"Chad is someone who knows everything you want to know... and don't want to know about the career your child fantasizes about." - April Custodio, model and actress
"I attended the Georgia State Thespian Conference and attended Chad's workshop with my students. For parents, Chad offers peace of mind while waking your kids to the reality of the always difficult and sometimes rewarding career in theater. And he is as subtle as a gun.
"My kids went from saying they wanted to be "stars" to saying they wanted to be "working actors." For that, I will be eternally grateful.
"What impressed me most about his workshop is his openess to talk to their parents. There is no other workshop like this out there. Even in the short hour that we spent with him, my kids took away tools that helped many of them land scholarships.
"This workshop is invaluable." - Terry James, teacher
"My child took Mr. Darnell's workshop at the Georgia State Thespian Conference when he was in high school. I was very skeptical about my son leaving Georgia for "Hollywood," but Russell felt very confident and Mr. Darnell was very willing to email and talk with my husband over several weeks to help put our fears to rest.
My son is now a working actor in Los Angeles and has been living there for nearly six years. I'm grateful he decided to take a class that day." - Melody Brown, mother
"I've been acting in Los Angeles for nearly ten years and those first few years I worked exclusively as a background actress on shows Chad cast. Learning by observing. Chad is someone who takes a vested interest in the success of his friends and co-workers. He wants the best for you. I can't recommend him highly enough." - Leigh Daniels, actress
