There's so much information out there about eye-lines, but most of it is technical! It doesn't feed you - you're literally staring at a dot! There's a whole whole skill out there and a way to make it personal and private so it feeds you .

Many people mistake "being in the moment " as sitting around as "you" - but that's you as you ! I want you to be in the moment as the CHARACTER with the circumstances of the SCRIPT! That's very different from being you!

An acting student turns up, listens, and waits for the teacher to change them.

An actor knows why they're here. They work on their scenes outside the room. They read plays. They show up having already started.

It's like the gym. Nobody gets strong by watching someone else lift. You get strong by lifting, again and again, even on the days it feels like nothing is changing.

At Melbourne Actors Lab, we build acting muscle and give you the tools for a real career, not a certificate.

Weekly classes in St Kilda: daytime, evening and Saturday.
Start with a $50 trial class. Link in bio, or DM me "ACTOR".

We face constant rejection so we must learn how to rediscover our passion for this - without it you'll either give up or start to diminish your goals. It's not arrogance , it's not ego - it's needed to get through it all so you can focus on the work.

I find many actors doing scenes and thinking of them "literally " - many acting exercises teach you things you may not be aware of right away till you get on a set ; relaxation teaches you focus - sensory how to make things personal and private - character work how not to play yourself all the time- and many more skills that I teach ! We build acting muscle!

Most people start "warm" and build up - I tell actors to start boiling !! You're already into the argument ! In the middle of the battle ! It will make your audition stand out !

You chose this career - why limit yourself. Going into it without serious skill puts you into that sea of dreamers who think it will just appear by magic ! It won't ! Get some acting skill behind you and Go Get It!

Stop destroying yourself in between gigs! It does way more damage than you think ! You lose confidence, flow , you get depressed , anxious - it's a dark abyss and they can feel it next time you audition / but above that it's unhealthy for you and the people around you !

Many people are wondering - who is this guy ? Where does he get his info from ? This isn't stuff I just made up overnight - this is decades of knowledge from some incredible sources. I always tell people - you should know where your teacher studied and who they've trained!
