Acting Lessons in Somers. Amazing Teachers.

Stella Adler, Stanislavsky, Chekhov, and Meisner Acting Technique for Theatre/Camera is taught in private and group classes. All students are exposed to each technique and Rachel sees which technique each student responds to the most. Once the student and Rachel are able to identify the technique, Rachel continues to use the terminology of that technique for the remainder of the time the student is in lessons. Students eventually are able to play roles truthfully and realistically, even if the roles are opposite of the student's own personality.

Does your child want to be an actor or actress, like the kids they see on TV?

Do you want to children to learn the foundations of acting from a NYC actor who has auditioned for and booked roles on major TV shows such as BLUE BLOODS, LAW & ORDER:SVU and ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK?

My name is Martino Caputo and I am the owner of GENERATIONAL TALENTS. I have been studying acting and and performing professionally for the past 15 years. Since then the entertainment business has gone through many changes, but the foundations of great acting remain the same.

Allow me to teach your child how to be a great actor or actress, not how to become a celebrity.

Many teachers have helped shape the actor I am and I want to take all those nuggets of knowledge they gave me over the years and share them with your child. As a parent I want to be able to give other parents advice on how to start out in this business. I want to help you spot and avoid the scams (There are so many out there it is sad), ...

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?

Within the first few lessons, you'll begin to feel comfortable on stage and in front of a camera and as time goes on you'll be able to use your entire being to bring any script to life! I love working with beginning students of all ages and I can't wait to meet you!

Let's face it, we all know how to act. We did it as children. The only difference between what we all did as children and a career in acting is knowing how to utilize those skills. As a former actor I can help you develop valuable techniques to further your skills in performing, however, as a current director and casting agent, I also give you insights into the other side of industry to help you nail those roles!

I've spent my whole life either acting myself or directing others in doing so.

Whether its Acting for the Camera or onstage I have had the privilege to study with some of the best acting coaches both in New York and Los Angeles while working on Broadway and Television.
