I love sharing the techniques I've honed working with Steppenwolf, Chicago Shakespeare and other Tony award winning theaters. We will work on techniques to "own the space", be heard, quickly drop into a character, raise the stakes, and make choices to create an exhilarating performance.

Acting for the stage requires many talents to be shared at the same time. You must always be aware of your "sight lines" of "blocking" another actor; of "finding your light". These lessons will teach you these important concepts as well as acting techniques to create and build a character; what to do if you forgot a line; what to do if another actor forgets a line; improvising with technical problems, costume malfunctions or other emergent situations. More than technique, these lessons will prepare you to be at home on the stage and thrill your audience.

I've been teaching Theatre Acting for over two years. I specialize in Cold-Reading Techniques, Stage Vocal Exercises and Preparation, and Stage Presence Cultivation. My methods will help you tap into your inner stage actor and realize your potential!

I'll show you how to develop a character or read a scene with another scene partner and I'll make the training fun! I'll help you choose good monologues and show you how to "cold read" a dialogue at an audition. Based on my education at Columbia I have lots of techniques to offer! If you want to you can bring a scene partner, otherwise I'll read the scenes with you.

I'm a career professional actor with many television and Broadway credits. Recurred as "Noel" on FRASIER and "The Blind Guy" on CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM. Master's degree from the YALE SCHOOL OF DRAMA. I have taught kids and adults. Teaching credits include Pace University and Buffalo State. Taught in a private studio in LA for years.
