About Billy
We work to make acting easy. Let’s face it, if it’s hard for you to do it...its hard for people to watch it. By utilizing understanding of brain physiology/psychology we unblock an actors instincts. When the actor discovers the audience discovers. We love dangerous and unpredictable actors and are bored by safe actors. So we make acting more like life to make it more life-like.
Watching lightbulbs go on in an actors mind and understanding how their process parallels life and our social interactions is energizing for me. I also love to hear about bookings. Making money, getting accolades and respect is the confirmation that you are bringing value to the world through your talent, That’s magic.
After studying in various classes for years and working in the industry, teachers started asking me to teach. Actors started requesting my classes. After a while I realized I could make actors better much more quickly if I did not have the restrictions of the other teaching systems. So I started my own talent development studio in 1999.
I have a BA in Theatre Arts, post graduate psychology study, have been acting for 40 years and still work regularly. I have been teaching for 20 years and have trained countless working actors. I also worked as a session runner for auditions and have seen thousands in my lifetime so I can tell you why actors bomb auditions or knock it out of the park. I also have produced, directed and sold screenplays.

We bring a new student in and quickly assess where they are in the process of their work(New, working, masters that need challenge or refinement). Then we give the actor material/sides to use. We work on camera and then watch it back to see and show how we can help. It’s painless, fun and very illuminating. The camera is the best teacher.
Beginners, working actors and familiar faces who need help with potentially life changing auditions.
The industry changes dramatically every year now. Teachers who are not also working as actors should be suspect. You don’t want to learn what actors did 20 years ago.
I love when an actor is working in class and I find a simple insight that allows them to suddenly feel a wave of emotion. It happens often and often in their first class.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Your teacher is going to be like a therapist. Find one that you trust and feel comfortable with but who has the courage to challenge your fears and build your confidence.

Let’s make this simple. The first class is free so you can test the waters. Then its $50- per class. If you show up you pay. If for any reason you can’t make it or I am working on a film or TV show, you don’t pay. If you want to get better faster you can schedule 1 hour private sessions for $150-. If you schedule regular private sessions your rate goes down per session.
