"Don't ask what they want. Show them what you've got.
If you want more - give more"

To act you need an appetite that is larger than life. You need passion and desire. If you're an actor, then your life must be about expression. What do you need to express? You are here to discover this.

Your attitude about yourself is very important. It informs and encompasses your talent.  Confidence releases juices, releases life, releases talent.

Class is for solving problems and breaking new ground, rising to a new level. If you can identify a problem, you're half way home in solving it.

98% of acting is showing up. All you have to do is show up to class, with passion, ready to work, and you will become the actor you want to be.

We encourage you to pursue acting work while you are studying.

Our training is rigorous and intensive. We believe that one day soon you will get the chance to use every ounce of your training. We encourage you to pursue every opportunity.

Acting must be personal. It must spring from who you are. It comes down to the choices you make and your ability to fulfill them.

Acting is also collaborating with other people. So get out, go study life outside of yourself.

Make your life work, make it sing. Use your creativity to make other people look good, to make their lives better.

People can be wrapped up in their own world. But realize that if you are consistently excellent, people will get you.

It's just a matter of time.
