About
I work with actors who are interested in actively training and taking their craft seriously. I’m a working actor with nearly 20 years of experience, classically trained in NYC at The Circle in the Square Acting Conservatory. My background includes on-camera work in film and television, theater, voiceover, and performance capture for video games. I don’t come at this as a guru or a motivational coach. I work as a peer, another actor in the room, focused on the work itself. I’m less interested in giving “the right answer” and more interested in helping you ask better questions. Acting doesn’t live in shortcuts. It lives in specificity, imagination, and truthful choices. That’s where I put my energy. This tends to work best for actors who want honest feedback, are open to ongoing, consistent training, and enjoy digging into the process rather than being told what to do. If you’re looking for quick fixes or surface-level validation, this probably won’t be the right fit, and that’s okay. All sessions are online only. The work can include audition prep, scene work, classic acting exercises, or ongoing training shaped around your individual goals. If this approach sounds like your speed, we’ll likely work well together.

Jeff is a great coach. He really makes you feel comfortable when you’re uncomfortable, and when it comes to acting, it can get really uncomfortable. I saw improvement straight from the first lesson we had and I believe that if i keep sticking with it, then not only will i break through my shell, I will also excel at acting. All because of Jeff!

Jeff is a really down to earth guy that feels more like your friend than a coach. He genuinely wants to see you succeed and provides you with the techniques and constructive criticism to improve. I have felt comfortable with him since day 1 and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an acting coach.

Mr. Berg has greatly helped me to understand the acting world, he can work at any pace you need and tailor your lessons to best fit your learning style. He is an unjudgmental and interesting guy who is a joy to work and converse with. Would definitely recommend you at least try out a consultation with him just to see what you are potentially missing out on with your learning journey into exploring acting as not only a hobby but also potentially a career.

So far Jeff had been great. He communicates alerts on time and work around ups schedule. Honestly the best acting coach by far.

Jeff is extremely relaxed and easy to connect with, yet gives you exactly what you want and need in an acting coach - quality instruction and honest, constructive feedback. I’ve learned a great deal in the few weeks we’ve been working together, and I look forward to working with him for a long time to come.
