Real notes from the first cohort of Punching Up

A lot more empowered. I really like Michael’s blunt and unflinching style. I always believed if you know yourself and are of yourself you can set a tone that allows others to feel free - he definitely accomplished that.
Jen Ducharme
I had no benchmarks or idea what was good, bad, or ugly about writing jokes. Now I know. I also didn't realize that a joke can be replaceable in a script. That was an eye-opener!
Gale Kotlikova
I feel so much better! See, the Instagram posts enticed me into the free webinars - and those made me jump on buying and devouring "A Paper Orchestra," so I knew I was in the right place. A big thing the workshop did for me was support some theories I had regarding "honesty without being mean" in regards to telling fictionalized true stories. It totally settled my nerves on cutting things I might like but don't move the story forward and also made me feel good about focusing more on the heart than the comedy.
