  • Needs editing and fleshing out. Not worth $40.

    By J Kent on

    I paid for a class, not a brief overview and then watching in silence as the guy moves stuff around. Also dude needs to learn microphone etiquette. He’s constantly smacking his lips, making noises with his saliva and clearing his throat. It’s disgusting at times.

    2 stars because he does give a few good tips but the rest feels rushed, unprepared and needed oversight.
