Kent, WA Method Acting Lessons

I've taught acting to children, teens, and adults in the US and abroad since 2005 and my students are working! I have a Masters degree in Acting from the Actors Studio Drama School and I studied and taught at The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City, so I am well versed on Method Acting. My main goal is to help you develop and strengthen your own set of tools for practicing the craft of acting using method acting techniques, and to help you better understand your unique voice as an artist. Make sure to wear clothing you can move in during our sessions, and, most importantly, explore and just have fun!

Based on the teachings of Constantin Stanislavski, I teach technique. Focusing on 'Moment to Moment' work and sense memory.

Lee Strasberg's interpretations of Stanislavsky are a jumping off point for these lessons. The fundamentals of the Method such as sense memory, private moment, and how they are later applied to building a character and scene work are the primary focus.

Teaching a technique of acting in which an actor aspires to complete emotional identification with a part.

I’ve been an actor/ director for 40 years and have tutored and directed beginners as well as actors attempting to market themselves.
Learning the craft is only half the battle. Marketing yourself and getting up and running are extremely important. The biggest obstacle is the audition prep, the cold reading.
While in LA I studied with two of the best in the business, Stella Adler for scene study and Robert Thompson for cold reading audition scripts.
Some of my credits can be found on IMDB, a site showing actors credits.
I’m from Cleveland Ohio where I began my career in the theater and commercials.
Moved to LA in 1980 where I reoccurred on General Hospital and Days Of Our Lives.
Moved to NY in 1991 and doing theatre TV and film.
I’ll work with you for 1 or as many sessions as you feel comfortable with. And I’ll be sure to advise you depending on how far you want to go. For instance, if your just interested in doing background/ extra work , you’ll just need a lesson or 2.

I teach online audition techniques that working actors use to book auditions. I also teach you how to create a memorable performance for Film and Television by teaching you all the tools I use to book audition. I teach you the best way to remember your lines and stay in character in the each scene. Techniques I use are the same techniques use by Hollywood Actors/Actress.
