weekly screen acting class

Join our Wednesday night class to sharpen your audition skills, build confidence, and grow as an actor. Each week you’ll work on new material across different genres, perform in a simulated audition, and receive footage the next day to review or share with agents and casting directors.

The best way to Describe Matt for me is that he has the character of Ted Lasso and the precision, Charm and Charisma of David Beckham!

I can't recommend a better teacher. Matt is wonderfully patient, skilled and has a huge wealth of knowledge that he generously shares.
