Are you ready to fine-tune the way you approach
acting, performing, directing and entertaining?

Being talented and working hard are not always enough. There are times when anxiety, stage fright, the inability to get and stay in character, a lack of confidence, and the lack of truly connecting with a character get in the way of you giving your best performance.

If you're in the entertainment industry, you're in for something really special. I've created "ACT - Assisted Creativity Tune-Up" just for you. This isn't a prolonged study course. You don't have to commit to a three-month coaching program. This is a two-hour, exclusive, intense, and powerful time for you and me (and perhaps a small group of your other entertainment industry colleagues) to work on your mindset, attitude, and outlook FROM A PERFORMER'S OR DIRECTOR'S PERSPECTIVE.

If you're committed to start creating performances (in yourself and others) and impact like never before, I want to help you.

But first, here's a little background . . .

Some of my earliest memories are of the entertainment industry (my grandmother worked for Central Casting). My love of Batman was fueled by my uncle who worked on the 1960's television series. Eventually, I became enchanted by the stage and earned a minor in Theatre Arts and was put in charge of teaching acting classes. After college, I went to law school and obtained my doctorate. But, I'll admit it, I was hooked by the entertainment bug. So much so, in fact, that I went on to do additional coursework in directing and screenwriting at UCLA Extension-Entertainment Studies, American Film Institute, and Variety’s Showbiz University. Oh, I didn't give up the performing bug. I also studied magic and hypnosis and became a member of The Academy of Magical Arts (The Magic Castle in Hollywood) and obtained my certification in hypnotherapy from the United Kingdom Hypnotherapy Training College. I've spent additional time studying neurolinguistic programming, persuasion, and peak performance psychology. My wife and I also ran a community theatre company where I served as the primary playwright and director.

Now, there are some things I must tell you . . .

We begin with a 30-minute "get to know you" Zoom session. During this initial online interaction, we'll figure out where you are, where you want to go, and how I can help you.

Then, there is a two-hour Zoom session. This is consuming, emotional, and eye-opening. It's not an acting or directing class and it's not intended to replace anything your director or producer might need from you. Its purpose is to take you from where you are RIGHT NOW as a performer or director and give you "real world" tools and techniques to get you where your performance and mental attitude need to be.

This training is not available for people outside the entertainment industry. You can be just starting out in the industry or have a large resume. Either way, this is only for serious performers and directors who are intent on taking their craft, talents, and skills to the next level of achievement, audience appreciation, and personal satisfaction.

You will be getting personalized training and guidance from me 1:1 (through Zoom). (Depending on your location, we can also arrange an in -person session or for a small group of other actors or directors should you decide to include some of your colleagues.) That means this is going to require you to invest a lot of creative energy in our time together. You have to be open-minded, eager, and bring your best imagination skills with you.

During the two hours together, we'll spend time uncovering the obstacles you're facing as a performer or director, where you'd like to take your leadership and performance skills, and what you think is impossible to achieve (because we're going to work some magic together). Then, I'll use NLP, guided imagery, visualization, positive suggestions, and persuasion techniques to enhance what you already bring to the stage, screen, or radio.
