Testimonials

Since I started acting at the age of eight I’ve trained with approximately fifteen different acting coaches with various styles and techniques. Approximately seven years ago I began working with Rick and I’ve never looked back.

His wealth of knowledge in the acting world is unparalleled. But what drew me most to his coaching style was his unique approach to each individual actor. Something that has always bothered me as an actor, is coaches who teach one style, one technique and it’s their way or the highway; it can unfortunately be a very ego-driven business. Rick completely understands that there is more than one way for the actor to approach a role.

What Rick does is build you from the base up, there are no tricks to get results, he’s going to make you work; this way you’ll actually know and understand why you’re doing each step, building you towards being a confident, in-depth actor who isn’t completely lost when given a new direction and you don’t have an acting coach around to teach you how to do it. (Directors do not have time to teach -- something many actors starting out don’t understand. )

​

With personalized exercises and homework, he works with you to your strengths to get the best results. I have honestly never met a coach who understands as many approaches, I’ve found his skills to be invaluable. Rick has an unrivaled ability to both teach and then direct students to achieve their maximum potential. There were times that I would hit a block with my skills and I never felt worried, Rick always had a game plan for what we needed to be worked on in order to make me a stronger, more confident actor.

He’s always positive, and wants to make sure his students feel good about themselves and their craft, he truly cares. I personally look forward to working on many many more projects with Rick -- I’m always continuing to learn from him and it’s ALWAYS a positive experience.
