Overview

The QUIT ACTING! Workshops are PRIVATE ONE-ON-ONE and ON-CAMERA classes for young people seriously pursuing a professional acting career in television, film, and/or theater. Individualized classes provides valuable exercises in how to utilize the true "tools of the actor" combined with techniques to help the actor get out of the head and into the heart, and most importantly out of their own way. This allows each student to find and trust their own style while teaching a strong foundation to handle any audition or on-set situation with confidence.

On-Going workshops provides the best results as continuous training is the key to success. For optimal results workshops are generally 4 sessions and 1 hour and 15 minutes per class. However flexible scheduling is available depending on the needs of individual students.
