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!

FANTASTIC PODCAST/COACH

Jeff’s podcast/book/zoom podcast has come together to form an incredibly insightful training ground for myself and others around the world. I have felt my ability in simply reading through a script and understanding the circumstances and characters in real life terminology has strengthened myself in being confident to jump into a scene and let my impulses loose.
