“Great acting can be taught. I teach multiple techniques from the fundamentals to the most transformational character work.
I never had any intention had of teaching, I spent many years directing actors on films until I realised, like many filmmakers, I did not fully understand the process. I then trained as an actor and I visited teacher after teacher to discover the best work for screen acting. I now use all of the knowledge I gained as a director, editor, actor and teacher for the benefit of acting students.
I think my favourite teaching phrase maybe “You are enough ”. My job is to release an actor’s potential through technique. Everything you want to achieve as an actor is already inside you.”
