Customer Reviews
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.
A Breath Of Fresh Air.
Thank you Mr. Seymour! I’m a 19 year old actor in college and the way we’re taught as always confused me. Acting should be so complex. And your direction has lead me to become a much better artist. Thanks again! :)
Keeps my head in the Game!
I love how Jeffrey explains so well the way an actor should work and focus on being themselves rather than planning to do the right thing. Very refreshing material!
