My students have been landing jobs and keep on being hired multiple times in film, tv and theater venues.
I believe one has to be a working professional in order to pass on fresh knowledge alongside a solid background of studies: I hold a PhD in Linguistics, I studied at HB Studios in New York and went to the Stella Adler Conservatory in Los Angeles. I took plenty of classes in Method Acting in New York and in the Meisner Technique in LA.
I graduated from The Los Angeles/New York Film Academy as Director-Writer-Filmmaker and my first short is currently in production.
As a film director I find myself on location often, therefore, though living in Los Angeles, my classes are online. I do give live workshops in New York and LA throughout the year though.
I have been coaching and developing talent for more than 30 years alongside a thriving theater and film career. I offer fully individually tailored programs for each one’s UNIQUENESS and to discover one’s TRUE and AUTHENTIC SELF.
What is peculiar about my classes is that we start carving a career path from day one alongside the artistic development. We come up with a detailed individually tailored program just for you and your needs.
We start for example with the main acting techniques and see what resonates best with YOU. I provide all study material.
But later I also tell you where and how to audition, what you need to audition (not after we have analyzed your character type and narrowed down your niche of work) and of course I teach you to self tape.
I have worked in prestigious colleges and schools on both the East and West Coasts, but I prefer now to focus on individual careers.
By the way, I help people in the art of acting, but also hold a roster of students whom I follow every step of the way through the screenwriting of their feature film or tv series.
I also hold a Yoga/Spiritual Coach diploma from YogaWorks acquired in New York City and I incorporate these skills in my coaching.
Let’s set up a mini first class to show you how I could contribute to your development as a performer, artist and person!
