Marin Actors Workshop
About
I teach acting scenes and monologues. I’m a working actor myself so I know the advantages and perils of the craft. Mostly adults. It’s a great class. Facebook: Marin Actos Workshop. Saturday mornings in Novato CA.
The most recurrent comment I hear about my teaching acting is that I "make actors feel safe." All the choices the actor makes are respected. Then, I make my suggestions to hopefully improve the scene or monologue. I've been there, so I understand how the actors feels, what motivates him or her. If there's an actor in you, I will find her/him. And I will bring it out for the world to see.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
If the actor is new to the craft, then we cover the basics. How to build a character. How to project the voice. How to find the 'meat' of the scene. Actling for the stage is somewhat different from acting for the camera. I'll give you a good definition of the difference and assign work that will enhance your acting skills, wheter on stage or in front of the camera.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I did not major in acting. It was journalism for me. But I acted in many of our college productions. It was after college that my acting career took shape. I have appeared in numerous network TV appearances, been in some pretty good films and I do voices for animation and video games. You can check out my credentials at www.terrymcgovern.com.
