About

Empowering the actor to develop their own way of working, encouraging them to develop a reliable tool box of physical skills, help them quickly discern what is required of them for the scene, monologue, commercial bit, camera moment, etc., and giving them the opportunity to practice in a safe nurturing environment along with others who have varied backgrounds, professional experience and training and all share a love and respect for the craft of acting. There is a huge international presence in my class with students from all over the world, all with their own understanding of what acting is. I love the mix of cultures, ethnicities, each individual representing the varied types of education and training they have been exposed to before tackling Hollywood where they all share "the dream."

The Sport of Acting is THE place to learn. Vinny is a working actor himself and our audition technique classes are always current. Vinny responds to each individual students needs and I have often used techniques learned in class on set, in auditions and in my prep.

Although I have known Vinny as a friend and fellow actor for many years, it was only recently that I got to know him as a teacher and acting coach. He is a wonderful resource whose class is full of fun and incredible opportunities to grow as an actor. Vinny knows all about the rigors of being a working actor onstage, in films and TV and he shares his insights and experiences in a way that makes them accessible for the inexperienced actor, as well as, the seasoned professional. Every class is challenging and exciting. Audit a class and find out for yourself.

As a newcomer to the 'sport of acting,' my time with Vinny has been time well spent. I believe he's done a great job as teacher, coach and friend, improving both my understanding of acting and my acting skills. I think the intelligence, experience and enthusiasm he brings to the table invaluable.

More than just an acting class, The Sport of Acting is one of the highlights of my week. Our regular classes have given me great confidence approaching scenes and monologues, and the on-camera classes/mock auditions have been invaluable too. What this class has that no other class can offer though...is Vinny. He's got serious chops and he's a great communicator, capable of distilling information into readily-applicable packages. More importantly he's a great guy who inspires in a way (truly) no one else can. Check it out!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Not complicated! $259 for 8 weeks. Compare to other studios, about 1/2 the price/ Why? No tiered enrollment - you do not have to study with other teachers on levels 1, 2, and 3 before you "earn the right" to be in my class. If you enroll in sport, you study with ME. I do not designate levels, educated theatre actors with educational degrees and stone cold beginners all take the same course, The Essential Sport.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I continue to work as an actor and each experience gives me more to bring back to the students.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was given the opportunity to share my experience with actors in a foreign country while on a film I was in.
