Introduction: I grew up in the Theater, literally, both of my parents are professional actors and professors of acting. I have been observing and studying the craft my whole life, and went to Temple University to get my undergraduate degree in acting and Wayne State for my masters in performing arts. I believe that the heart of acting is sincerity and imagination and if you can tap into that then anything is possible.

James is an extremely sensitive and compassionate teacher who has utmost faith the ability of his students and the skills to make them realize their potential. I have continued to use the skills I learned from James and they helped me get cast in three upcoming shows in Ontario. I highly recommend his teaching -- what you will learn will last a lifetime.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I understand the difficulties of being an actor and still wanting to get better so I would say my pricing is considerate : ) If you have a scene partner you want to work with I am happy to work out a deal between multiple individuals. You will find I am very understanding, so just ask.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It's all about being comfortable! Comfortable with new people, comfortable in your skin. When you are at ease that is when the true personality shines and the work can begin. So I work on helping you understand who you are and how you can bring that to your work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an undergraduate degree from Temple University as well as my Master's in Performance from Wayne State University. I have a lifetime in the theater and 10 years of training.
