Great West Canadian Talent

Im unhappy with the recent claims perpetrated against Bill Davidson by Delilah.The day in dispute as detalied by Delilah are fabricated and unjust as I was in attendance.This is a tactic of deflection on her part. Delilah can't follow simple direction.During rehearsal she made the same mistake 5 times within 3 minutes.Bill cautioned her to pay attention. He did not yell or swear or display any unprofessional behavior.My experience with Bill has been very positive and professional. I've recently registered for Level 2 to continue working with Bill

As a First responder in the Capital region, Great West Canadian talent offers one of the most professional courses I've attended.There has been personal attacks made against our teacher. Which are unwarranted and have no basis reality. The person who has viciously attacked our instructor on this platform was quite a unstable individual. I don't promote the defamation/hate speech that has been directed toward him.Things I observed though was a resolute stance on COVID safety in a learning environment. A healthy work ethic is required to complete the challenging material given to students. The expectation for professionalism was expected day one.I would encourage anyone interested in the acting field to pursue this course. Only if your willing to observe attendance, come to class prepared and follow direction. Can't wait for level 2 offered by Great West Canadian Talent, Cheers.Tyler Stauffer

I have been with Great West Canadian Talent now for a year and I have taken 3 courses. Initially it was for personal development, but they havve opened me up to possibilities that were not there before. Bill is an instructor that gives strong instruction and always gives an honest evaluation of your performance, no fluff. He has knowledge and experience in the industry that I appreciate. His expectations are that you give 100% and are receptive to direction. Bill has helped me push myself beyond what I thought I was capable of.

I have known Bill Davidson for 24 years. He was my first acting coach and have to say the best! I have sent many people to him that were very pleased with his classes and coaching for auditions...Including some kids in my family. He is just as amazing at coaching kids as well as adults.He has been my agent and coach for every role I have booked in the past and is also a extremely talented actor himself.I have taken a break from acting for some time, but I know when I can start up again Bill is the person I will be calling! Thanks Bill!

No comment.

When I started looking for an agent it was important for me to find a person that would believe in and fight for me. Bill has done exactly that. With his support I have accomplished some amazing achievements in acting. Bill exceeded my expectation as an agent by genuinely caring about me as a person. The amount of time Bill has put into my success is incalculable. Thank you Bill.

I don't know who Delilah is but everything written on her review is false. it saddens me to read such false accusations. Bill is an incredible agent and highly professional. When I started acting, acting was harder than I thought. The more I learnt at classes with Bill the more I felt ready to do auditions and prepare. Bill has given me opportunities that are a dream come true. I have had the opportunity to Audition for well known Netflix and Ubisoft to name a few thanks to Bill.Acting requires dedication and will. You try and you try and don't give up. A role won't come to your doorstep, you have to put the work into landing the role.If Bill represents you it's because he sees the potential in you to be an actor.

When I joined Great West Talent, I enrolled in the acting classes and because Bill really made an effort to film scenes the way they are done on a set it prepared me for the real thing. I especially appreciated Bill’s ability to break down scenes and ask questions that helped us the actors to understand the scene and build characters.I have now been an ACTRA member for over 20 years and have an extensive resume in both TV and Film projects.”

I am attending the same class that Delilah was in, however I attended them weekly and she missed many classes. I have never seen or heard Bill raise his voice at anyone. He truly cares about the people in his class, and is simply trying to give them direction and correct their mistakes as this is a tough industry to succeed in. Bill not only provides his students with many notes and material, he gives them time to learn and makes sure they fully understand whatever concept we are learning that day. I was in attendance the day Delilah is talking about, and not one thing she said was accurate. I enjoy and look forward to going to each and every single class, and have not had any problems. Bill has been nothing but helpful and professional and I have already learned so much from him. I registered for Level 2, and would recommend Bill to anyone who is interested in this industry.

I have been studying under Bill since July of 2019, and his classes have been immensely helpful and inexplicably brilliant. Bill is an expertise in both the industry and the craft. As an agent, he is an equal opportunist and will give you real industry exposure, and will always negotiate and fight for what’s best for your professional career. His knowledge extends far past others I have come along in this industry and what sets him apart is that what’s in his best interest is not based off money, but real progression in your career and his love of good acting. The same can be said of Bill as a teacher. Screen acting is quite different from theatre acting in that everything about it must be very carefully prepared. It’s a craft that requires a very experienced mentor in areas such as auditions (scripted and improvised,) slates, text work, acting within frame, planning your movement and eyelines, etc. Bill is that mentor and more. He will take your strong points and make them stronger, and through that, get you into auditions that require your strong points. He’ll challenge your weaker points by exposing you to types of roles that help you build your range as an actor, allowing you to accomplish things you never thought you could. This is great because you are free to make as many mistakes as you can, within the safety of a class room setting, and with the guidance of an industry professional. He really, truly cares about the craft and quality of the acting of his students, and the scripts he uses in his first course are excellent. His Text Work class specifically, works absolute wonders. Through that class I have seen actors who struggle to remember their lines and make basic choices, transform into engaging, interesting, professional actors who bring zest and can definitely compete in the market. It’s incredible what that class in particular can do, really, it's like magic! In my recent experience, I was able to do an audition for a CBS series opposite Kate Beckinsale. It was my first real taped audition, and to my great surprise, I was actually short listed. Without a doubt, I was able to come that close because of the audition and text work classes I had taken with Bill, and because Bill knew my strong points and knew what I could bring to that role in particular as an actor. There aren’t enough great things I could say about Bill’s teachings and the value of his classes, he is definitely a true hidden gem in this industry and one to be sought after, wether you want to pursue acting as just a hobby or really start a career. Thanks Bill!
