“The thing that makes Jeffrey stand out to me is how good he is at bringing out YOUR brilliance. He doesn’t impose anything but instead, like any good teacher, helps you discover your own excellence. His coaching is insightful, deeply useful, expertly tailored to YOU.”

Lyra Butler-Denman. Actor/Dance Artist.

“One of the best acting classes I’ve been to in quite a while. And I studied with Uta/AADA/Meisner and Actors from The Actor’s Studio in NY. I know a thing or two about acting classes.”

Take part from anywhere

The brilliant thing about the Internet is that we can connect and collaborate from anywhere. The following online experiences are offered as short-form, beginner friendly, economically accessible learning opportunities. They are also designed around the areas I have noticed even working actors struggle with the most.

If you would like to dip your toes into actor training, or sample my work as a teacher, consider getting a taste with one of these!

Choosing Monologues That Serve You

Where to look. How to look. Reliable Do’s and Don’ts. Every working actor should have at least four optional monologues prepared and ready to wow when the need arises. But where do you begin? This course is all about the essential considerations for choosing monologues that serve the actor you are, and aim to be.
