was new to this industry just by looking at the outside of my envelope and in turn they would just toss it. Now I feel like you have given us an edge and that now if I follow your advise that I may get past that stage now. Thank you, thank you!
- Shelia Weiss :)

Hello Mr. Gracia, My name is Cyrina Fiallo and I just wanted to thank you for this last e-mail you sent out. I am a theater major at Florida International University and am currently interning at The Late Show to increase my knowledge in television as well. My best friend thought for a long time that she should pursue acting and was ready to audition a few weeks ago at her school, but now she is not so sure anymore. I told her a lot of the same things you explained in your e-mail, but I am now going to send her your words as well because they are extremely informative and heartfelt in my opinion. I look forward to all of the e-mails you send out and I am especially grateful for this one. Thank you again, Cyrina Fiallo

Chad: Just a quick heads up...I teach high school drama. I love it! I work with the most diverse group of young men and women and each one is unique, yet we are a huge family. I appreciate your information and I share it enthusiastically with them. My dad was a sound engineer for CBS...Carol Burnett, Price is Right, Dinah Shore. etc, etc,...and I grew up in the professional world. I appreciate your frankness and honesty. It is refreshing. Working with these kids is a blast! There is definitely never a dull moment! Thanks for the excitement!
-Sandy Stones

Chad I truly appreciate you! The envelopes are great (as you know); but the advice you provide is such a positive service to our community, since everyone can't afford "class prices" as we struggle to make ends meet while pursuing the dream planted in our hearts to perform. I hope and pray that every aspiring actor can find some honest and reliable "outlet for personal expansion and growth" like yours. Sincerely, DeBorah Sharpe-Taylor

Dear Chad, Just wanted to say out of ALL the garbage sites out there, yours is NOT one of them and you offer actors like myself valuable tips of the trade"without" being so.. philosophical. I like the tips and more importantly, the advice and information you give to actors, it's very valuable and makes all the sense in the world. I look forward to reading your e-mails I get sent automatically. Just thought I'd let you know! Eddie Sicoli

I know that you probably wont read this but just in case. I am a highschool student madly in love with acting (i am in an audition only school called Booker T. Washington in Dallas) I thought i had been good, but being in an art magnet school with TONS of talented people it's hard to stand out. Just so you know, your 5 things they never teach in drama class really helped me on my monologue and your personal stories really gave me the confidence, I GOT THE LEAD in our UIL show!!! Thanks and good luck, Lauryn

Let me say for the record I enjoy your newsletters tremendously. and I am further impressed that you would take the time to communicate with me. It is good to know that you are not some marketer just trying to sell a product. I think the envelopes are great and will make the adjustments. Herb

Hello Chad, I just wanted to thank you for all the advice you have on your Actortips newsletter.Keep up the great work. All the best, Tom Giles

First time I read an ariticle by Ruth Kulerman and I had to write and say WORD!!  Alot of actors waste time focusing on irrelevant issues when the only important issue at hand is to (as the cable-guy would say) "Get'er done". With your dream in mind all is happiness. Ciao, Blessings

Hi Chad: Thanks for emailing me back!  I am a huuuuge supporter of your services and products.  I'm very happy you don't just sell a product.  You offer a service, full-fledged.
Always Reading, :0) Gem Silver

Chad, I just wanted to thank you for this fantastic service....I really look forward to all my tips and appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Kathy - Actress, Melbourne Australia

Hi Chad, Mr. Gracia is probably more appropriate, but since email is an informal medium, and I've been receiving your weekly newsletter Actor Tips for the past year, It feels as if I know you, and therefore acceptable. Please excuse the assumption. This is just a quick note of thanks for your tips, suggestions, templates and articles by Ms. Kulerman. In a business where scams abound, and integrity is difficult to find, you truly shine as an advocate for the people. I recently moved from LA to NYC, and plan to use your ideas and products in my quest for theatrical work in NY. Thanks again for your significant contributions, Adam
 
Hi Chad. Every week I am reading your newsletters, and I want you to know how appreciative I am to have something constructive and supportive to read as I sift through the anxiety-producing casting notices!  I am constantly printing them out and taping them to my shelves as reminders and mottos.  They help me breathe. :) Your tips are great, and once in a while it is amazingly reassuring to have someone (besides my soothing boyfriend) spit them back out at me like a martial arts teacher. HIYA! So I just wanted to say thanks. :) Sincerely, Jeanette Bonner

I just signed up, like, three days ago, and already I've got a bunch of stuff that can help me. I appreciate it. Thanks a million. Akia Sembly
