Teaching Method and Techniques
With over 40 years of experience in the film industry, my approach blends real-world acting techniques with personalized guidance tailored to each student’s needs. I focus on helping students connect deeply with characters, understand the layers of scene work, and cultivate a strong presence on camera. My teaching is hands-on, interactive, and practical, with a balance of theory and application. Students get individualized feedback and industry insights, learning to approach each scene and audition with confidence.
A Typical Lesson Plan
A typical lesson begins with a warm-up to get students in the right frame of mind, followed by exercises in scene analysis and character development. We’ll work on cold reads to strengthen audition skills, then transition to scene work, where I provide detailed feedback and guidance. I often incorporate real audition materials or scripts from films to give students experience with industry-standard materials. We’ll wrap up with a Q&A to ensure clarity and provide actionable steps for improvement.
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
Having starred in Poltergeist and various other films, as well as written and directed projects like a Hallmark Channel movie, I bring a unique, comprehensive perspective to teaching. My experience spans acting, directing, and screenwriting, which enables me to guide students not only in performing but in understanding the full scope of storytelling in film. I also draw on my education at USC Film School to offer a structured, professional approach that incorporates both craft and industry realities.
Who the Lessons Are For
My lessons are perfect for actors of all levels—from beginners eager to enter the industry to advanced students who want to refine their on-camera techniques. I work with teens, college students, and adult professionals looking to deepen their scene study, enhance audition skills, or prepare for a career in film acting. Whether you’re seeking to break into the industry or simply build confidence in front of the camera, I offer personalized guidance to meet your specific goals.
