“So many acting classes cheat the actor because all the teacher is doing is directing them. Although it’s obviously important to learn to follow direction, every actor needs a solid foundation of craft to build from. I teach acting from the inside out, so that my actors come from a place of truth. I teach a foundation that gives the actor strength, courage and imagination. After years of casting commercials, television and movies, I know how to teach the actor what they need to know to book the job . . . and once they’’re working, I can teach them to create a remarkable performance. I enroll career-minded actors only. My students work hard. . . and they make tremendous improvements, very quickly.”
