"Because of Risa Bramon Garcia, I've worked with Oliver Stone, booked four Series Regular roles, and done theater in New York... and I am an LA based actor. With her there are no limits. She will bring out talents and confidence you didn't even know you had. Do you want to work? Study with Risa. She will change you as an actor.”

"The work is working. The timing of this Masterclass could not have been better. Something has shifted. My auditions are getting great feedback and I’ve been invited into rooms for projects I’m excited by. It’s not just how my work is being received, it’s how I feel doing the work – my work has more of me in it. Thank you for the space that is created in class. I’m cultivating a combo of renewed autonomy and joy."

"David gives you the license to make bold choices in your work. He creates a safe environment to play, make mistakes, and figure out what works for you in any given scene. He has years of practical experience working on sets and is keenly aware of the specific needs of actors. He is a powerful artist who also happens to be incredibly sensitive and kind — basically, everything I could ask for in a teacher."

"Risa was able to make me, an agent-less, essentially credit-less actor at the time, ask the question — Why not me? She recognized the artist in me, brought it out, and helped me never to be intimidated by external circumstances that have nothing to do with what we do as artists."

"David DeSantos is a deeply soulful, incredibly generous actor and artist. His enormous heart and deep compassion for other artists allows him to hold a space that inspires bigger risk taking and a deeper commitment to my own work. Anyone lucky enough to work with him will experience the same!"
