An acting class with kick in Los Angeles and San Francisco
"Andrew is the real deal! I've been around professional theater and film acting for 10 years, my daughter is a professional actor, I've been in all the major Los Angeles studios and up close watching directors work with actors as they film scenes for highly rated TV shows. What Andrew is teaching is the most effective training and directing I've ever seen. Andrew has the knowledge, experience, and practice to help any actor improve and succeed in acting. Andrew is gifted at helping you (the actor) find your way to communicating and connecting with your scene environment, your scene partner, and ultimately your audience. His class requires hard work because that's what it takes to be good at the craft of acting. A significant out of class rehearsal and development effort is needed if you're going to get the most out of the class. Like high performing athletes, the performance time is really just where you show everyone what you've been doing in practice, so lots of rehearsal time is required. That's just the reality of doing anything well. I will take his class again!---Bill Fehr, Actor
10
weeks. 3 hours weekly. $380. Take an acting class in Los Angeles/Hollywood or San Francisco and learn the acting technique I encountered
as a directing student at the Yale School of Drama.
The technique
is based on the work of the most influential acting teacher
of all time, Konstantin Stanislavsky. But it's Stanislavsky
with the kinks ironed out and the practical questions answered.
Want powerful,
practical tools for creating truthful performances that matter?

Mother of Invention Acting School students go on to
do great things! One San Francisco student got a speaking part in Gus van Sant's Academy Award winner "Milk." Read about it here.
And here is a podcast produced about the acting class for the site NedPR, a Forum for Creativity.
And speaking of testimonials, this just in: acclaimed playwright Liz
Duffy Adams, a member of New Dramatists in New York, whose
plays (Dog Act, One Big Lie, The Train Play) have received fine
productions around the country in the last few years, has proffered
the following: "Andrew
is one of the sharpest, most inspiring and galvanizing people I
know. I trained as an actor in the experimental theater, so I tend
to be wary of Stanislavsky-based methods-- but Andrew brilliantly
mines that tradition to help actors bring characters to vivid,
theatrically compelling life. I highly recommend him."

“Life’s
splendor forever
lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from
view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile,
not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right
name, it will come.”
~Kafka
