Offered both in person and online, these live group opportunities offer the chance to learn and grow with the support of peers with similar goals, interests, and background. A variety of courses for both performers and non-performers alike, all sessions culminate with an opportunity to showcase skills achieved either during a regular class session or through a live-streamed performance that can be shared with friends, family, and industry professionals.
Live Classes & Workshops
Held exclusively online, these one-on-one sessions are geared to the specific needs of the student. For performers, these sessions hone acting and vocal skills for healthy production and in-depth interpretation. For non-performers or performers seeking life and career balance, these sessions utilize the T.R.U.S.T. Principle ™ to unpack and unlock the potential of truthful communication and self-confidence.
Private Sessions
Coming to AFYL in the Fall of 2025, our online conservatory offers classes where you can study at your own pace. Through a mix of weekly live meetings, recorded sessions, audition and interview simulations, and digital workbooks, participants can gain the knowledge and experience of our teaching team from the comfort of their own home or office.

Experience and Results
Welcome to Acting For Your Life!
Since founding this transformative program in 2005, I have seen countless individuals flourish by applying the principles of acting to their everyday lives. My goal is to help you unlock your inner potential, improve your communication skills, and foster authentic connections with others.

Principle ™, a program I developed from over 30 years professional experience as an actor and director, you'll learn valuable techniques that empower you to face challenges head-on. The individual experience you bring to each session informs our work and in a safe and supportive environment. Whether as a private student, through an online workshop, or an in-person experience - let's celebrate your success together!
I look forward to meeting and working with you,
