“I think of Walker as our own personal Tony Robbins. He understands what Riley needs in order to realize his fullest potential, and he conveys his teachings in a way that motivates and inspires. For that, I am truly grateful. When Riley decided he wanted to be an actor, a friend a told me about Walker. Upon meeting him, I quickly realized I had no idea how much there was to learn. Walker was able to gauge Riley’s needs as an actor and as a person. Once he honed in on what it was Riley really wanted, he began teaching him the steps necessary to achieve his goals. I would recommend Walker as not only the best in terms of a teacher of acting, but equally, and maybe more importantly, as a teacher of life skills. He’s taught Riley things about communication, goal-setting, and strategy, while modeling a strong work ethic and a strong commitment to his passion. Riley leaves Walker’s studio each week inspired and counting down the days until he can return. Regardless of where life takes Riley, I know that the time he’s spent working with Walker will have been instrumental in his success.”

“Walker has successfully helped Benjamin prepare for several auditions. He has encouraged him to work to his full potential and has taught him that if he does the best job he can, the results will come and this has proven to be true. I have seen Benjamin grow tremendously as an actor since he has started working with Walker. He has definitely helped Benjamin transition from relying on the “cute young kid” factor to a competent serious actor capable of performing a variety of roles. Benjamin loves working with Walker and learning from him. Also, it is obvious that Walker really takes a vested interest in what Benjamin does. This is something very special.”
Amy Shaffer (Parent of Benjamin)
“Walker has been an incredible blessing to both our family as well as all the kids he teaches. Walker Clark has been an invaluable addition to the San Diego area both artistically as well as emotionally, always encouraging and uplifting others. Walker truly has a passion for teaching and making the craft of musical theater an awesome experience for both the actor and audience. It has been wonderful watching his passion and teaching inspire the kids to be great.”
Amber Ki (Mother of Amber and Christian)
“Walker has opened up Sydney as a person and has encouraged her to be confident about her talent. In the short time that she has been working with Walker, we have seen an improvement in her acting and voice skills. She is not the same girl Walker met 6 months ago. She has grown to be proud and confident of her skills. We know that what she is learning from his classes will not only benefit her as an aspiring actress but will translate to all parts of her life.”
Wyomi Yonzon Yockey (Parent of Sydney)
“Issabela and Issadora have had a few acting coaches and Walker is one of the best ones they’ve had. He’s a very talented and gifted actor & acting coach and his passion for it shines through on stage and when teaching his students. Walker brings out the best in his students and allows each and everyone he works with to shine. The best thing about Walker is how much he connects with the kids. He has become one of my daughters’ best friends.”
Machelle Tulalian (Parent of Issadora and Issabela)
“My daughters have been working with Walker for a few months now and he is fabulous with the kids and what we love most about Walker is that he truly has a passion for teaching the kids. It shows through in his work and the wonderful progress that they have been able to make as young actors.”
Thank you Walker!’

Students Testimonials
“Walker Clark has an impressive ability to find truth in all the work of his actors from the campiest of characters to the most serious. His intuitive yet intellectual approach leaves little room for the actor to fool anyone. He teaches his actors to be honest and to trust their instrument, allowing the beautiful life of the story to unfold. This rare quality is found not only in his work as a teacher but also as an actor. He doesn’t argue nor does he apologize, but rather sets an amazing example within his own work creating quite a path to follow.”

“I really Love working with Walker! Walker Clark Studios is a wonderful program for anyone wanting to learn the Art of Acting. Walker taught me to believe that acting is never lying but telling the truth in imaginary circumstances. It’s fun to work with a group of students who I can really respond to. I like reacting to what they give me. In class your acting becomes real. Your character becomes real. Thanks Walker. I really Love working with Walker!”
Austyn Meyers (Broadway: Les Miserables Christmas Carol North Coast Rep)
“Walker Clark is one of those wonderful, captivating actors who infuses the character and is so believable that you can’t take your eyes off of him. And his hard work ethic, deep sense of self, and encouraging way make him a brilliant teacher. Anyone who studies with him will have a better craft as a result!”
Dee Ann Newkirk (Broadway: A Month in the Country & The Crucible)
“Walker has taught me to be ‘real’ in what I do. I have learned to act a scene as the character but still be myself.”
Sydney Yockey (King and I Welk, Cinderella Patio Playhouse)

Issadora Tulalian (8 yrs old‘Grinch Old Globe, King and I Asian Tour)

“I love taking classes with Walker. No matter what you are working on whether it is a song, scene, or even improv, Walker always manages to find the truth in it. And we still have Bunches of fun in class–It’s a great environment!”
Alexis Young (Sleepy Hollow, A Christmas Carol)
“Walker’s class has been such an amazing experience. This class has allowed me to reach levels of acting and understanding that I never thought were possible. In class we do exercises that allow us to express ourselves through acting and our class has become like a family. I have also gained deeper connection with myself and with my peers. I have enjoyed every moment in this class I hope to continue doing so. Walker has been such a great influence and he has gotten me excited to pursue a career in acting.”
Amanda Rowe (A Chorus Line)
“Working with Walker has helped to expand my abilities as an actress. The unconditional guidance and constant push he gives, not only to me but to all of his students, has supported me in achieving my personal goals in acting. Furthermore, Walker has expanded my boundaries as an actress, giving me the power to “feel” in an imaginary circumstance, which has led to the expansion of my personal opinions of the world. It would not be an exaggeration to say that those given the chance to work with Walker Clark are truly privileged.”
Lindsey Steinert (A Chorus Line)
“My experience with Walker Clark has been an original one. I have never taken an acting class that gives such emphasis on how to be real when playing a character. To be able to work with Walker is an amazing experience and I am glad to have found him.”
Mackenzie Ward (A Chorus Line)
“Walker has helped me on several occasions. Walker really helps me bring out the truth into a song or scene as opposed to it being fake and non-realistic which makes it way more enjoyable for the audience or panel to watch. Walker also has really improved my straight acting as well as musical theatre. Walker has taught me how to take any script given and make it “real” or natural. I feel more capable to take any song or scene and make it truthful. I have been working with Walker for about five months. Since then, I feel way more confident reading sides at auditions or singing a song I am not familiar with at auditions.”
Benjamin Shaffer (11 yrs. old‘Nine, Grinch)
