The On-Camera Class - the acting class. That is an intensive series of working sessions to install the mindset of the working actor but do it under the most difficult conditions that you will face as an actor, the audition. If you can love what you do there, you can do it anywhere. That one starts with a two-hour intro session with me. Next you will take the class and see the results of the different approach. The first class and the intro session are free. After that the class will rotate through Monologs, Commercials, Frozen readings, Improv, etc. Don’t miss a week. You’ll miss a lot.
This class is limited to 10 ACTORS plus 2 spaces for make up students.
Los Angeles and San Diego:
Tuition is $200 - for four weeks. If you start in the middle of the session your first payment will be prorated to however many weeks are left ($150-3, $100-2, $50-1).

Scene Study Class - by invitation only. Students that have mastered the audition environment may be invited to this class in four-week stints.

You must also be willing to meet outside class with your partner to rehearse. This class is not on camera.

The Marketing Seminar is a one-time class that I do 3 times a year. It starts with a survey done by the whole class on how they see you that is quantifiable. We take the results and start to establish what strategies you should use in your marketing materials to get past the roadblocks. Then you will cast a project and see why certain headshots get picked and others get dumped and trust me it's not what you think. Then we cover agents and managers how to get them but more importantly how to make them work for you. We cover contracts, showcases, alternate submissions, demo reels, goal setting, ending procrastination, solving crisis through mission statement, how to turn acquaintances into allies, and much more. Everyone who takes this class changes their headshots and everyone who takes the class walks away with a new drive to overcome the now understandable industry. You may retake this class for $50- , and many do, because there is so much to absorb. You will receive a packet of materials about an inch thick that you will use to refer to in the future.
$215- First time
$50- retake
KIDS CLASS/Private Sessions - Basically I work one on one with your child and you whether it’s a class setting or a Private Session to get him/her to understand what to do and what everything means. For someone her/his age getting you to understand is even more important so I strongly advise that you be in all sessions. The private sessions are $125.00 per hour and usually we set up a once a week time. I am currently running about 12 of these but I can probably make a time for you if you are interested.
Lastly I want you to understand my philosophy with kids. I think they have natural desire to want to live in imaginary worlds and feel things. Children’s feelings are very strong and never wrong. Their behavior may be inappropriate but never the feeling that brings the behavior about. This is their intuition and stomping on it will be a great detriment to them and make them complain about all of us to their therapist in 25 years!! I am very careful to make sure that nothing that I do takes priority over your child being a healthy and happy child. I do not work with parents trying to live out their dreams through their children or forcing their children to do something that they are not interested in. If you agree with this philosophy then lets talk some more.

Why is this so hard? Why am I not famous yet? Am I really the one? Do I deserve this? Am I good enough? Why don’t they see notice me? Why am I here? Why am I so tortured? Why can’t I just get a regular job like my parents keep suggesting? Am I just crazy? Am I kidding myself? Am I too old, young, tall, short, fat, skinny, ugly? How much longer should I go on? Is this the life I was supposed to lead? Is this what I dreamed of doing when I was a little kid? Why am I not further along? Why am I not happy when I meet my goals? Why am I so hard on myself? Why do I keep asking the questions?
