Nelson's Workshops
"Working with Nelson, he has thought me incredible improv skills that range from character work to family friendly comedy. He has created an improv world that made it enjoyable for me, yet still a learning experience. I would take two classes of his that were the same, just because I know that I would walk away with a different experience and more knowledge than the latter. I recommend Nelson Velazquez as an Improv coach to all of my improvising peers, because I know they would all walk away better, regardless of their improv experience." - HB - Student
"Nelson is exactly what you would want from a coach: passionate, supportive, and honest. I feel like I have grown in my skills and more importantly in my confidence as a performer because of Nelson." - KW - The Tony Stanzas
