My primary objective is to guide my students in uncovering the truth in their performances. This is where the magic resides, leading to life-altering and thought-provoking acting. My aim is to assist you in developing a profound comprehension of your craft so you can empower yourself during the process.
After graduating from Syracuse University with a BFA in Acting, I have since been living, working, and studying in New York City and Los Angeles. My experience spans Regional Theatre and TV/Film, while also encompassing Shakespeare, Dialects, Improv, and Stage Combat. I hold the belief that the extraordinary can manifest through a simple and repeatable process, coupled with unbridled instincts.
For my Public Speaking Students:
My approach to Public Speaking tuition is rooted in my experience as an Actor. Rather than focusing on an academic approach, which has the tendency to overburden students with cognitive activity, I endeavor to invoke vocal freedom. My students' joy during delivery is my top priority, which is cultivated by establishing a connection, finding positivity and humor, and shifting the focus from the Self. Our training usually starts with freeing your voice by expanding vocal expression and awareness, which gets you out of your mind and attuned to the present moment. I have trained students for presentations, interviews, podcasts, wedding speeches, Ted Talks, and more!
I am eager to understand you better and to best assist you in achieving your goals.

Working with Matt has been an incredible experience for me. Over the course of a few months, I have noticed a considerable improvement in my acting skills. I have started to take bold choices and surprise myself in the process. Matt is an extremely professional acting coach who teaches according to a proven process. What's impressive is that he never makes our sessions feel monotonous, like he has done this a thousand times before. All our communication outside of the sessions is easy and informative too. Matt is highly responsive and usually responds within a couple of hours. Furthermore, he is flexible and accommodating when it comes to rescheduling a session or changing the plan. I highly recommend Matt to anyone who wants to strengthen their acting abilities.

If you are seeking to enroll in acting classes and desire a remarkable instructor, search no further! Collaborating with Matt has been a joy. I have been learning from Matt for just over a month now and intend to continue without hesitation. Matt has guided me in learning how to showcase my acting abilities and how to analyze the text thoroughly for optimal results. By offering valuable guidance about the application process, I am hopeful about pursuing an MFA in acting as Matt has provided extensive support. Initiate your acting journey for any purpose- leisure or career enrichment- with Matt!

He is a thoughtful individual who desires the finest outcome for you. He possesses a genuine concern for your well-being and makes an effort to aid you in identifying what is advantageous for your acting endeavors. He is compassionate, non-judgmental, and strives to create a relaxed atmosphere. He encourages experimentation with unconventional hobbies that may be frowned upon by typical acting classes.
