Chelsey Donn: 00:02:19

You know, I'm feeling a little postnasal Adelaide.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:24

Alright.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:26

Let me tell you bit about Marc Tumminelli.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:29

Marc is the founder of Broadway Workshop, New York's top training program for young artists.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:02:35

say

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:35

Yeah, I would too.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:36

In fact, I just did.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:38

Marc is also considered one of the top acting coaches in New York with over 60 of

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:51

Marc also serves as an onset acting coach for Walt Disney pictures.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:55

Excuse me.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:55

What?

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:56

Additionally, Marc has become one of the go tos to adapt musicals for their licensable

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:19

my God.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:03:19

...Oh I love 'Goodest Boy, Max.' That's very sweet.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:03:22

Well, Trey, you know, I love you and Chelsey, I feel like we're old friends,

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:27

I feel the same way.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:03:29

I listen to you guys every week.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:03:30

It's so great to be here!

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:32

Marc Tumminelli.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:33

We are so excited to have you here today.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:35

I mean, I didn't know that you adapted musicals for the shorter, like school versions.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:41

That's so cool.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:42

So does that mean like when I was at camp and I was doing Guys and Dolls,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:03:49

yes.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:03:50

In short!

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:51

my How cool is that?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:03:53

basically I just look at the show and be like, this song sucks we and get rid it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:58

I always just love when they're doing like Rent for kids or something, you know?

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:02

Like what do we

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:03

do?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:04:03

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:04:03

I haven't worked on, well, that one I didn't do, but, um,

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:06

I know.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:04:06

They two things out of it.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:04:08

They

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:09

Oh my goodness.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:04:10

They don't get bronchitis instead of HIV.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:13

Right, right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:04:15

the high school versions are very tame, but these middle school, junior,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:04:25

They're just like these kind of fun, easy to put together hour long

Marc Tumminelli: 00:04:31

one of my favorite things I get to do.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:04:33

So thanks for bringing it up.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:35

I've had the privilege of seeing many of the presentations that Marc has worked on

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:40

Oh yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:41

the requirements vary.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:43

Sometimes there'll be trimming songs here and there.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:46

And sometimes it's actually like doing a lot of script doctoring.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:50

Right?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:04:51

Yeah, I do a lot of rewriting.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:04:52

It depends.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:04:53

What the project is sometimes it's just very easy cuts, spamalot was the world's

Marc Tumminelli: 00:04:59

So you can just cut a full vignette or rewrite a slight joke.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:05:03

But you know, other shows like We Will Rock You get really tricky to cut.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:05:07

Curtains the musical was the hardest one I've ever done.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:05:09

Cause

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:10

Wow.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:05:10

like a murder going on.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:05:12

So as soon as you get rid of a character, the whole thing falls apart, but

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:18

That's amazing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:18

Can you share a little bit about your company Broadway Workshop?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:05:22

Yeah, I founded Broadway Workshop in, um, 2007, right before

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:30

time.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:05:31

and we, uh, it was a great time to start a small business and actually it was

Marc Tumminelli: 00:05:37

because no one was expecting anything

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:39

Yes.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:05:40

but, uh, basically we do classes, workshops, camps, and productions

Marc Tumminelli: 00:05:46

But since COVID, we have moved to everything virtually.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:05:49

So not only are we doing classes and things in the studio, we also offer tons of zoom workshops with

Marc Tumminelli: 00:05:59

And it just gives kids with an elevated interest in the performing arts, an opportunity

Marc Tumminelli: 00:06:06

Where we can kick your butt a little bit, get you to the next level.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:06:10

But we also remember that this is your after-school activity, and there are kids that

Marc Tumminelli: 00:06:22

And so it's about finding this perfect balance between those two things.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:06:25

I think we have really found that with, the kids that are attracted to Broadway Workshop and I'm

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:37

Oh, my God.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:37

That's amazing.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:39

When you're first starting, like how do you feel like you started to grow an audience

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:45

Cause that's such a like ambitious thing to do,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:06:48

well, honestly, that is the work that never stops because every year I have

Marc Tumminelli: 00:06:56

So I'm never, it's not like, oh, we've developed this product and we could just keep doing it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:01

right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:01

are constantly having to engage new kids.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:04

And when I started, it was all word of mouth and it continues really to be, but one parent

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:14

do probably workshop instead.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:15

that is how it really grows.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:18

and then, you know, it's like some Facebook and Instagram Marketing and that continues to be the

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:31

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:32

And it's not ever money because I can certainly produce things cheaper.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:36

I can get teachers who might have a lower rate,

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:39

Sure.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:39

But aren't as good.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:40

and so everything is always a bit about creating the best possible product and

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:47

And I think that is what you all are doing over at Review That Review, because I

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:54

Thank

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:54

you.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:55

beautifully marketed and your episodes are so good.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:57

you're just building the thing.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:07:58

