There a few teachers in the field of acting training who have both my experience (over four decades) and my understanding of human nature. I have the ability to make the student feel comfortable with me upon our first meeting. I leave my EGO at the door and create a relationship with the student that is built on trust. If you are willing to put in the work I will be your biggest cheerleader. I am more than a teacher - I am a mentor/life coach. If the student is willing to invest in the work I am willing to invest in the student and I will not stop working until the student has fulfilled her/his potential.
