We are acting coaches based in the Austin, Texas area.
We have an aggressive program to give you immediate, practical experience in film acting. We spend less time lecturing and more time finding scenes for you to hone your skills on. We support you in every aspect of the business, from making you a better actor to helping you understand the market and do better at auditions to getting a good headshot.
We offer classes at three levels:

EACH CLASS STANDS ON ITS OWN... NO NEED TO START AT THE BEGINNING OF A MONTH. $40 each... 3 for $100... you pick your schedule...any combination.
END OF SUMMER SPECIAL!! 6 FOR $190 AND ALL 7 FOR $210!
These are fast moving workshops for teens and up. I provide a two-DVD camera setup that speeds things along so all my actors can do 2 or more scenes a session and take home a mini-dvd. I believe in stretching you emotionally by giving you all kinds of conflicting scenes and characters to play. I spend less time lecturing and more time working you on all the details of film acting. You take a dvd home with you to check your work. (I provide first mini-dvd)
In addition to basic scene work we'll be covering AUDITIONING, MOVEMENT,PROPS, EMOTIONAL COMMITMENT and TIPS ON THE BIZ.
Directors, Writers, Agents, and Casting Directors are occasionally invited to check out the talent. Showcases twice a year.
