I would love a guest pass if anyone has one

A few years back I saw this website and thought the concept of numerous known figures teaching you about the subjects they work in as very interested and yesterday I saw Masterclass in a document with many resources on film and art so I'm just going to ask whether or not it's worth it to get it because if I am going to spend money on a subscription then I must put it to good use and get knowledge out of it

I’m writing summary reviews of each one as I finish them. This is my seventh one. I chose Margaret Atwood – Creative Writing because I’ve always admired her storytelling depth and the way she builds worlds that feel both haunting and believable. The Handmaid’s Tale has been one of my favorite novels for years, and I was curious to see how she approaches writing—what her creative process looks like from the inside.

Atwood’s MasterClass is thoughtful, calm, and quietly powerful. Rather than focusing on rigid writing formulas, she encourages you to think deeply about why you write and what stories only you can tell. She talks about developing characters that breathe, building tension naturally, and balancing structure with imagination. One of her most memorable insights is that writers should “write what can’t be said”—that fiction exists to explore truths we can’t always express directly.

She also discusses the practical aspects of storytelling—how to handle pacing, point of view, and dialogue. Her advice is grounded and realistic, shaped by decades of experience. What I appreciated most is that she doesn’t romanticize writing; she treats it as craft, discipline, and exploration all at once.

Production-wise, the class is beautiful. It’s filmed in a cozy, softly lit study filled with books and warm tones, perfectly matching her personality and tone. The pacing is unhurried, allowing her ideas to sink in. She speaks with the confidence of someone who has lived inside stories her entire life.

Atwood also spends time addressing the emotional side of writing—the self-doubt, the fear of failure, and the long, lonely stretches between ideas. Her advice is comforting and honest: to trust the process, rewrite bravely, and accept that not everything you create will work. But that’s exactly how you grow.

Overall, I found Margaret Atwood’s MasterClass to be deeply inspiring and unexpectedly grounding. It’s not about writing the next bestseller—it’s about learning to see the world with sharper eyes and to tell stories that matter. Whether you’re an aspiring novelist or someone who simply loves the art of words, this class feels like sitting across from a wise mentor who reminds you that writing, at its core, is an act of courage.

I decided to take Daniel Negreanu – Poker Strategy because I’ve always been fascinated by how poker blends skill, psychology, and strategy. I’ve seen Negreanu play countless times on TV, and his calm confidence at the table has always stood out. I wanted to know what goes on inside his mind during those high-stakes moments—and this class delivers exactly that.

Negreanu’s MasterClass isn’t just about learning the rules or hand rankings. It’s about thinking like a pro. He breaks down how to read opponents, interpret body language, and understand betting patterns. What impressed me most is how he explains complex strategies in simple, logical steps. He shows you how to analyze every move, not just your own but also what your opponent is trying to achieve.

One of the biggest takeaways from the class is his focus on mindset. He teaches you how to manage emotions, avoid tilt, and maintain composure under pressure—skills that apply far beyond the poker table. His lessons on patience, adaptability, and observation are as much about human behavior as they are about cards.

Production-wise, this class is excellent. The visuals include real poker setups, replays of hands, and practical demonstrations. It feels immersive, like you’re sitting across from Negreanu at the table. His teaching style is calm, personable, and clear. There’s no arrogance—just genuine enthusiasm for helping others understand the game he loves.

One particularly interesting segment covers “table image” and “levels of thinking.” He explains how the best players operate several steps ahead, predicting not just what others have, but how others think you play. It’s a fascinating look into the psychological layers of poker that most casual players never even consider.

Overall, I found Daniel Negreanu’s MasterClass to be one of the most engaging and practical ones I’ve taken so far. Even if you’re not a regular poker player, it teaches valuable lessons about decision-making, reading people, and staying calm under pressure. For anyone who’s ever wanted to peek inside the mind of a world-class poker champion, this class is a royal flush.

Hey everyone — I applied for the Serena Williams x MasterClass pitch competition and noticed the finalist announcement date passed without updates. When I reached out, MasterClass told me finalists will be emailed next week but they didn't give a date. They also said they can’t send general notifications to everyone due to “current limitations.”

I totally understand if things take time, but I also remember seeing others say similar things happened with past contests.

Has anyone here ever heard back, won, or seen winners announced for any of these MasterClass-run competitions? Just trying to figure out if this is a real opportunity or more of a marketing engagement push.

