The one constant in the entertainment industry is that it’s full of change. It takes an actor who is strong and confident with his acting abilities to handle whatever comes his way when conditions are less than perfect. Crea

“Actors are responsible to the people we play. I don’t label or judge, I just play them as expressively as I can.” A favorite quote by the talented Philip Seymour Hoffman, and a wonderful perspective for all of us actors to embody. 🎬❤️🎬
I’m often asked by actors, how to make good choices for playing a character in a scene…
One of the first places to look, is the script itself. Understanding what the writer needs from you can help you gain a new perspective on the character, the scene, and what he wants at this moment.
I recently saw an interview with writer Aaron Sorkin (of “The Social Network” and “Molly’s Game) who talked about this very thing.
He said:
“I worship at the altar of intention and obstacle. That’s the driveshaft of the car.”
What do you want, how do you intend to get it, and what’s in your way?

Work harder than anyone else.
I’ve had the honor and privilege of working with some Academy Award winning talent. They started their day earlier, left later, and worked harder than anyone else around them. And I never heard them complaining. They were too busy creating!
Here’s to your success!

Keep your purpose strong. 💪🏼✨
In these trying times, it is easy to want to stop or give up. Take this time to focus, to learn and grow. Behind everything that stops you is a failure to have accomplished your goal. Rekindle that goal and your drive to succeed will be restored.
“Drive. Geniuses have a strong desire to work hard and long. They are willing to give all they’ve got to a project. Develop your drive by focusing on your future success, and keep going.”
How can you apply that to your career immediately? What scene do you want to tackle in acting class? Do it. What future success would you like to have? A lead on a series, a reoccurring part on a series, a feature film, a web series, name it. Now go into action on achieving that.
As a teacher, my focus is to work with the student in front of me, an individual and not a generality, to help him discover his voice as an actor. This is vital to opening the door to a successful career.
My philosophy as a teacher is that actors learn by doing so every actor works every class in exercises that are tailor made to his or her needs to expand his or her range with character and emotion. The focus is on providing the actor with the information he needs to know to be a skillful working actor – everything from script analysis, to auditioning, to working on set.

I believe all actors want to go further in the exploration of what it is to be a human being. That’s what makes them so irresistible. I believe it’s amazing to have the courage to try to explore the mystery of putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. I have respect for actors. I am grateful when they unexpectedly sweep me away from the horror of trying to make a movie. I am thrilled when they transport me out of reality. I am excited by their possibilities. I love actors. #thankful
I love being an acting coach! Teaching others, hosting workshops, and watching my students learn and succeed is such a joy. 🎟⭐️
One of the great things about acting is you can never stop learning! Take some time each day to research new skills. Watch some videos, read a book, or check out the blog on my website. Always continue pushing yourself to learn! ⭐️👌🏻
I know with the recent global pandemic, it’s been tough on many in the entertainment industry. We’re all in this together, and we can all be here to support one another — even if it might not be in person. So keep your acting skills and training fresh by considering online classes or even a Group FaceTime workshop with friends. Keep on acting on! ❤️🎭
Do you ever think about facial expressions you make in the audition room when not performing? You should. Don’t get caught off guard making a weird expression in response to feedback or fellow actors. You never know who might be paying attention. 💫👌🏻
Great advice from Jimmy Fallon. “There’s always going to be someone out there… who doesn’t believe in you or who thinks your head is too big or you’re not smart enough. But those are the people you need to ignore, and those are the times you need to just keep doing what you love doing.”
When you find a role that speaks to you and you plan to audition for it, always read the entire script. Once you’re done, read it again. Find the character within the words — their unique qualities, their good and bad, their subtle nuances. Doing this will put you well ahead of the competition and help you nail the performance 🎬👍🏼
Anyone planning on heading to the theater this weekend to watch a movie or show? I would love to hear what you’re planning to see! 🎞🎥💫
Anyone miss classic films? So many great films were created by incredible men and women who pioneered the launch of the entertainment industry. It’s always fun to watch those early black and white classics and try to imagine yourself in their shoes 👞
When asked what made a great audition, casting director Bernard Telsey said, “coming in with performance level work with choices you wouldn’t have thought of, but the material is demanding.” Keep this in mind for your auditions, and work with a coach to help develop these skills 👍🏼🎥
Whenever you’re working on a set, ALWAYS respect the crew. These men and women work long, tough hours to help make sure your scene is shot perfectly. You never want to develop a reputation for being that difficult actor on set, so have fun, be on time, be respectful, and enjoy your crew! 🎬👍🏼
Remember, someone is going to get the part. And the person who goes beyond expectations is usually the one who’s the most prepared and the most professional and has something special to offer. So put in the extra work, practice extra hours, talk with your acting coach, and bring your best to every audition. 👍🏼🎞
Living and working in Los Angeles, I always enjoy being so close to several incredible theaters where I can watch a stage show or film. Do you have any favorite theaters?

One of my top priorities as an acting coach is to provide a working environment that is creative, inspiring, and challenging for the actors who train here. When you walk through the door of the studio, one of the first things you'll notice is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement for the work. At the acting studio we have helped to launch the careers of many wonderful actors including Adam Sandler, Jason Lee, Ellen DeGeneres, Giovanni Ribisi, Faith Ford and Jane Leeves. We are a school for actors who are serious about developing their careers and want a safe and inspiring place in which to do so.
