I've done it all. I'm a lifelong actor, so I know what it's like to chase your dream. I believe in the actor's tool-belt - studying everything you can and adding to your arsenal. This is a craft, and we should be constantly growing. In that chase, I've studied whatever I could find, including Method, Meisner, Viewpoints, Suzuki & Stella Adler, just to name a few. And I know you have a million options of teachers in Los Angeles, trust me, I've studied with a lot of them. My goal as a teacher & coach is to speak to you with the language you are most comfortable. Haven't found one yet? I'll help you find what works for you. I believe in helping actors find their version of a role. Nobody wants you to come in trying to be something else, so make sure your auditions reflect what you bring to the table. My job is to raise your game to the next level, not make you become something you're not. My years in the industry have granted me insight into scripts. I can quickly break down a scene, finding what makes a character tick and how it fits. Let me use that skill to make your auditions the best they can be. Or, if you join the ongoing class, let me teach you how to develop those skills yourself. I'm here to help you book. Whenever you need me. |

"David is one of the most encouraging coaches I've ever worked with. He focuses on your strengths and what makes you uniquely you. After coaching with David, I always walk out knowing that I will kill any audition I go on. I recently had a last minute taping with David for a complicated role but I knew because I was working with him, it would go smoothly and it did. I was immediately pinned for this leading role in a series." - BREA GRANT

"David was such an insightful and fun coach! He didn’t just give me cookie cutter choices. He helped me really put myself into every scene. I left our session feeling confident and prepared... like I had new tools to use in the future." |
|
"I came to David after being away from the camera for 25 years. I had to put myself on tape - and this concept was completely new to me. I arrived, we talked, he calmed me down, and the fun began. I do mean FUN. David has a lightness and a knowing about him that made me trust him immediately. We very quickly had gotten a hold of the character and were now playing. That's what acting is - play. And David helped me remember that. He also helped me book the part! Two episodes, right out of the gate. I recommend him because he gets the job done, and gets you the job! - CREE SUMMER (What We Do In the Shadows, Better Things, Black Sugar, Guardians of the Galaxy, Voltron, A Different World) |

"Especially when I have trouble getting my head around a character or scene, I call David. His years of study and work experience are clear in his ability to utilize different techniques to help you find the best approach. After a session with him, I go in with confidence in choices and character, and have received excellent feedback. He will continue to be on speed-dial as I've been getting busier and busier reading larger roles in bigger offices..." |

"David is one of the most natural actors I've ever worked with. He is able to articulately break down a scene with me in minutes and guide me towards finding more depth and drive within my character. I always feel more confident and prepared after coaching with him. Do it. You'll be better with Blue." |

"Since taking your audition class I booked a super bowl commercial, had a showrunner’s meeting, audition, a callback/chemistry test for the show you coached me on, and got pinned for a small role on a pilot. |
|
"Do not come to David if you're not ready to work! Since I started coaching with him, I've gone from booking co-stars to recurring guests. He's a whiz at breaking down a scene and will always find ways to bring out your personality while being true to the character and text. He's super supportive, but will also push you to be your best. I can't recommend him enough!" |
|
"I get amazing Casting Director feedback from every audition that I coach with David. He just knows his stuff. He works with you on how you see the character. His script analysis & breakdown is always spot on. I loved his coaching so much, I also joined his class! The actor I was before I started classes with him, to now, is almost unrecognizable. He gives you challenging work that constantly pushes your acting ability. I recommend his classes any chance I get. JUST DO IT!" |
|
"David is amazing at approaching a script & breaking down a scene in a way that puts it in a new perspective. It allowed me to understand the character at a depth I hadn't seen before. He showed me how to really get into my character's headspace. Working with him puts me at ease so that I can easily focus on the work and stay present." |
|
"Not only is David a fantastic actor, but his coaching is top notch. I was really impressed with how quickly he can break down a script & character and found nuances that would have taken me awhile to find or I may not have found without his help. I booked the first co-star role that David coached me on and my manager has been super excited about the two self-tapes that I coached with David. She said it was 'like I have been a series regular on 3 shows now.'" |
|
"I knew after just one class that I'd found exactly what I needed. No matter where you are in your acting life, David meets you right there. He's a pro at keeping his students moving towards their goals, always abreast of the latest tools and information. Class with David is fun, yet challenging. He's exceedingly knowledgeable, he genuinely wants to help actors and, best of all, he's one of us." |

"David's class is inspiring and motivating, while not letting you get away with those pesky bad habits you've probably picked up along the years. You'll feel supported and challenged in his class. Definitely great for all stages of your career!" |