You're just pushing the wheel up the hill every week, a little more and more so

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:03

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:03

I mean, I think thank you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:05

You're so sweet to turn, like, what was basically like a kvell about you into a compliment

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:12

And I

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:12

think I oh, but I think you're talking about like the passion of it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:17

Like that's, what's so exciting.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:19

Like obviously you're very passionate with helping these kids and I think

Marc Tumminelli: 00:08:26

for

Marc Tumminelli: 00:08:26

sure.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:27

mentioned the power of the word of mouth,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:08:30

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:31

is what we are so obsessed with over here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:34

Personally, Marc, how impacted are you in your decision-making by online reviews?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:08:40

my God.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:08:40

I am a Review!

Marc Tumminelli: 00:08:42

reader.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:08:43

If I am buying anything over the price of $50,

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:47

Yes.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:08:48

reading like 10 different reviews.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:08:50

I'm a researcher.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:08:51

It took me like two months to buy a mattress I needed to read every review.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:08:56

I needed to go sit on every, but I can't trust Raymour and Flanigan because a

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:00

Exactly.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:09:01

example.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:09:02

Like

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:02

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:09:03

it fresh out the box.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:05

yeah,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:09:05

yeah, I'm a Review!

Marc Tumminelli: 00:09:06

person for bigger purchases.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:09:08

I

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:09

uh, so gray.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:10

uh, listeners will remember that our Splash at the Boathouse Review!

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:14

was actually curated by Marc Tumminelli.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:17

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:17

That that's right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:19

I love that Review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:20

That was such a good review because it was the perfect example of how these lower

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:25

reviews can't!'.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:27

Well, yeah, but also yeah, as that, but also like how, not every one star review that's really

Marc Tumminelli: 00:09:38

well, you got to look at many reviews because you have to

Marc Tumminelli: 00:09:43

So it's like, I do a lot of restaurants.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:09:45

I will say.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:09:46

I look at a lot of restaurant reviews.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:48

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:49

Do you ever like, worry about that?

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:51

Like being in the public eye, like, like, oh, people can just write a review about me like that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:55

Do you ever think about it?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:09:56

do.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:09:57

I do think about it quite a bit.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:09:59

So if I'm having like about with a parent about something

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:03

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:03

refund or something that I know, and I'm a very ethical person.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:07

So if I, if I do say so myself, but if I'm like, no, you're not getting, you just didn't show up

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:15

I'm not refunding you.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:16

Like

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:16

Right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:17

that space to another,

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:18

Okay.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:18

but it's sometimes it's like, true.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:20

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:21

It's like sometimes easier just to be like, I don't want to deal with you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:25

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:26

you to go to and write a negative review.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:28

Just easier to like, just let's walk away from this, which kind of sucks for the parents who

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:35

And sometimes the same thing it's like, I miss the classes are mistake.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:38

Let's figure out what we can do here.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:40

Right, right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:41

I will say that sometimes it just makes the most sense.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:44

I've worked in customer service, for very big ticketing company.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:49

you know, I dealt with a lot of people calling and screaming and it's just like, how do we

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:57

Right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:10:57

and you get so much more and we all know this.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:11:00

If like, you're really nice to somebody versus like cursing somebody out.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:11:03

I've been, been on the wrong side of that a few

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:06

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:06

I'm sure we all have.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:11:08

Marc Tumminelli: 00:11:18

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:58

How about calling and saying, I saw that you wrote the serve you, I wanted to like, you know,

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:06

Maybe you would have taken it down.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:12:07

I would have hundred percent taken it

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:09

Exactly.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:10

I mean, that's the whole point full circle.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:12

You win more flies with honey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:16

It's just, it's awful.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:17

I don't understand who came up with the actual lengths for which power cords standard

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:23

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:23

I was going to say like, do you think that there's like a focus group where

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:29

I know with apple, you can buy a, um, they have to, they do have a longer

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:35

I know ridiculous.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:38

just, I'm lodging a complaint against power cords that are

Marc Tumminelli: 00:13:45

you thought matter how long it would be would never be long enough.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:50

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:50

I have actually thought about that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:51

I mean, that's very true to life, right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:54

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:54

What a metaphor.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:55

Adding it to the ledger.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:03

Totally agree.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:03

I personally just wish that all power cords were like retractable,

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:10

Like

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:11

on iron irons

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:12

I want it as long as exactly.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:14

I want to, as long as I want it when I want it that long, you know what I mean?

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:18

And then if I just want it short, I can make it short.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:21

Like I would pay more for the product.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:23

Why is it not, I don't know.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:14:25

Trey just said he wouldn't pay $10 extra for the long cord.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:29

I have as the problem,

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:31

you pay for retractable though?

