~Ryan Smith
"Joe was an absolutely phenomenal teacher. He is well versed in Chekhov and his lessons were incredibly well constructed and really helped me to grasp the new concepts he was teaching. He was an excellent instructor for both new and experienced actors, and set his workshops at a pace that benefitted all experience levels. I truly feel his lessons have helped me to grow as an actor and I am very grateful for all that he taught me. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
~Chris Markcity
"I have been working with Joe Herrera on the set of "A Christian Carol". This was my first leading role and I was quite apprehensive about the whole process. From the very first lesson, Joe put me at ease. He used fun, creative ways to show me how I could develop my character for each scene. I was able to create a range of emotions just by using simple acting tools. I also had the privilege of acting along side him in several scenes. I would definitely recommend Joe Herrera and the Michael Chekhov Studio Orlando to anyone who is wanting acting lessons."
~Brenda Heim Roesel
"One of the things I really enjoyed about the workshops were the exercises, the engagement that I had with the other partners and other class members, and just the way that Joe prepared himself and us for the class. Everything was fresh, it was new...we learned how to work as if we were theatre students as well as for film and TV. Joe is a fun teacher! He will make sure you have a great time! I highly recommend that you take his class...He is skilled at what he does!"
~Jared Wofford
"Best acting instructor ever! My skills have improved exponentially! Previous instructors have been harsh and critical. Joe and the Michael Chekhov technique has been nothing but supportive and validating. With Joe Herrera as your teacher, nothing you do is wrong. However, he encourages you to to continually explore your instrument. That's where the growth is. I highly recommend Joe Herrera for anyone wanting to take their acting skills to the next level and beyond." ~Adrian Gonzalez
"My experience with the process was good... I appreciated that he was very passionate and knowledgeable about his process. Also that you can contact him if you have a question even after the course is over."
~Brandy Grant
"From the first class I was on my feet doing the work outlined and demonstrated by Joe. Joe's ability to explain and side coach you through the Inspired Action is Amazing!! During each class I felt a major break through and a better understanding of myself and my craft. After each class I simply floated home with the feeling of great joy! This work stands up to your Craft of Acting on its own and if you layer it with some other tools you have in your actor tool box, you are on your way! I'm forever grateful for Joe and his sincere teachings of the Michael Chekhov Method so much so that I seek his coaching for my current and future roles.