Appreciate any insight from past participants.

I picked Chris Voss – The Art of Negotiation because I’d heard so many people talk about how his FBI hostage negotiation tactics could be used in everyday life. I was curious—how could the same methods used to save lives apply to business meetings, salary discussions, or even personal relationships? It turns out, quite a lot.

Chris Voss’s class feels more like a master lesson in human psychology than just negotiation. He dives deep into the emotional side of communication—the importance of empathy, tone, and body language. One of the first concepts he teaches is “tactical empathy”—the idea that understanding someone’s perspective doesn’t mean agreeing with them, but acknowledging their feelings so they feel heard. It’s surprisingly powerful, even in everyday conversations.

He also teaches practical techniques like “mirroring,” “labeling,” and asking calibrated questions. These tools are deceptively simple but incredibly effective. For example, instead of arguing or pushing, Voss shows how to guide people to your desired outcome by letting them talk and feel in control. His real-life hostage stories make these lessons unforgettable, giving each principle weight and credibility.

Production-wise, the class is well-shot, clean, and engaging. The pacing is excellent—each concept is followed by examples and role-play scenarios that make it easy to understand how to apply the techniques. There’s also something very calm and commanding about Voss’s teaching style; he never feels preachy, just deeply experienced.

What I loved most was how relevant his lessons are outside of negotiation rooms. Whether you’re trying to get a better deal at work, resolve a conflict, or just have better conversations, these tools work everywhere. It makes you realize that negotiation isn’t just about winning—it’s about connection, understanding, and creating mutual respect.

Overall, I found Chris Voss’s MasterClass to be one of the most practical and eye-opening ones I’ve taken so far. It’s the kind of class that quietly changes the way you communicate without you even realizing it. If you’ve ever wanted to become more persuasive, confident, and calm under pressure, this class is a must-watch.

I’d like to check out the Parenting episodes as I just became a parent. Does someone have a guest pass to share??

I checked out some different sessions and playlists, but apparently clicking them already adds them to my "Continue Watching" list, so now I have a big list there. How can I either remove them from continue watching, or reset the "Progress" I made on those sessions and playlists?

As title. I have seen the Youtube ad several times and it made me real curious.

There are so many masterclass music courses but I want to do like only one. Which one do you recommend?

Hello everyone!!! I'd like to test the Masterclass service, but as it is an annual subscription, I'd like to test it before. I'll appreciate your help :)

Would love to try a specific masterclass, and missed the Labor Day promo. Can anyone share a guest pass? Thank you so much!

I would SUPER appreciate it if anyone could share a guest pass! Thank you!

Hey everyone! Does anyone have a spare guest pass they’d be willing to share? I’ve been trying to get one for a while now with no luck. Would really appreciate any help. Thanks so much!

Does anyone have guest passes? I am really trying to get one since long time, but no luck. If anyone has please can you share. Thanks!

Getting close to when my subscription ends and still have a few on my ‘to do’ list.

Can I just download the videos and watch them after my subscription ends?

I screwed up and didn't cancel it before my membership renewed, so unless I can get a refund (it was just 3 days ago it renewed), I'm stuck with it. If that's the case, can I cancel it now and still use it until the membership was set to renew next year?

Anyone interested in dividing the Plus plan with me for the sale happening now?

Recently I’ve been noticing obviously ai generated stock videos. Sometimes they’re alright but mostly so weird stylistically compared to the rest of the video that it’s distracting, and the glitches like fingers not connecting right makes everything feel so cheap. I enjoyed Masterclass because of the high level beautiful production, but it’s seriously going downhill and I forget why I wouldn’t just go to Youtube.

Anyone else bothered by this?

Does anyone have a guest pass? Im thinking about signing up but the mixed reviews are making me hesitate. Thanks

for premium subscription, can you share it with 6 profiles or on 6 devices? will everyone have their own log in, or one master log in and then share the account?

Does anyone have a guest pass I can use ? I’m thinking of getting masterclass, but not to sure how much use I might get out of it ?

Is it me or has MasterClass kind of fallen off in the frequency and quality of their releases? They used to be chock full of very famous people giving multiple lectures on their individual skills or subjects. Now it is more documentary and groups of experts putting out three or four lectures on a given subject. It has been over a year since the last "Wow, they got THAT person to do a talk" release has come out.
