'Sally Jackson, he says hello and thank you for instilling the art of acting in Hawaii.''

Do you know who this is? You should. He is the one and only Konstantin Stanislavski

If you want to understand how to create a character, and become a more truthful actor, studying Stanislavski is always going to help you unlock those skills, and take your training to the next level!

Shakespeare

I love to coach actors for his plays. It's one of my favorite things to do.

Who is your favorite comedian? Here's mine.

I had great teachers for stand-up and comedy improv (The Groundlings).

I did stand-up at the clubs in Hollywood, Texas, Honolulu and now in San Jose CA.

Which one of these do you love to do most? Drama, Shakespeare, RomComs, stand-up?

I can help you with all of them.

One thing is the same in all of them:

Just get up off your ass and do something!

If you want to play with the big dogs, you've got to get up off the porch.

I was a regular in Hollywood at The Belly Room/The Comedy Store, The Improv on Melrose, The HaHa and The Ice House in Pasadena. In Austin, I hosted at The Velveeta Room on 6th Street and here in Hawaii at O'Toole's, Anna O'Brien's, and Square Barrels.

Sometimes a 'showrunner' will want you to do a promo video for marketing the show. Here's my last one for my gig at The BlueNote...

It's a tough business.

Ever feel like this?

SCRIPT DOCTOR/Character Development

My history in the motion picture industry is based in finding actors who can express a truthfulness and edge that puts the audience on the edges of their seats and causes them to lose themselves in the world of the story. So, it figures that my expertise in helping script writers lies in defining and rounding out characters.

I have worked for, and with legends, while casting for film and television. I learned from them the keys to making great stories come alive with characters who live the human condition to its nth degree.

What are these conditions? Well, you’ll have to pay me for that knowledge. I don’t work for free.

Dialogue and co-writing

Rate is dependent on length of the project and amount of involvement on my end.

Characters can be developed through dialogue, set dressing, wardrobe and physical appearance. Of course, all of that matters…but mean nothing if the audience cannot relate and connect with the character on a human, emotional, archetypal level. How do you do that? Knowing how to create a character that is alive and vibrant in the world of the story is my gift. Whether evil or angelic in nature, the beauty is in the flaw.
