Trish McAskill - Agent RGM Associates
Screenwise offers the best training for film and television acting that I have seen in this country. Denise brings together the cream of industry professionals to instruct the students in all facets of acting for screen. I cannot recommend her classes more highly.

From where I am today and the absolute dream ride I have had in my acting to this day, I most definately have you to thank for getting me on my feet and giving me the opportunities you have through Screenwise!! I actually think a lot about how I could have got to where I am now if I hadnt of met you or been involved in what you created! And ill tell u right now, If I am lucky enough to be able to take this all to a high level, then screenwise will be getting a plug every chance I get!! I owe so much......
Hope to catch up with u again soon

I just got a role on MTV's new show The Lair (that Darren is presenting) as a character presenter. I play a groupie who thinks she's down with what's going on in the music world but really know's nothing more than whose the best pash.
Also very close to securing that Telstra gig you suggested me for. Thanks for thinking of me. I've got one more call back, next Mon. (Have had 2 so far). And looking forward to starting on Home and Away late Feb.
Thanks Denise, Hope all is rocking at Screenwise!

Studying at Screenwise with casting directors, directors, agents and top actors who know what is expected from the industry and are currently working in it, provided me with an environment as close as possible to the real thing. So when i did have a audition or a TVC or a Film, I was prepared and ready to play. I don't know anywhere else in Australia where you can get that!

Maura Fay & Associates - Casting Consultants
Screenwise provides a high calibre of actors to Maura Fay Casting. The school has a plethora of talented directors and industry teachers who are up to the minute in being able to focus on what needs to be transported to the big and small screen. Their knowledge and understanding of the industry have successfully opened up an avenue for actors to understand the 'real' way to approach their craft. I congratulate Denise on her brilliant concept of aiming for the 'best' industry people to impart their valuable experience. You can't ask more of an acting school. The success of many of the graduates speaks for itself.

Dear Denise, I just had to send you an email to say thank you for investing time in me today. I enjoyed every second and have already started “loading up” for my character. Your direction and instruction was absolutely wonderful, I understood everything that you told me and took it all on board, I hope that the others were paying attention. Looking forward to next week and working on our monologues, Thank you once again Regards, Cheryl

Over 1000 films applied to this festival so it is quite an achievement. I spoke to her on the weekend and she is over-the-moon about it. Well done y'all for training and nurturing her talent so well! http://www.manhattanfilmfestival.org/Content/2010_Schedule.htm

Talk about learning from the best!
Hi Denise. First of all let me say the US dialect classes have been amazing. Our fifth and final week consists of delivering a monologue and I can't wait. I was amazed at how quickly, with a little help and guidance, you can transform your accent. I know this class may not be the favorite of everyone but I certainly found the challenge right up my alley. I have had some deep discussions with Katherine about specific US accents relative to certain cultural regions of the US, but more importantly refining the standard American accent has been invaluable. I know I will use my training in this area in the future. I practice my US dialect in my own time, and often catch myself reading in standard American. Also I saw Kristian Shmid's performance on PTTR. I had no idea what to expect my current teacher to pull out on the …
