Acting with Samantha R.

I am a professional actor based in New York, with additional roots and connections in Los Angeles. I graduated in three years from NYU with cum laude honors, and love to use the knowledge I gained to assist other actors in reaching their full potential. I spent two years studying at Atlantic Acting Studio, the school that supplements Atlantic Theatre Company (home of shows like Spring Awakening and The Band’s Visit). At Atlantic, I received thorough training in the Practical Aesthetics technique founded by David Mamet and William H. Macy. I also trained in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), Shakespeare (with acclaimed actor Chukwudi Iwuji), and Jones and Fitzmaurice voice techniques. The result of this training was a well-rounded education and the tools to pass on the knowledge to future students. I also studied at Stonestreet Studios, which focuses on film and television. There, I was able to learn acting techniques specific to camera, as well as behind-the-scenes production secrets. My teachers were casting executives and film directors, who gave me the information necessary to succeed in film or TV. Since graduating, I have worked on the Food Network as a presenter. I have become passionate about using all of this experience to train other actors, and I would be thrilled to work with you. Let’s get started, and see how far a strong technique can take you!
