Each one of us – each one of my students – is unique. The thrill for me, as a teacher, is to tap into that uniqueness and watch my actors grow. By first accepting that there is no one technique that fits all. Stanislavski, Meisner, and others have their place – which is why I’ve spent the past 35 years studying their work. That said, my immediate goal when I coach people is to discover exactly how
each one learns, and then to hone in on what is specifically needed. Individual students have invested more time than others in certain areas: auditioning skills, cold reading, dropping regional accents, projecting, improving movement – the list is endless. The common thread through all of it is that I believe you can only build on a solid foundation. Which means that an actor’s fundamental tool – his confidence in himself and his work – is reinforced even as he works on what needs to be developed. It is work. But, as I’ve said, it’s thrilling. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the process.”
