Shakespearean Acting Lessons in Irving. Amazing Teachers.

I've taught vocal training to children, teens, and adults in the US and abroad since 2006 and my students are working! My Masters degree training has afforded me the opportunity to be well versed in effective vocal techniques.

Make sure to wear clothing you can move in during our sessions, and, most importantly, explore and just have fun!

Depending upon what your interests are and where you want to go, we will build a plan together. My philosophy on acting techniques is that they are tools to help you, not tests you pass if you're a good actor and fail if you're a bad one.

I help my students break down the text through analyzing the iambic pentameter, rhetorical devices, and imaging work of the text. After the analysis, I help my students learn how to perform Shakespeare in a truthful, interesting, and accessible way.

I'm a career professional actor with many television and Broadway credits. Recurred as "Noel" on FRASIER and "The Blind Guy" on CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM. Master's degree from the YALE SCHOOL OF DRAMA.