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:32

A retractable cord.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:34

I mean, who wouldn't

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:35

pay for that?

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:37

Alright Marc, what about you?

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:38

Is there something you would like to complain

Marc Tumminelli: 00:14:40

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:14:40

I want to complain about the company Quip and their toothbrushes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:45

Oh no.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:47

Are they bad?

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:48

Tell me

Marc Tumminelli: 00:14:49

I'm very obsessed with teeth.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:14:51

So the Quip company is actually fabulous.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:14:53

I, I just, switched to equip this year.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:57

Okay.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:14:58

And within like a couple of weeks, like it wouldn't do the full three-minute

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:04

Okay.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:05

the battery.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:06

Same thing was happening.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:07

I emailed them, they responded immediately and they

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:09

Great.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:10

something wrong here.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:11

We'll send you a fresh one new one coming in the mail.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:14

I'm like, oh, that's so nice.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:14

They're like, just throw out your old one and like, whatever.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:17

So I throw out the old one, got the new one it's happening again.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:21

no.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:22

now here's, there's two things.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:23

I brushed my teeth more than a normal person.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:26

I

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:26

You're really putting this to the test,

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:29

the full test.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:30

a battery life.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:30

So it's fine.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:31

I can change my own battery.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:32

The problem is it is so hard to get

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:35

Um,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:37

out of the

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:37

you have a tail.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:39

that

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:39

like,

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:40

clap

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:40

Oh,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:41

cannot separate these two things.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:43

And now I'm only sitting there thinking what is going to happen when I'm older, when

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:48

oh yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:49

there's no way these are the things that I think about all day

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:52

Oh God.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:53

able to do this in my seventies, late seventies,

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:55

I can barely Do it now.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:58

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:15:59

So my issue with Quip is like, there needs to come a better way.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:16:01

Maybe you can turn it to the left and something needs to happen, but you can not get, the other

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:09

She has to order online or

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:10

what?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:16:12

Well, when you

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:12

months.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:16:13

comes with a toothpaste it comes with the floss.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:16:16

I don't want their toothpaste

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:17

Oh,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:16:18

own toothpaste.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:16:19

I just want extra heads because I'm going to change it

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:22

oh, that's ridiculous.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:24

This is like all sounding very wasteful to me.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:26

You know, throw the old toothbrush.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:16:29

months, it's just, got to say, I think I'm looking at some regular old back to

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:35

I going to say, go back to the Sonicare man.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:38

I

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:38

have the Sonicare.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:40

like it's great.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:41

I know it's a lot.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:43

Me too.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:43

I

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:44

hate that part.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:45

So good

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:46

Wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:47

Quip, but that it is exceedingly difficult to pull it apart.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:50

I've.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:16:51

But I do love the product.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:16:52

It's very good.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:16:53

And the customer service is excellent.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:16:54

So lodging, a complaint

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:56

Yeah,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:16:57

easier to remove.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:58

they should really listen to this and change these things about their products.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:01

Cause it seems like they're doing a lot, right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:17:04

Please tag them in the show

Marc Tumminelli: 00:17:05

notes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:06

sure.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:09

I just want to talk a little bit, cause I feel like this was a big topic back in the

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:20

Like if I'm reading like a New York times article or something, and then all of a sudden

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:28

Like just stop it, I can't stand it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:31

It's really annoying.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:32

Or the popups that like move with you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:35

So you're trying to like do some sort of like, I don't know, online Jenga

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:44

What is this?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:17:46

particularly bad.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:17:47

If you're a theater lover and you check out playbill.com, is the worst pop-up situation.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:17:52

New York times is pretty bad

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:53

A'..

Marc Tumminelli: 00:17:54

it's a it's rough stuff.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:56

It's like, yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:57

Get out of here.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:59

And then sometimes there's like a hidden ex you got to find the fucking hidden necks.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:18:03

or the X is there and you hit it and it takes you to the

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:05

Oh yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:07

Well, cause you didn't hit the X, right?

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:09

You hit the X a little bit to the right of the X and now you're at an ad landing page.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:13

It's ridiculous.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:18:15

feel your Chelsey.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:16

Thank

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:16

you.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:17

feel you too.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:17

That, that is like a thing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:19

It's like a constant aggravator as you're just trying to seek knowledge

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:23

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:24

Just trying to read an article, learn some things, you know?

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:28

we go.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:28

So, Marc, since you coach for youth.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:32

Today, brought it in a Review!

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:34

that we're really gonna need your expertise on.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:36

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:37

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:38

have one star Yelp review for...

