Studio For Acting

One of the advantages of being an actor who has produced and cast my own film and commercial projects is that I have learned a lot about life on "the other side of the table." I seek to share that experience with my students. The goal of this class is to help you hone your acting and audition skills such that when you leave an audition, you can say, "I did what I wanted to do!"

Too often, as actors, our nerves get in the way of our talent. My class also addresses this basic obstacle. Taking its cue from the teachings of my mentor, long-time acting coach David LeGrant, On-Camera Acting helps you learn to make the interesting choices that will set you apart from everybody else in the room. I focus on your individuality and help you find yourself in whatever role you are attempting.

Our class format is simple. In keeping with the way the audition process works, I will email you hand-picked sides before class. When you arrive to class, you will be placed "on set." I shoot a total of five takes. We do two takes and then take an objective look at the choices you made on your own. We will then arrive at some adjustments for the remaining three takes. You will be a participant in making your own adjustments, with coaching from me as "The Director." You will begin to see changes right away, guaranteed! I intentionally keep the class small, so you will receive a lot of individual attention.

When I see an actor really begin to indulge themselves as an individual artist, it lights me up. Most of my work is teaching my students how "not to act" and really be in the moment in a scene.
