Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I've been a professional acting coach for over 19 years. I've trained actors who have appeared on Broadway, on TV and in films with Spielberg, etc. I combine Meisner work with the Ivana Chubbuck technique, as well as my own unique techniques I have developed over the years. I have had huge success building actors confidence and sense of self. I'm also a master energy healer and can help my clients move through perceived blocks with ease.I make the process FUN and bring the joy to acting for beginners to advanced pros. I'm also an award-winning actor myself so I know the business and can read with you to help you get better faster. I LOVE helping someone open up emotionally, gain confidence, feel connected emotionally and physically. I LOVE helping actors feel what it is like to be connected and AUTHENTIC!

Benson is a triple hitter, a Leo award winning actor, public speaker and A list acting coach.. I have known him for over 30 years and he knows the acting game inside and out, and has that rare gift of intuitively seeing the blocks an actor has and is able to help them release them. He has taught extensively and as a public speaker inspires with his personal stories of overcoming obstacles to success.. Brent Fidler - award winning writer and actor

Benson changed my life and acting capabilities with his razor sharp instincts and insights while studying acting with him his excellent program "The Business of Acting". As an award winning actor himself he brings that much more to every session he facilitates. I highly recommend working with him if you're ready to take your craft to a deeper and more connected level. I have booked more roles since meeting and working with Benson. 5 Stars

I immediately call Benson when I have a new acting role to play to get his advice on how to develop the performance. I have also seen him act and hope I can develop my talent as well as he has. That is why I keep thinking of him when I am scared I won't live up to my potential and beg G-d to give me as much ability as he has.

Contaced me right away and he sounds amazing. His background is outstanding so he is definitely the real deal. Seems very much he is for me, but remember everyone needs to find the person for them.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    We work either in person or by skype and we will usually work on a scene or monologue or a speech. The actor will perform it and then we will analyze the text. I then get the actor to start using tools like objective, substitution, actions on lines, etc to get deeper and to begin to do the piece with more passion and autheticity.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I completed the two year Meisner program. I also studied for years with Ivana Chubbuck who gave me her blessings to teach her technique many years ago. I ran seminars and workshops, teaching in almost every major city in Canada, as well as New York, LA, Florida and New Mexico in the U.S. I've also guest lectured at colleges in Canada and Israel.