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:42

I'm nervous to say the company name.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:46

I'm going to just say the company.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:47

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:47

So I have a one-star Yelp review for Barbizon youth acting and modeling

Marc Tumminelli: 00:18:54

great.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:55

California, that I feel really needs to be inspected.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:01

So how it works here is I'm going to read the review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:04

We're going to break it down together.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:06

all three of us will rate the impact on a scale from one to five crowns.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:09

And this is a very Regal process that we like to call.

VOICEOVER: 00:19:12

Assess that Kvetch!

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:14

And it's your turn Marc to embody your Review Queen ness and help us crown trays.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:19

Our view.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:19

Are you ready for the challenge

Marc Tumminelli: 00:19:21

am ready.

VOICEOVER: 00:19:24

Review That Review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:28

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:28

So today I have a one-star review from Dolores L

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:34

Delores L.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:35

from Yelp.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:36

This is for Barbizon acting and modeling.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:40

And here we go.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:42

Honestly, I was really excited and interested in this, but just wait.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:49

Me and my mom got approached by an older guy in Walmart telling us that

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:56

He said that it was a short line I had to say, and that it was going to be at the Marriott hotel.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:02

He gave us an invitation that seemed legit.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:05

The next day I went there and about 25 kids there.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:10

We all went up and said our line.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:13

After that we walked down the stage went to this table.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:17

And all they said was, if we like you, we will call you within the week.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:23

About a week later, they gave us a address to a acting school.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:28

We went there and waited a long time.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:31

The girl came finally late about an hour and called us in and said, sorry, her grandpa died.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:37

And she lost track of time.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:39

Really all a con.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:42

She told me to stand in the corner, T H E E and say my line, I did,

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:50

I was really nervous and still asleep.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:54

Oh!

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:55

I forgot.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:56

There was another kid there waiting as well.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:58

I noticed her from the audition.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:00

Not to be mean, but she was not good at all.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:05

She looked down the whole time and whispered her line and wouldn't stop shaking her leg.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:11

They said that they only picked three out of everyone that was there.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:16

Ummm...

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:17

pretty weird.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:19

Anyways I was really bad in the audition in the corner and she smiled really big.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:24

It kind of scared me and clapped and said, "amazing!"

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:28

She told us the whole procedure then told us the cost $3,000 for the whole six months.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:35

My mom was willing to do whatever made me happy.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:39

The girl told me I can pay now.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:41

Or in six months I was going to do the six months thing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:44

I told my friend about it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:46

She told me they came up to her about four years ago in a mall and told

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:53

They auditioned and everything.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:55

They both made it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:57

Their cost was $10,000 for both of them.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:00

Their mom did it for them.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:02

They went through with everything.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:05

Then on the last part, the final audition with a bunch of agents in the front row.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:10

They both did it and a bunch of agents went up to her sister telling her that she was amazing told

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:20

They never called her, and her mom wasted $10,000 for nothing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:27

think God for my friend, because luckily my mom didn't waste her money too.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:33

All caps.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:34

This is just a huge money hungry scam.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:38

Don't go here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:39

Please.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:40

And it's also weird that for all the reviews, I've read all the money prices is different.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:50

Delores Delores, Delores.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:53

How old do we think Dolores is?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:22:56

I think she's like 14, maybe 13.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:59

I think Dolores has an early teen, sorry.

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:01

I had a hard time reading that because it really is like, there's maybe five periods in this.

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:07

It's all run on sentences with no capitalizations, but I, something about my

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:18

And she's like, everyone be careful.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:21

Yeah

Marc Tumminelli: 00:23:22

is looking out for Dolores.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:24

guys.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:25

I mean, I know it's not the most important thing about the serve you, but I just feel like Dolores

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:39

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:39

I mean, I know it's at the, well, so call her Dolores for the sake of this

Marc Tumminelli: 00:23:50

Well, this is something I tell the parents about all the time.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:23:53

This is like a very real scam that happens with lot of different companies like this.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:23:57

And John Robert Powers, there used to be something called the star network and they're all.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:03

Basically scams, where they go up to people in malls, they go out to people at targets.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:07

They say, you want to be an actor?

