Good Act
About
In 30 yrs of experience on stage, on camera, and behind, and 1000's of hours in classes and workshops myself, I've watch a thousand actors struggling to find the truth and value in their work.
I don't have all the answers and, no, I haven't discovered a "right" way to do it. To date, no one has. But I am a qualified guide, and the methods I've developed over decades of trial an error and often success could help you too.

One of my favorite things about coaching is, and has been, the volumes I end up learning as students and I work together to find the truth and value in this work we love so much.
