About
Hello, I am Marc Stallion! I am a college professor of the performing arts, and I specialize in helping actors like yourself develop their skills across film, theater, musical theater, and TV! No matter your level currently, I make sure to offer all of my students university-level training.
I've been in the performing arts industry for over a decade now. I received my bachelor's degree in acting from one of the top performing Arts universities in Los Angeles. Shortly after, I received two Master's degrees: one in Creative Writing with a focus on contemporary media and screenwriting. My second Master's is in pedagogy, with a focus on new methods of teaching and curriculum design. I have written, directed, and produced many films and live stage productions.
What makes me different and Unique from other instructors is that I am also a working film director and producer, and I do give my students REAL on-set work experience.
I am also a practicing and certified CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), and fitness coach. As an actor, breath work, meditation, and behavioral analysis have always been a big part of my approach, and for many years I've been working privately with clients to have them reach their personal goals and objectives.
