WHAT IS MASTERCLASS?

Last April, Cynthia Littleton published an article on Variety about David Rogier, the founder of MasterClass.com: “A lot of it was thinking about how do you bring the joy back to learning, Rogier says. “If you talk to most people about did they like school, the answer is ‘No.’ If you ask people if they like learning, the answer is, ‘Of course.’”

The first celebrities to come on board in 2015 were those named in the clue — Dustin Hoffman, Serena Williams and author James Patterson. They were highly successful in three different fields with top honors to show for it. Since then, the list has grown to include eight additional fields and many well-known names. It ain’t free but what aspiring voice actor wouldn’t want to get a voice acting lesson from Nancy Cartwright? Or how about guitar lessons from Carlos Santana? It doesn’t look like they have a free trial or offer of a free class over there on MasterClass, but they do have a a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
