"I've had the pleasure of working with Erin and her knowledge as well as encouragement has been invaluable. She is caring, insightful and whenever I do a scene, or drill with/in front of her, I don't feel any pressure to be funny or to do well, just to be me. I appreciate that in a teacher because on occasion it feels like you have to constantly prove yourself in this world, and with Erin, the only compulsion I have is to try to get better and to have fun." - Matthew Rascher
"Erin is a great coach. While working with her I’ve noticed that she is very detail oriented. Nothing, not even the most insignificant move of the hand, is lost to her. This attention to detail means that she gives notes and feedback that really illuminates where you are as an improvisor and where you can improve. She knows when to push you forward to get better and when to pull back so you have the freedom to explore." - Peter Thai
