Performing Arts Lessons in Irvine, CA. It's your time.

Film scoring has been my ultimate passion since I was 9 years old. I have an MFA in film scoring from Columbia College Chicago. I am currently scoring a few films and teaching lessons on the side. I love teaching! I have many scenes to share with students for them to score. I would talk with students about the scene they're scoring, share tips and focus on style, technique, and emotional content of the scene. I have lots of technology experience, so I can help students learn how to actually turn the music in their heads into a physical recording. I specialize in Logic, ProTools ,and DigitalPerformer but can work with students in Garageband as well.

Hi! I play Marty on the Golden Globe winning show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. I am a graduate of The Upright Citizens Brigade and have been teaching improv for 5 years. Improv is an incredible tool for freeing us to build and find exciting choices in all our work. Whether you're looking to strengthen your commercial, television, film, theater or public speaking techniques, you'll soon love leaping "without a net".

With Voice Acting lessons you'll learn techniques to keep your voice healthy and strong while doing vocal gymnastics in the recording studio. Learn methods of supporting your voice through proper breathing and diction, finding the proper placement for certain sounds, and creating a rubric for discovering the best way to achieve a specific vocal production without sacrificing health, quality, volume, or expression.

If you talk the talk, you better walk that walk! I am a veteran film and television actor and producer whose credits include over 50 television shows and two Academy award-winning films. I have experience in all levels of filmmaking. I have taken a feature film from concept to sale. I co-wrote, produced, edited, and post-produced the movie, and then found representation with a major sales agent, and finally achieved both foreign and domestic distribution. I will help any filmmakers realize their vision, as I have done it myself from start to finish!
