David's Philosophy

Actor have within them one or more 'ways of being' that come easily, and that are fascinatingly real. With specific process-work these become easier to access and can bring authenticity and real feeling to any story they are part of. These 'ways of being' are always present, when actors shine, when they say 'the part was made for you'

I don't know of any great screen actor who doesn't employ this ability.

Through this course, we identify aspects of each actor's personality that translate powerfully to the screen.
