About
Hi there, fellow actors!
I'm a working actor in Hollywood. I've had major roles on many accredited shows: Barry, Bosch, Designated Survivor, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Blacklist, Scorpioin, Law & Order SVU, etc..
No matter what type of training you have, I will help you achieve a stronger audition with whatever TV or Film copy you're working on.
We all run into roadblocks when trying to achieve actable results in any given scene. I'm here to help point out where improvements can be made on your overall performance and guide you into a solid audition peice for when you step in front of a camera, auditors, directors, producers, and casting directors.
I have BFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and classically trained by the famous Shakespeare Theater School in Washington D.C. I've been working in NYC for 20 years and 5 years, thus far, in Hollywood.

Reach out and we'll set up a time to get you on your way. Let's get you that part!
Cheers,
Troy
I absolutely love the breakthroughs my students find while working together. Every actor is different and brings something unique to the table. Some are stuck, and that's what I'm great at-- getting them to get un-stuck!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I ask them about their training? What's the material they're audition for? I ask students to learn the material they're working on so we can get to the coaching asap.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Actor and screenwriting training have helped enormously to my acting coaching work.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$40 for an hour session. Sometimes sessions take a little longer. That's fine. I'm not a money grubber. :)
How did you get started teaching?
I have a ton of actor friends who were always looking for a good reader/listener/coach to run their auditions with. Naturally, since I'm a classically trained actor from NYU and the Shakespeare Theater and have been on numerous high profile TV and Film productions, I grew into their regular coach. Then I started branching out. :)
What types of students have you worked with?
Theater, film, and TV students at all levels.
