Allendale, NJ Acting Lessons

Boleslavsky and Strasburg techniques combined with British Classical School. -as the result of my own training. We begin with training of the body for the ability to be relaxed and ready for anything, working in a chair in the Lee Strasburg system, releasing tensions and assessing the difference and working week by week on the sense memory exercises to build up the strength of imagination and elemental response and creativity. We also work with theatre games as well as analytical techniques.

I coach monologues, scenes and commercials.

Every actor has their own strengths and weaknesses. It is my goal to pull out strengths, develop, and help achieve a natural and realistic performance. From the audition to the final performance, my actors are ready for anything that is thrown at them.

​Becoming successful depends on your definition of success. It could be professional theatre, film and television, ​community theatre, school plays, or just to gain confidence in yourself. Whatever your path to success is, it’s all about using your strengths to help connect to each and every role you play. This is our focus, your strengths to achieve naturalism and realism.

No matter what your goals are, I am focused on helping you find the best possible path towards your version of success. Every road is different and that’s what makes every actors story so interesting.

Acting Lessons will be catered to each individual and their level of knowledge and skill. Be ready to explore your body, mind, and soul! We will have a fun time learning to expresses ourselves and 'naturally' project emotions/feelings/ and our presence.

Acting with ease is mostly about really being relaxed and at peace while fulfilling a role. The best acting comes from having passion and confidence in the choices that you have made while you have prepared. The greatest obstacle? The inner critic, the inner skeptic, the inner dragon that works hard to put on the breaks and make us question ourselves and whether it is safe or not to let go. My job is to help you feel safe enough to be able to trust your creative instincts and your natural impulses. I'm more of a kind, compassionate, understanding and forgiving coach who nurtures the talent that is already in there. We all know you've got it -- who are we kidding?

Acting is something we do each day of our lives, in a manner of speaking - and the seemingly mundane skills we already use daily can be honed into super powers for embodying characters. Being on stage or on screen is an unparalleled thrill and can take us to the most surreal worlds and feelings - but it starts with centering in ourselves and getting real. I believe that breaking it down and developing your own acting technique for the theatrical context is essentially a matter of understanding yourself and some basic concepts, and rigorously (yet with a healthy does of humor and joy!) practicing the application of these concepts.

Acting is the love of my life, and I've devoted tens of thousands of hours to studying it through a variety of methods, and working in the field on a wide range of projects (theatre, musicals, film, opera, experimental music theatre, children's theatre), learning from masters of their craft.

I help each student analyze the script so they can make strong choices that are unique to their acting talents.
