Acting Coach Methods in Los Angeles

Coaching Method

I am an acting coach and an industry coach. In addition to giving you the tools and techniques to become a better actor, I will also apply my experience in the industry to help you market yourself, network successfully, and book the roles you want.

Methods

I was formally trained at Yale to coach most major methods of acting for stage and screen. I have studied and taught:

Stanislavski	Method acting	Brechtian concepts	Chekhov
Meissner	Classical technique	Viewpoints

Out of this diverse training, I developed the method that I use and teach called "Modern Thought". I believe that no actor can be confined to just one of these older methods in todays acting world and that is the core idea of "modern thought", it blends old methods with the tools needed to succeed in today's Hollywood. These disciplines all work well to capture the essence of a role and bring out powerful emotions but each actor learns and works differently and can benefit from slices of each. My method teaches a blend of all these methods tuned to my student’s specific needs and learning style. I like to help find what makes you unique and to explore which ways of thinking work best for you.

Goals
