About

My work stands out because it stems from a unique method of acting that has never been printed in text, and remains to be the preferred method of acting for some of the most accomplished actors in the world. It is called Movement Psychology, was created by Yat Malmgren. Today we are rated as the #1 acting school in the UK. Passing on knowledge to others has always been very important to me as an actor. I believe that we need to help each other and pass on the tools that we pick up during our training and experiences. I enjoy sharing what I know and learning from others.

Session with Alexander are extremely organized and productive. The greatest point that stood out to me, apart from his educational background was his emphasis on the importance of "movement, VOICE and text analysis". I highly recommended Alex, and I have! We've used specific technique to break physical tension, find MY voice and use my voice effectively based on character/situation. Yes, we also work on posture and movement as it happens to contribute to natural delivery of the text. Only 3 months into our lessons, I've seen so many improvements in my auditioning. Better posture and better vocal resonance is a marker in my everyday life and not only an acting technique. I continue to work with Alex and really am grateful to have found the perfect coach for me.
