    Hi, there! My name is Sean, and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching private acting lessons since 2001 and have loved helping my students get cast in their dream roles, increase their range as an actor and improviser, and learn how to emotionally move an audience. I've got an MFA in Physical Theatre and a BFA in Theatre and have acted professionally on network TV, Amazon Prime, and Sony PlayStation. I'm a positive and motivating person and my teaching style is honest, practical, and fun. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

    Sean is great! He is fun to be around and gets me thinking outside of the box when it comes to improv, points out things I should pay attention to, and guides me in ways around what beginners usually do.

    Sean was an awesome instructor for our improv team. NYC's all the lesser for his absence. One of the things that set Sean apart from other coaches was his attention to detail in character approach. His acting instruction helped many of us embrace characters in a more realistic way, which usually resulted in way funnier scenes full of discovery instead of "invention."

    Sean is a wonderful improv teacher. He coached my improv team during several practice sessions. Sean provides detailed feedback and specific notes on improv, comedy, acting, etc., which I found extremely helpful for my individual growth as a performer. He was also a huge help for our team as we grew from being a casual level 1 practice group to eventually becoming an indie team and performing shows around New York. I always cite Sean’s help as being instrumental in my growth as an improviser.
