“David taught me to overcome my fear of failure which opened me up to a whole new world of possibilities.” - Kari Finn
“I love your very loving, nonjudgmental, and uber encouraging teaching style. Your workshops gave me the nudge I needed to move forward.” - Lisa Akroush
“‘Lose that which no longer serves you,’ and ‘Be the Santa of Now Town.’ I remember leaving your class thinking, ‘I want to worship at the church of Dave Razowsky’!!! Spending anytime with Razowsky, be it in a class, workshop or drop-in, will have a profound impact on the way you see & understand improv. You will definitely have those ‘Ah Hah’ moments.” - Michael Morales
“Dave’s teaching has given me a sense of fearlessness, not only in improvising, but one that reaches, remarkably, into my life’s biggest picture. Invaluable.” - Nikki Turner
“David empowers you to relish the life you create onstage. I will employ the work from the workshop in not just improv, but in dramatic acting, writing, and even music. The classes not only speak to you as a performer, but as a person. The philosophy of David’s method of improvisation can really help you adjust yourself as an individual, not just a performer.” - Robert Slack
“David’s teaching is truly transformative. His approach is thoughtful, while his technique compels you to find the truth in every moment, and express it without fear of failure.” - Anonymous
“I didn’t think David would change how I see the world, but he did. I am now more aware of the present and how I feel.” - Anonymous
