About
Coach for Actors, Creators, Entrepreneurs, Individuals & Professionals. Hone unshakable personal and professional confidence. In Person Coaching in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California, and Zoom Coaching in all 50 states and around the world. Acting Coaching: My coaching philosophy guides individual students with an enriching understanding of Acting to empower yourself as an artist, professional and person. Acting, in its purest form of expression, is the improvisational elixir for a more enriching and joyous life. Acting, as the indelible and celebrated bridge across our world, has and remains timeless through all the ages. As an actor and coach, I have been immersed in all aspects of performance from Stage, Television, Film, and Social Media. With a BFA in Acting from Syracuse University and years living in the vibrant cities of Boston, New York and Los Angeles, I bring a wealth of knowledge through experience and lessons learned from influential mentors who have guided me along the way. Let’s take a straightforward approach to combine your instinctual creativity and unlock your voice from its barriers. Your journey is one I hope to share and help guide to discover the depths of your capabilities and self-expression on stage and in everyday life. I will help prepare you for the professional world through developing your skillset, releasing self doubt and guiding you to the strongest version of yourself. Public Speaking Coaching: Your mastery of Public Speaking will be cultivated by accessing the expressive range of your own voice discovered from within. My coaching approach steers you away from rigid academic steps in your head. Instead, I will guide you to experience new vocal freedoms and gift you permission as we venture into the pure joy of self-expression that undoubtedly will emerge. The distinction to my coaching lends clarity through the actor’s perspective. Less rigid thinking liberates you to reach listeners as an aware insightful storyteller, not a script reciter. Your new found confidence will connect to the true emotion behind your message that audiences will embrace as natural and memorably authentic, not contrived or read. Current and former Public Speaking Students have worked for the following companies and universities: Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Verizon, JP Morgan Chase, Albertsons, NASA, The White House, US Military, Affirm, KPMG, UCLA, California Institute of Technology, Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley, UPS, City of Oakland CA and more!

Matt goes above and beyond to not just teach me how to act and form relationships as I speak, but has also helped me personally grow as a person with patience and understanding. He's not afraid to tell me what I need to hear, but it is rooted in a genuine desire to me succeed not just in the subjects he teaches, but in life as well. I'm fortunate to have found him, and privileged to be learning from him.

Having Matt as my public speaking coach has been an incredible experience! He is professional, passionate, positive, and approachable. Through his coaching, I’ve learned how to connect with my audience, enhance my vocal variety, and step out of my comfort zone when speaking. I truly enjoy the practice exercises during our sessions—they’ve helped me grow tremendously. Before working with Matt, I was very shy and fearful of speaking in front of others. Now, I feel more confident, engaged, and able to build meaningful connections through my speeches. I also appreciate his flexibility in scheduling, which has made the learning process even smoother. I’m so glad I chose Matt as my coach and highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their public speaking skills!
