I studied with Michael in person years ago and he truly opened me as a performer like no other teacher has. It's been such a gift during this pandemic to be able to study with Michael again over zoom....that never would have happened with us living in separate cities. Michael truly cares about the people that study with him and I always feel supported while working with him. If you want a no nonsense approach to acting, which centres on emotional truth, authenticity and true engagement with your scene partners.....look no further.

Michael offered a FREE drop-in class for actors every Friday evening throughout most of the pandemic in 2020 - this is how much he CARES about actors and acting. He offered these sessions for no other reason than to give fellow actors a safe space to work on their craft. He is an entirely selfless teacher, extremely charismatic and enthusiastic, and I always got the sense he cares deeply about acting, art, and his students. I hope I get the chance to work with him again one day soon. I saw him work with actors of all levels over zoom - he knows how to push the seasoned actor (gently and with compassion) and I definitely recommended his class for beginners, too.
Whether you are a beginner or a professional, Michael will make you the best actor you can be. If you live in Vancouver I highly recommend his in-person classes which are currently held in full compliance with Covid-19 protocols. If you live elsewhere do not miss the opportunity to work with him and sign up for his online lessons on Zoom. Thanks to his bombproof technique, called \The process\, that Michael teaches will allow you to explore all your possibilities as an actor in a safe environment full of passion and fun. On your side, you have to put in hard work and perseverance. Every 5 classes in-person, there is one dedicated exclusively to the skills needed in the auditions.
Michael is one of the most amazing human being I've ever seen. And as teacher he has his way to make you discover your self and your abilities to be the best you can. Working with him for a year now is one of the most valuable experience I've ever had as an actor and human. He is the first teacher I met taking about how and what to do ever day as an actor to improve. Highly recommended his workshop.
I've studied with Michael many years ago and it was an important experience for me, but was able to return more recently over Zoom (and in person), which has been such a comfort especially while the world has collapsed all around us. He pushes for emotional truth and authenticity and relies on a rehearsal process that empowers actors to re-produce results over and over and develop tools that allow them to become better actors without merely relying on a teacher to direct them towards a certain end result.
