"Scott and Kristine DeTurk have not only believed in me since
the moment they met me, but have pushed me to succeed. They have been there every step of the way in my acting career,
encouraging me to follow my dreams, no matter how tough
things got. These are two incredible mentors who have
opened up many doors for me and I owe them everything. I am so blessed to have the DeTurks in my life."
Jessica Koffler - Theater Student - Cal Poly Pomona
"Growing up, I was
shy until I took Academy DeTurk and stepped
outside my comfort zone. Not only
has Academy DeTurk made me
an accomplished public speaker and singer, but I
also gained
confidence, discipline, focus, and persistence."
Katie Boughman - Branson H.S. Student
"I have been with the
amazing Kristine and Scott for as long as
I can remember. They have pushed me
and more importantly
believed in me.
It is because of them that I graduated from
PCPA and currently living in
LA as a working actress."
Carissa Gatti
"Scott and Kristine
mix a seemingly endless amount of talent
with an unbelievable wealth of
professionalism. To top it off,
they deliver the aforementioned with true and
deep compassion
for all who work with them."
Jon Tracy - Bay Area
Writer/Director & Actor
"De Turk Academy brought
my child to life in a way nothing
ever had. The sense of belonging she has
gained by being
part of the De Turk Community has powerfully impacted how
she
perceives herself and the world she lives in. Furthermore,
her work with
Kristine & Scott has been her most meaningful
learning experience yet."
Mark & Polly Ely -
Parents of Anna Ely (Current Student)
"Academy DeTurk is a music and theatrical program for one
on one attention, significant growth, and an experience of a lifetime."
Kimberly Jensen - Professional Bay Area Actor
(ACT, Mountain Play, Theater By The Bay)
"Dear Kristine & Scott-
I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to write to say thank you for
your work with Olivia. I can't tell you what a difference you have made
in her life. I'll try tho- you've made all the difference in the world,
and I hope you feel good about it because I've seen so much growth in
her self confidence, and her self esteem. Her technique and artistry
have begun to develop where she had (of course, I'm her mom) tremendous
but raw talent. I don't say this often but you are one of about six people I have met that are truly doing something they were born to do..."
Jo Jewell - Mother of Olivia Salinger (Current Student)
