Have been training actors in NYC for 15 years and many have gone on to films, TV, getting agents, winning awards. Have been a director and casting director in both NY and LA and know what auditions entail and what they want to see in order to cast you!

Emmy Award Winner David T. has over 33 years of acting experience in Film, TV and Stage. He is best known World-wide for his role on “The Young and the Restless” where he received 3 Emmy nominations and won his first Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series for his role as Billy Abbott. He has the experience and training to coach actors who are either beginning their journey with acting or are well experienced actors who are looking to bring more color and light to their work. so they will stand out in front of the casting director & make their tape unique from the rest. Acting is my passion, and I love to share that passion with others so they may reach their dreams of becoming a working actor.

I understand that sometimes people have a hard time speaking in front of others, but really want to improve. Whether it be, because you aren't speaking clearly enough, aren't projecting enough or need to get over your jitters, let's see what we can do. We can work on monologues or look at what event you're preparing for. Even if it is a speech for school or for an event at work. Both Acting and Singing have helped me with these issues. Working in front of someone that knows what to listen for and can help you to tweak what you've been doing might be the best solution.

I teach all kinds of acting, and have for over 40 years, but I specialize in stage acting, on-camera acting, acting for the face, voice acting, comedic acting, physical acting, improv, script analysis, monologues, audition prep, audition videos and voice over auditions. For Voice Acting, we'll cover the various elements including: pitch; loudness; speed; rhythm; tone; prosody; variables and variations; character elements; use of dramatic and comedic pauses; emotion; enunciation; emphasis; pace; intervals; nasal continuents; u-glide; musicality; timing, and more. We'll study mic technique, what to do and what to avoid. We'll study how to prepare your script, including identifying and using key words, and script shorthand. We'll explore what to expect in the studio, how to work with a producer, how to work with a sound engineer, and how to work with other voice actors. We'll apply the elements of Voice Acting to the study of voice artistry, video game voiceovers, commercial voiceovers, audiobook narration, character voices, dialects, documentary vo, reading short stories, auditions, and more. We'll cover: vo markets; how to develop leads; how to cultivate clients; what to expect from a client; how to audition; and how to deliver work that will make the client happy. We can also explore how you can create your own basic home studio, including microphone, software, interface, computer, headphones, and sound blankets.

Vocal Acting will encompass vocal techniques, reading music, learning how rhythms work, singing with other vocalist. Yet with Voice Acting students will learn how to create other voices with specific vocal techniques presented. Including character singing and acting, the style of the voice acting. This is a fun way to help students develop confidence as a Voice Actor with flexibility in their voice, learning what they can create.

Speak with the clarity, confidence, and charisma you have always dreamed of attaining. Let a nationally recognized speaking pro teach you the skills you need to improve your overall speech presentations. Because of my ability to diagnose speech problems very quickly, my students have nicknamed me "The Doctor of Speech." Let me evaluate your speaking voice during the very FIRST lesson. Then the work will begin. Being completely understood by your listener is vital to good communication. We'll concentrate on improving several basic voice and speech skills. They include learning correct breathing techniques, developing excellent voice resonance, instruction on proper word enunciation and voice projection, plus information on how to deliver a sound that features good voice pitch and tone. Of course, I also can help you fix other vocal problems you may not be aware of. This is a complete speech training program. All speaking voice classes are designed to be flexible. That means the student participates in deciding what other more advanced topics and areas will be studied. That may include role-playing exercises for speaking success, online presentation and speech critiques, job interview preparation, career coaching, and more. This is YOUR course. You help decide how your lessons unfold. Utilizing my many years of assisting speech students, I offer individualized lessons specifically targeted to your personal needs. My experience as a broadcaster, keynote speaker, and professor, gives me the background to immediately offer critical tips to enhance your speaking performance. My proven, live, teaching techniques will train your voice to sound richer, fuller, and more listener-friendly in just a few meetings. That means a stronger more pleasing vocal presentation for you and a one-of-a-kind speaking voice that people remember and respond positively to. Your speaking voice needs a checkup with the Doctor of Speech…the Doctor is in!

I have been coaching in this subject for over 20 years. There is no specific curriculum as each student will come to lessons with their own unique skills, needs, and goals. Lessons are tailored to those specifics. Lessons focus on vocal production technique (enunciation, breathing, projection, inflection, etc.), stage presence, and interpretation. These areas are usually worked on using texts provided by the student. Additional material may be used as needed. Students should come to the first lesson prepared to discuss their background & goals and the plan of their course of study.
