  • Straight to it!

    It is so refreshing to hear an acting coach speak in a way that makes instant sense. Pretty much every other class I've taken seems to have elements of instruction that are intangible and vague and mysterious. I like how he brings humour and humility to the topics. The episodes are succinct and consumable which makes me come back and listen to them again when I need a reminder! Solid stuff!

  • Straight to the point and good advice

    I love Jeff’s no nonsense approach to the craft of acting. He provides a demystified point of view that is often lacking in acting training. His dry humor is also great! Jeff has a ton of experience in the industry and he shares real life anecdotes from what he sees other actors struggling with and talks us through how to approach similar issues by changing our perspective from acting to real life and allowing that to inform performance.
