Thanks so much for including Houghton Talent as an industry guest for the Professional Actor’s Studio Showcase Friday night. It was a pleasure to attend, and of course, to finally meet you. What a great opportunity to not only see what some of our people can do but also to scout new talent. I know showcasing requires a great deal of preparation… kudos to you and your students, it really was “A Class Act.” you're clearly a dedicated, committed team.

Mystie Buice, Agency Director, Houghton Talent

Well, what can I say except that you’ll be very missed. Thank you so much for all of your kindness and inspiration. I had an exquisite and enlightening experience studying acting with you. I am so sad to see it end. You have always expressed yourself in a clear and concise manner with a touch that fuels creativity and uninhibited expression. I had audited many classes before selecting yours. The choice was not difficult. After running into 50 car salesmen trying to pull me into their class like I as a cheap suit, I was elated to meet someone who still enjoyed sharing a piece of themselves to help and inspire artists of all ages and backgrounds. Not sure what to do or where to go now, but hey, have a good time anyhow. I am not bitter. Best wishes in Atlanta!

As a casting associate in the industry, I am blown away by what Nick does with his students. I had the pleasure of attending a showcase he put on for the actors and it was easily the best showcase I’ve ever been to. You could see and feel the hard work they had put into their material. I laughed, I got sad, I got excited, and I had fun. You get out what you put in and boy this place is a honey pot! Thank you, Nick, for such an incredible experience! Actors sign up now!

I have known Nick professionally for over ten years as both an actor and a teacher. His talent, his commitment, his drive and his sense of professionalism are unsurpassed. He also possesses one of the most positive and upbeat attitudes I have ever observed. After I had known him a while, Nick asked me to be a guest speaker at at class he was teaching. I gladly obliged, not really expecting much, and was very pleasantly surprised at the level of talent that I found. Nick had done an amazing job, presenting me with a very impressive group of actors. I liked watching him work with the actors—with a strong hand, yet also with a true understanding of the process that each of them was going through. Most of all, however, I liked the final product. Nick is a natural teacher. I cannot recommend Nick more highly as a teacher or as an actor. I wish him luck in all of his endeavors.
