“The first thing that struck me about Kimberly is her incredibly open and approachable personality. She eliminates fear. Within her classroom she creates an atmosphere of collaboration and free-spirited energy. It is an environment of judgment-free discovery. Kimberly provides actors with personally handcrafted Power Tools designed to mold the character and sculpt the scene. I worked with Kimberly before shooting the film "Call of the Wild" and she really helped me discover my character.”

“Kimberly understands each individual actor. She is solid in discovering each of us, so that our work is tailored in our own personal direction. Some teachers teach a general 'way of acting' - Kimberly absorbs what will propel each of us to that next level. And then she helps us zero in on those issues and conquer them. She also has a knack for developing characters from the ground up. That way, we're not just delivering some solid lines, but delving into how that character thinks and feels as a person...as a single entity. Also, the class exercises really helped me to shed some of my insecurities and just commit to what I'm thinking and feeling. As an actor, you've got to radiate what the character feels and believes. Kimberly teaches this.”

Since I began studying with Kimberly I have grown so much in my work! I have used her techniques in the audition room and on set, and have had great success. She has taught me to let go of fear and to really own the characters that I am creating. And... she's pretty cool too."

"Kimberly is like this secret weapon in the never-ending quest to book gigs. She combines this amazing plethora of tools and techniques with such openness and honesty; all of which have taken my callback and booking ratio way up. Like quadrupled it! I should probably have t-shirts made that read, 'skip the voice-over classes, and discover what really books.' But then I’d be giving away my secret, huh?”

"When I was seeking an acting coach here in LA, I knew from the very first conversation I had with Kimberly that I was in for a life-changing experience. It's hard to say just one thing that I have taken from studying with her. When it comes to acting, I have gained the understanding of what it takes to act from an honest place and truly embody a character. I've learned how to set my ego aside and be vulnerable in ways that I was never able. It has been a joy experiencing that acting is about the art and the work it takes in creating that art. On a personal level, from Kimberly and the many guests she has brought to class, I have had the opportunity to develop my own soul which to me, is more important than anything. It's great to have a teacher that not only is passionate about the art of acting, but also in seeing people develop as human beings."

"Where can you try, experiment, fall down and get back up again? Kimberly Jentzen can guide you through the appropriate journey you need to take. I took a rather long sabbatical and Kimberly was able to help me shake off the dust, get rid of the rust and focus on my viability as an acting commodity as I had been unable to do on my own. I now have the confidence and the ability to get out there on a daily basis and ply my craft."
