Ian S. Talbot Acting Coach
About
I am passionate about the performing arts and arts education.
I have been teaching and directing for 20+ years, have directed over 100 productions and have taught several hundred students in the US and the UK. I am the 1st American to participate and win 3 gold medals in the British Arts Festival in it's 57th year and hold certificates from LAMDA. While I greatly enjoy classic theatre and techniques I am also very passionate about performance art and exploring new ways to present stories and ideas to all audiences. I am also an accomplished singer and vocal performance coach. Inmy quiet time, I also enjoy comic book and nerd culture. I look forward to the possibility of working together.