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:09

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:09

this open Disney call where they say Disney call they'll post it.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:13

You can go to their websites.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:14

And then it's always at a hotel.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:16

my God.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:17

it's, shady.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:18

it's so shady.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:19

And normally it's jeez, Dolores, our friend saying there's only 25 kids.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:24

There it's normally like hundred kids there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:26

I was going to say I was shocked that it was so little,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:28

Um, it was probably a bad day at Barbara's on.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:30

So um, they, they give the kids like a commercial to read.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:36

And then a lot of times what they do is they give them a sticker that says

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:42

That like you've made it past round one.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:44

they, they make it feel like the whole time you're auditioning until they sit you down

Marc Tumminelli: 00:24:58

And it only costs $1,100.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:00

right, right, right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:02

Wow.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:25:03

the, do you know the famous bait and switch of, you know,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:25:09

If they bought the thousand dollar package,

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:11

So they're eliminating people presumably, right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:14

Or like,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:25:15

I don't think they're, they're not eliminating anyone.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:18

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:19

I think they're telling that to add the pressure,

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:22

okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:23

three people

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:24

Oh, got it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:25

But they're really saying that to everybody.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:27

Ugh.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:29

That's so gross.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:31

Poor Dolores,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:25:32

they want to hear their kid's a star they want,

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:36

right?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:25:37

thinks their kid is gorgeous and talented and has

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:39

Sure.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:39

Of course.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:25:40

and then there are kids who actually do have talent in something special and

Marc Tumminelli: 00:25:51

They are getting in

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:52

Well,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:25:53

of these people,

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:54

yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:25:55

what cost.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:25:56

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:56

Well, I was wondering about that because when they talked about the

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:08

do think

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:09

and the things that I

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:10

Or like assistance or something?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:12

And yeah, there assistance there,

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:13

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:14

and the chances are, even if someone's really talented,

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:21

Right,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:22

a call.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:22

We used to do an industry, showcase a free showcase every year and

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:27

we'd have like 300 kids audition.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:29

We'd put 40 showcase kids in the showcase and it was completely free to be in it.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:34

They didn't have

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:34

right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:36

Um, and we were doing that so that we could meet new kids.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:38

We'd have like

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:39

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:40

new kids we met.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:41

But out of those 40 that we thought were really Marcetable, maybe 15 got callbacks.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:48

Right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:48

you know what I mean?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:49

It's like, even if you have it and you're great, doesn't mean that an agent is looking

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:56

Right,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:57

it's, or they really just want really tiny kids.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:26:59

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:27:00

like that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:01

it's interesting to me because I have a very close friend

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:08

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:09

on.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:10

they actually do teach, it is all inside of this huge financial commitment that's required.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:19

But because Dolores is presumably young, I mean,

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:24

they were the one that was scouted.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:26

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:27

perspective here because we have our own personal opinions of what

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:33

But from Dolores, his point of view and this Review!

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:37

we think that the information is valuable?

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:41

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:43

Very.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:27:43

think about it.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:27:44

If your parent, is the other thing, why it's so great that we have and this

Marc Tumminelli: 00:27:55

Is this a real thing.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:27:57

I always tell parents who probably works out cause we have a lot of kids come from all

Marc Tumminelli: 00:28:03

And the last day I do this whole thing about you're ever asked to pay

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:10

Red flag.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:28:11

good to be true, it is too good

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:12

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:28:13

And if you have a question, email me and I will let you know.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:28:16

So

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:16

Right,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:28:17

get emails randomly, like, Hey, I got stopped to do this thing.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:28:20

I'm like, yeah, this is just a community theater.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:22

right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:29:12

Elliot Gould was on the commercials.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:15

Oh my God.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:29:16

as international commercial, put it on the Patreon

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:18

Oh yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:19

I just think it's so sad.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:21

There's something, you know, obviously there are acting programs that are out there that

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:33

then a parents.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:35

And then a parent's love for the child

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:38

just feels so

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:39

gross to me.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:41

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:29:41

think she's very good.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:29:43

And she knows she's like, I am suck.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:29:46

I just was along for the

Marc Tumminelli: 00:29:48

ride.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:49

I wanted to talk to you about that So like, do you think that it's possible

Marc Tumminelli: 00:29:58

I think it's like a kid who just doing it for fun.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:01

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:02

oh, it was really bad.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:04

Like they do the school play and they're like, well, my God, it was so embarrassing.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:07

It was like so bad.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:08

I was great.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:09

be good.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:10

I feel like sometimes the kids that are like, oh my God, I'm so bad end up being

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:17

And the kids that like really care and like really want to be great are really trying.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:22

They just look not natural and good, but if you're like onstage and like,

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:28

This is dumb.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:29

Maybe that actually looks real.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:31

So I wonder if Dolores is being a little bit harsh on herself here.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:36

Well, like as much as they say they want like real kids, they don't, they want

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:40

Okay.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:41

that look real and are not annoying, but are good actors,

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:46

Right, right,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:47

gritty, real kids.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:48

I'm like, yeah, but you need them to present.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:50

Well,

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:51

right, right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:52

kids.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:53

So

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:53

True.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:54

seems to me like salt of the earth.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:56

She's a real kid.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:30:57

sure she's working at a

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:59

For sure.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:00

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:00

it reminds me of how Audrey Hepburn famously said that every single day

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:06

But I

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:07

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:08

That's not what's happening here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:10

that's one line of dialogue that they had to act was.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:13

