Calvin is an extraordinary educator and coach. He immediately transformed the way I approached my craft. Thanks to his guidance, I was accepted into nearly all 25 programs I applied to and ultimately committed to Carnegie Mellon’s Musical Theatre Program. I would recommend Calvin wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, supportive, and inspiring coach.
