  I have taken several on camera commercial classes and Valencia has been the best! Her approach is direct and honest in a supportive atmosphere. For the first time ever, I actually liked what I saw on camera. Valencia knows exactly what to say to bring out a natural and authentic performance, so you can be your best in an audition experience. The variety of copy she brings to class challenges you to stretch yourself in different directions from pharmaceuticals with a lot of dialogue to eating on camera with no dialogue and just reaction shots. If you are seriously interested in doing commercials, then take Valencia' class because it is the most valuable thing you can do for your career. I plan on taking it again to refine my skills even more.

  As a non-actor looking to break in to commercials, Ms.Yearwood's passion for her art and her compassion for uplifting my limited skills while making me comfortable made this class a beginners dream. At the same time her unique approach to performing commercial work made the veterans in the class move to the next level. As a by product, I became a much better actor by observing their abilities improve as she pointed out cogent points of improvement. Valencia's professional demeanor and insights were apparent at all times. This attitude prevails when she taught us the critical "business" information we all needed to make our ventures successful. The added plus of having a commercial agent visit and critique our final work is a rare gift which reflects positively upon how Valencia Yearwood is considered in the business. This class is designed to take you from wherever you are and bring you to the next level in the field of commercial acting.

 "Thanks Valencia for making a difference in how I see myself and giving me the confidence to perform and just be myself in front of the camera. Thank u thank u Thank u!"
- Cherelle Cargill


After taking Valencia's on camera intensive I feel so much more confident going into auditions. The class was intimate so there was good on camera time for everyone. Having the opportunity to see what the prospective client sees and being professionally guided to making the better choice is invaluable.  Valencia showed us so many of the "tricks of the trade" that you may eventually get after making "mistakes" at the audition.  I knew I was in the right place after seeing her impressive reel as well; she is not just talking the talk she is walking the walk. I believe it won't be long before I book the concurrently running national spots I'm envisioning. Thanks V!
