Gregory Holz is a great Director and coach. He has a wonderful way of helping one to understand what techniques to employ to reach any particular acting goals. He is able to simplify the broader concepts of acting and, uses physicality, humor, and example to achieve a necessary level of understanding. He is fun, visionary and honest. It is always a blast working with him. Darnell White Equity actor Sag-aftra

My name is James Hicks. I have known "Brother Greg" as I call him since I was a small boy. He's seen me grow as a man and I've watched him grow into an older distinguished gentleman too. As long as I've known him he has always kept a extremely pleasant demeanor about himself. I've also had the pleasure of working with him on several projects. He has taught me very well and helped me stretch my acting. He used his many years of experience and knowledge to help draw out the best of me for the character I was playing. I've used his techniques in productions that he was apart of and some that he wasn't apart of because his techniques stay with you. He truly is an outstanding actor and coach and will be an asset to any production he is apart of.

Mr Holtz is one of the best teachers I could ask for, not only in coaching acting but also is one of the best people I've ever met in my entire life. He teaches others in a very easy going yet beneficial way, Unfortunately it's extremely underrated because of the type of students he has to teach. He gives all his students with love and care and welcomes them with a lovely vibe and a good laugh, as long as they're willing to cooperate. He's a very loveable and funny guy, I remember creating a play with him during my 2 years in drama club with him, he's the leader. It took a while creating the play from scratch, a lot of remembered seeming not interesting and never returning to the club leading not being able to perform it during our first year. I can't lie I have given up at the beginning of the second year so I didn't bother joining for the 2nd year but a few months later he encouraged me to check it out which I did and I gained the motivation with the new drama crew to continue the play. With everyone writing their own separate part, Mr holtz helping everyone out with writing the script and acting out the part, we were able to overcome the bumps in the road and perform it live for our 2nd block class. It was an amazing experience ill truley never forget, it was the best high school experience of my entire life. And I have Mr holtz diligence determination and his big heart to thank for that.

Gregory Holts preaches and breathes honesty. When acting you feel the need to do justice to the script. A lot of the time this leads to an actor portraying a character and "showing" the camera how he/she feels. Greg has taught me that real character development only begins when you bring your own raw truth to acting for the stage or camera. It's a very simple and well known theory, but it's hard to conceptualize until you actually work through it on stage and see yourself on the screen. Greg breaks down scenes and monlogues with you in such a way that you see the script in a new light. He truly cares for his students. He knows how to talk to actors in a way that is understandable and relatable, and organically helps get them to achieve at a highly consistent level of acting. A must take coaching class for sure! - Trevor B

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Acting Lessons => $100 per hour
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Making sure I'm the right fit for them. An acting coach and a student is like a psychologist and a patient. We have to make sure we are comfortable with each other. Once a rapport is established, then we can move on from there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a graduate of Howard Universitys Department of Drama, earning a B.F.A. in 1977. I am the co-founder and Artistic Director of The Real Life Theater. Furthermore I have done extensive work in improvisation in my experience as a stand-up comic and as an actor working with the Creative Arts Team (out of New York University) performing unscripted Conflict Resolution through Drama. I would also say that my many years as an actor/playwright/director has sensitized me to the needs of an actor seeking to bring truth to the stage or screen.
