"In order to artistically challenge my community in Sarasota, I have monthly guest teachers at Florida Studio Theatre. We had the opportunity to have Jim Zarling teach and it was the perfect artistic boost my community needed. His silence and emotion workshop provided my students with new tools and he was able to reach them in a way that was not only challenging but also supportive and inspiring. They all walked away commenting on how it was the perfect complement to their skill set. Jim is extremely knowledgeable in improvisation and a master teacher. He is welcomed back to Sarasota any time." - Will Luera, Florida Studio Theater
"I am the owner of a small but growing comedy theater in CA. Jim taught and performed at our first improv festival. Jim had such a fun, casual, humorous way with students that he quickly established an environment where we could work with depth and trust. Jim has an uncanny way of giving very specific and “dead on” feedback. He can adjust a scene while also providing space for students to feel comfortable exploring and taking risks. Jim has years of experience and knowledge that he poured with enthusiasm and insight into his teaching. We feel all fired up and re-energized after the workshop. My students & performing gained so much from working with him. Plus, he’s just pretty fun to hang out with and he’s a great performer. I will definitely invite Jim back!" - Sabrina Pratt- Central Coast Comedy Theater