Oh my God.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:31:15

it would probably is like, my stomach always hurts.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:31:18

But now with your children's Tylenol, my stomach feels great.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:31:21

It's like, it's always, it's always problem and a solution.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:25

Right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:31:26

a worst lunch, but now with new Lunchables, lunch is

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:29

Oh my God.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:31:30

It's like, someone's always bad at something.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:31:33

And then they get real good at it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:35

That's

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:35

hilarious.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:37

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:37

Dr.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:37

Dolores.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:38

atrocious.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:39

I

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:39

Awful.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:40

their mom's iPhone, typing it in, like, this is insane.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:44

This girl, like she's really bad not to be mean.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:46

Yes,

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:47

I do think that Delores is being truthful

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:51

do tail.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:52

Marc was alluding to doesn't sound like Dolores has a lot, a lot in the game here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:57

I think Dolores was like, this could be fun for Saturday like, oh, but I'm like a bad actor.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:02

Right, right, right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:03

this is bad this is a lot of money.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:06

So for that reason, it sounds to me like Delores is being very truthful.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:11

I do think Dolores has.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:13

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:14

I think we could try.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:15

I just wonder, like, if we're writing this as an assay, why the first point of con was

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:26

that was

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:26

like

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:27

a weird part.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:28

right

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:29

thing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:30

AF okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:31

It says, came finally late about an hour and called us in and said, sorry, her grandpa died.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:36

And she lost track of time.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:38

Really?

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:38

All a con,

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:40

all con so like why, like, why like, is that the first piece of evidence?

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:45

Like there's so many other

Marc Tumminelli: 00:32:47

she doesn't believe that she was late because her grandfather died.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:32:50

She thought she was

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:50

that

Marc Tumminelli: 00:32:51

some other BS.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:52

that's

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:52

the con that's

Marc Tumminelli: 00:32:54

with a Starbucks.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:55

right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:57

like, I don't

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:57

believe your grandfather died.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:59

mourning a grandpa looks like.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:01

know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:02

I just thought that

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:03

was So funny.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:04

humor on the Review!.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:05

How do we feel?

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:07

I think it's incidentally humorous.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:08

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:09

Anecdotal

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:10

again.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:11

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:12

So ultimately before we go into crowning, what do you think?

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:15

Like, would you find this to be a deal breaker for you?

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:18

Like if you were a parent?

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:21

Yeah, I would

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:23

why I love that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:23

Dolores is like not an angry mom.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:27

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:28

Love.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:29

it's like, this is a scam.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:31

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:31

I mean, when I heard the name Delores and one SAR, I just assumed that this was going to be a

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:37

And I love that it was from the kid's perspective.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:40

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:41

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:42

So I think I'm ready to cry now.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:43

How do

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:44

I'm ready to crown.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:33:45

Yeah, sure.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:46

Alright.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:46

on a scale from one to five crowns, we will simultaneously reveal

VOICEOVER: 00:33:54

Queens are Tabulating.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:08

whoa.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:10

wow.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:11

That's first

Marc Tumminelli: 00:34:14

I w

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:14

queen.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:34:16

I want to honor Dolores because maybe she

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:18

Yeah, I think so, too.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:34:21

on Review That Review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:22

I want to see Dolores.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:23

I want to see if she is really bad.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:24

Cause I have a feeling she's not

Marc Tumminelli: 00:34:26

What if I like found Delores and made her a star

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:29

think should

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:30

make Delores a start.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:32

She's like,

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:32

' Marc Tumminelli: And now I'm in

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:35

Literally.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:37

said four crowns because ultimately I feel like Delores really led from a protective heart

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:44

Yes,

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:45

while they didn't really do any auto, correct,

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:49

didn't do any grammar.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:51

a huge punch to Delores as Review!.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:54

yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:55

to take the one crown off because, uh, it, needs she needs

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:02

But, um, that's why I said four because I would not want to take any of my loved ones here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:06

What about you Chelsey?

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:07

Why did you say four.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:09

I really love Dolores.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:10

I mean, when I was a kid, I was like a chubby kid.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:13

So I was never the one that was approached by any of these people.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:15

And I was always like a little bit jealous.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:18

I wanted to be approached in the mall or the Walmart and I wasn't.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:22

And I feel like Dolores really took me through that whole process.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:25

Like I could now write a lifetime movie about the process of being

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:32

And I think it's a real cautionary tale.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:34

I love the fact that it's, from the kid's perspective, I think any parent reading this would

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:41

I took off the crown for, you know, spelling and grammar and the fact that she called

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:48

So other than that, I thought that Delores was a real queen.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:52

And for crowns to Dolores,

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:54

what about you, Marc?

