‘Above everything, I learned to trust myself. Not only as an actor but as me. I will never forget that.’
‘I am very grateful for the time I spent with him. He has taught me to trust my instincts and to believe in myself as an actor and as a person. He showed me that everything is about choice and the final decision is something to be embraced and not afraid of.’
‘Excellent guy, excellent teacher.’
‘I have been a pupil of Rolf’s for almost a year, for both dialect and acting, and I am more than happy to recommend him both as a human being and a teacher. He’s been completely professional, fully prepared and ready to provide a productive learning experience. But more importantly, he’s just such a good guy, with such a wonderful sense of humor, and depth of experience, that I sometimes feel my progress has been as much by osmosis as anything else.’
‘Mr Saxon was my Drama tutor for 1 year and all I can say is he was the best! He was always happy and never gave anybody a bad time. Everything we did was always ‘great’. I learned a lot and I would be happy to have him again.’
‘Rolf brings a great imagination and creativity to every teaching moment, which creates a relaxed, safe but challenging atmosphere in which to push my craft.’
