Thanks again for the most intriguing hour of my scholastic career thus far."

"My favorite speaker was Clay Stafford."
-L. Mathis

"I learned a lot about life, and how to become happy and successful … 
His style of teaching made it more conducive to learning … 
for everything he said seemed to matter.  I wish to thank Clay for 
what probably was the most informative, most important class I 
have registered for at the University of Miami … 
Clay was the “perfect” instructor that every student dreams of getting."

-L. Donahue

"Clay Stafford was one of my favorite speakers."
-C. Campbell

"I learned above and beyond what I thought (he) intended

"My favorite session was
Clay Stafford's keynote address."
-T. Standard

"The most important thing that I got out of the class is to set 
myself on a goal and do anything and everything I have to do 
to get to that goal … he worked slowly, almost subtly, trying 
to get us to strive for those virtues that would help us succeed 
where so many others have failed before … I’m not sure if any 
of the other students in the class picked up on this ‘secret lesson’ 
or not."

-J. Koon

"Wonderful!  Thank you!"
-J. Carré

"I wish there were more classes (that) teach 
students how to plan their lives and to 
live a successful life."

an individual.  This course has given me the inspiration 
and the courage to uncover that hidden world within me."

-J. Arana

"Excellent and very inspiring."
-J. White

"CQM has been good, cheap therapy!  It has helped 
me to be honest with myself . . . to see who I am versus 
who I want to be!  At least now I feel better equipped 
to continue the quest!"
-D. Evatt

"Enjoyed it very much."
-C. Campbell

"The Creative Quiet Mind has been a method for me 
to reconnect with myself and the world around me.  
It is participatory requiring dedication and an open mind.

and a more compatible spirit.  Thank you for confirming 
so much of the way I think and feel."
-B. Donahue

much better than other drama teachers I’ve encountered.  
It exceeded my expectations."
-J. Stanfield

"My favorite speaker at the seminar:  Clay Stafford"
-C. Gross

"I have never been in front of the camera before, 
so it was very important for me to become more 
comfortable in front of the camera and I did.  I also 
learned a lot about the different genres of film and 
television.  I learned a lot about myself (my own blocks 
as a performer) and about camera techniques.  
The audition tape (How to Win Auditions) is very helpful.  
The seminar met my expectations perfectly."
-A. Holland

"Enjoyed every class.
They all had new information I will use in my writing."
-D. Hood

"Definitely exceeds expectations!"
-D. Evatt

"All very informative."
-C. Campbell

"Your workshop was absolutely phenomenal!  
I thoroughly enjoyed very hour, every minute, 
every second of listening and learning about this crazy 
business called acting.  Your experience and wealth of 
knowledge are truly inspirational.  I cannot find the 
words to describe all the information that 
I gathered from just two days."
-C. Rivers

"You have not only helped me sharpen my performing 
and auditioning skills, but also given me valuable information 
concerning the business and how to present myself 
in a professional way.  Needless to say, I am very 
anxious to work with you again."
-D. Amler

"It has stirred my thoughts as well as my emotions … 
I had forgotten to ask myself questions like where 
I was going and wanted to go, who I was, and who 
I was becoming … the last thing I thought was that 
scriptwriting could be so closely related to what makes up 
who we are and how we cope with ourselves, 
as well as our surroundings … what do you call it 
when you meet someone who was born to teach others?"
-P. Gonzalez