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:55

Why did you say four?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:35:56

I feel like any kid who's taking pen to paper or in this

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:59

yes,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:36:00

to iPhone, you know, deserves a little something special

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:04

agree.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:36:05

kids are not, I think kids should review

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:07

I agree.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:09

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:10

Amazing.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:11

Let's take a quick break.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:12

And when we return, Marc has agreed to share a view that he himself has received.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:18

Wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:19

Ooh, I can't wait for that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:21

All right, we'll right, back.

VOICEOVER: 00:36:25

Hold your crown.

VOICEOVER: 00:36:26

we'll be right back.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:51

All right, we are back.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:53

And now it's time to get a little more personal Marc.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:55

We asked you to bring a personal review in with you today.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:58

That was either a harsh critic or an MVR, most valuable reviewer.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:04

Basically a negative or a positive review, so we will together.

VOICEOVER: 00:37:10

Assess That Kvetch!

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:12

And then just like before Marc, we will ask you to share with

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:18

So, Marc, what Review!

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:20

did you bring in for us today?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:37:22

So I picked a review from Alison Brooks Admunson, who is a,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:37:32

And then she also sent her daughter to New York to do multiple camps with us.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:37:38

and it just was a nice review and it was the first thing that popped out it's from August 25th, 2020.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:37:44

And as I mentioned, I don't have negative reviews, but it's not because people don't like me.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:37:49

Wait, it's not because people don't hate me.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:37:51

Plenty of people hate me, but, um, they just haven't taken to the internet with it yet.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:58

I hope that this is not an invitation.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:01

it's not.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:38:01

write nasty reviews about

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:03

Don't do it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:03

Don't you dare.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:04

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:04

So Chelsey is going to read it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:06

I'm so excited.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:07

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:08

I will read this Facebook.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:09

Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:10

from Alison Brooks, Adamson for Broadway Workshop.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:15

I cannot say enough good things about Broadway Workshop!

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:18

For one, Marc Tumminelli is a legend.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:21

He is so down to earth and makes the kids feel like they have known him forever.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:26

He understands that many students come to workshop full of anxiety.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:29

His warm and friendly personality puts them at ease immediately.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:33

He is such an encourager.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:35

Marc's guest teachers are also amazing.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:39

In six years of attending Broadway Workshop camps, not once, have we ever

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:46

From Camp Kentucky to NYC workshops, he brings the best of Broadway wherever he goes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:54

Aw,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:38:55

so sweet.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:38:55

Isn't

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:56

that's so nice.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:59

I love that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:00

I just think there's so many great things in the serve you that if I were like a parent or

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:08

that would make me feel better.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:09

Like I love the Alison address, the anxiety, because, you know, especially when I was a

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:26

Yeah, I actually it's.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:27

interesting in contrast with Dolores is Review!

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:31

because I felt that there was so much unknown with Dolores and what

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:38

here is that the experience is very positive.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:41

It's very encouraging.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:43

And the whole idea of anxiety.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:45

I feel like any there's.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:47

I mean, there's so much anxiety that becomes around performance, getting in front of

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:53

And Alison really speaks to how Broadway Workshop cultivates a, an

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:00

I love this Review!

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:01

I think it's very valuable.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:02

I also believe Alison, it seems like they are very invested in the product,

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:07

Yes.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:40:08

It's very sweet.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:40:09

Cause our, our program in Kentucky is meat going to Kentucky with like four other.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:40:14

You know, teaching artists and doing a week long intensive, and you know, it's kids

Marc Tumminelli: 00:40:20

So it's a very different It's a very different way of the way the workshops work.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:40:26

It's all very different.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:40:27

And so for a kid to, and it's very elevated for what they might be getting locally, even though

Marc Tumminelli: 00:40:35

Um, and it feels like they're nervous because they're going to do a theater camp

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:41

Of course.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:40:42

I believe they have been with us from our very first year there.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:40:45

So they were trying a new thing and here we were coming in and every year I brought different, you

Marc Tumminelli: 00:40:53

And it was really fun.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:40:54

And then some of those kids kind of banded together and were like, we're going to go to New

Marc Tumminelli: 00:41:01

Like, you know, obviously different families have different situations that allow them

Marc Tumminelli: 00:41:06

But for a lot of these kids, like, that'll be, it they'll do probably workshop and 99.9% of them

Marc Tumminelli: 00:41:15

And we just have this little week together as five days together.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:41:18

And that is, it's a really special thing to be part of, uh, some artistic excellence a young

Marc Tumminelli: 00:41:29

it's as exciting to me as the kids that decide that they want to move

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:34

I love

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:34

that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:35

There's so many things that she says that I think are helpful for a parent that are deciding

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:43

I love the fact that they've returned for six years.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:46

That makes me feel like they're really genuine.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:48

