About

All we are attempting to do is convince someone(s) that their words, production, character are better served with you rather than the person sitting immediately to your left. Sometimes we succeed and sometimes we don't. And often when we don't it's due to mitigating factors such as; age, height, race or even sex as much as anything else. So if we can't control what is out of our control (height, weight, appearance, age etc....) then what can we control? Our readiness. I believe objectives, intentions, analysis etc... and the like leads you to connect to whatever it is you're saying and that is going to carry you through the day. If you're connected, you're authentic. And if you're authentic, then you're real. And if you're real well then

anything is possible. My process is to get you to a place where you're living and breathing the part such that when you leave "the room", you leave it complete. You've given them something to think about. The rest is up to them.

I believe we already know everything there is to know, we just don't know it. I mean you've somehow made it this far in life so you must be doing something right. Flawed, volatile, expressive , loving, caring..you name it, the characters we play are it. In other words they are human! It's just a question of figuring out what makes their heart beat. And what better guide map than the text that lays in front of us. In fact in most cases it's all we have to go on. So breaking down the text, improvising around what's there and/or drawing on personal experiences are the core themes I work with to get you to where you want to go. From there we create a flushed out character that lives and breathes and speaks as effortlessly as you do. By the time you hit the audition or set your choices are grounded, the words your own, and you're free and present.
