My NYC acting workshop was created by what I witnessed over and over when viewing other actors...too often I watched actors working from the "neck up." They were on top of their work, not bottomed-in. Their acting was based on "tricks", on personality, or a need to express their own deep feelings, rather than what was needed for the role. The thinking being , "If I expose how deeply I feel, then I will be thought of as a "good actor." Nothing is further from the truth.

How do I know? Because it happened to me. For many years I was a working actor...booking work in film, television, and commercials. I had studied with some of the most respected acting teachers in the country. I learned a great deal about myself and my work but I was still not satisfied. I felt my work was too random. Occasionally I would be able to "drop-in" to a truthful place but it was more about fear than knowledge. I wanted something more; I wanted to know how to approach my work in a way that enabled me to be consistent. Not to be perfect. I just wanted to know how to approach my character from a place of truth rather than playing a concept. I no longer wanted to play for a result. In my search, I found Susan Batson, and with her, I learned the "the work". Susan helped me to see how I was "faking it" and didn't know it. It was a painful but necessary process to see how I had managed to fool myself into thinking how good I was. I learned to no longer settle for acting without being truthful in the moment.

This search for truthful behavior, based on the need of the character, under the given circumstances in the story, written by the author, led me to want to share this process with those struggling to be working actors. Because the bottom line is, no one can do this alone.

Along the way, I have indeed helped my acting students become paid working actors, which you can read about in the testimonials, but deep down, the reason I continue the unending search for truth in acting, is because I have to. I do this work because I love that moment when all the time, money, and hard work pay off. There is for me, no greater high than when you experience the realization of a new awareness in yourself and in your work.


I look forward to the day when our artistic paths may cross.
