"Cody really knows the business and utilizes this knowledge to push his clients and students to be BETTER than the best they can be. Cody knows that it is one thing to be a fantastic actor in the Sacramento market, but he goes several steps further to ensure that each of his students can be the best in the LA market as well. I have grown so much as an actor through Cody's coaching that I truly believe that the moment I decide to hit the LA market, I will be ready to tackle any challenge that comes my way."
"I've said it before and I'll say it again, thanks Cody for believing in me from the start. Your confidence in me gave me the courage to keep going instead of giving up when things weren't looking too hot. Studio 24 is still my favorite for a place to learn to act and feel creative."