Like really makes me trust.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:50

Alison BA.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:51

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:51

That's a really great point.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:52

I think like the repetition of, the relationship here speaks volumes, honestly,

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:58

And that light before doing six years.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:00

And they've never been disappointed in the quality of the staff, then that's

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:06

For sure.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:07

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:07

I love that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:08

The only thing, like the only sort of I have here, maybe for Alison is like,

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:12

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:13

I'm not having a lot of humor in the

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:15

No, I'm not like bowled over.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:17

I'm

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:17

not laughing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:18

me is when, when we're talking about someone's children,

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:22

It's not funny.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:23

know it's not like,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:42:24

it's not

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:24

No,

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:25

thing.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:42:25

in unclear of what sheet music was,

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:28

exactly,

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:29

exactly.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:42:30

of funny Review!.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:32

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:32

that's

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:33

as a Review because I don't even know if it's a

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:39

applicable.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:40

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:42

I don't know if it comes into play here.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:42:44

I'm just looking at other reviews and none of them are funny.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:47

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:47

I don't think they need to be.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:49

Another thing that I liked about Alison BA was I know that we've talked about you working

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:59

And so I think that that would be interesting to me if I was from somewhere outside of New York

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:10

for sure.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:10

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:11

anything else you want to add to this before we crown

Marc Tumminelli: 00:43:13

No, it's so weird to be like, I'm amazing.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:43:16

Do you guys listen to this amazing Review!

Marc Tumminelli: 00:43:18

I would have loved

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:19

Well,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:43:20

a really negative review and told you this backstory, but

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:22

right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:43:23

have that sadly.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:43:24

Well, no, I'm glad I don't have that, but no, it's really nice.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:43:28

It's really, this is like for anyone listening, that things you love and especially the small

Marc Tumminelli: 00:43:37

I just wrote a five-star Google review because it's like the best

Marc Tumminelli: 00:43:42

And I'm so worried they're going to close, but that's like the thing, if you find

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:45

Yeah.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:43:45

a small business that you know, who owns it, know, it's not the cheesecake

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:52

Right, right, right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:43:54

businesses really rely on someone saying, or like a mom and pop or hotel,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:44:03

Go to Yelp, go to whatever their Facebook and see some positive things.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:44:08

So if anything, I could say they Review!

Marc Tumminelli: 00:44:10

means a lot to me, like all, all of the reviews you, because I own my own little business and

Marc Tumminelli: 00:44:18

And I try to pay that back wherever I can, with small businesses that,

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:25

really is a perfect example of the power that we possess as consumers.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:44:30

And we have a lot of what we'll call cheater brands that have

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:42

Wow.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:44:43

when I started probably workshop, there was like me and one other program, it was

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:47

Right,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:44:48

thing did not exist that everyone had an acting school.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:44:51

So, you know, I encourage parents to look at a legacy of a program.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:44:55

this been around two years?

Marc Tumminelli: 00:44:56

Has it been around 15

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:57

right,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:44:58

has this program made.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:45:01

Do you know, stars has this program made students great college students.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:05

right, right, right.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:45:06

been a place where kids could feel safe and just have their weekend activity

Marc Tumminelli: 00:45:19

You know,

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:19

Yeah,

Marc Tumminelli: 00:45:20

like mine where it's like that person does not have anything to do with this.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:24

right, I mean, I liked that you brought that up Marc, because your,

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:30

Obviously the, or your page rather

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:31

is, is a great URL, but we trust Alison BA because immediately after she says

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:43

And now automatically I know that there's a human being behind this organization.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:45:49

That's probably why I like it so much.

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:50

Well, I also

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:51

Yeah,

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:52

that, it isn't like, it doesn't sound ego because it

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:55

no,

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:55

to Minnelli school of drama,

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:00

like there's something

Marc Tumminelli: 00:46:00

Should I start that

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:02

think you should.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:03

Why not?

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:04

At this point you've earned it, but I can.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:46:07

crown at.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:07

Let's do it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:19

Love it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:20

I did four and a half crowns.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:21

I love this.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:22

Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:22

from Alison BA it takes a little bit of extra special sauce to make a full

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:31

I think it would be a little bit more of a detail about Allison's kid and like what it

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:46

But other than that real perfection, how about you, Trey?

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:50

What'd you think?

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:51

I had a similar thought I'm just sort of removing humor completely

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:57

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:57

don't find that I feel this way often, but I would love a dash more

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:07

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:08

taking.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:47:10

yeah, it's a nice general.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:47:11

Review!

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:11

definitely get the positive sense of the impact for six years, which is huge.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:17

So that's why I said four and a half.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:18

It's so close to

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:20

They never get boring to me.

Marc Tumminelli: 00:51:26
