COMMENTS FROM FORMER STUDENTS:
"David is a breath of fresh air. A working actor with no ego or bitterness, he is encouraging and passes on his confidence and insight from the frontlines in front of the camera and behind. Anyone who chooses to study with him will benefit from his experience and enthusiasm."
-- John Patterson
"David does a great job of giving an actor a concise usable "system" that can be applied to any audition or role...He focuses on what's "playable" by an actor, and eliminates a lot of the confusion when first approaching a scene...."
-- Eddie Alfano
"David teaches with specificity, honesty, and great insight, particularly because of his knowledge as a working actor and a creative behind-the-scenes. He knows what works. He is also compassionate, respectful, and great fun to work with. This is a wonderful opportunity to hone your skills with someone who knows what he's talking about."
-- Jonathan Gibson
"David's class was just the pick-me-up I needed to jumpstart my acting career. His direction is insightful and studying the craft of acting with him is a joy. David is a breath of fresh air in a city that often stinks!"
-- Jamie Liles
“There are four major skills that every professional actor has to have in order to shine in an audition and then perform well on a set. They are surprisingly simple, but do require some practice… ‘Technique’ should never feel like a straight jacket; it should free you up and reconnect you to your talent... Bottom line: there are only two things that will ultimately sell you as an artist: The quality of your imagination and your ability to access it… No matter where you are on your path, you can always increase your skill. You can always get better. -- DDB”
