Coherer & Detector Collection (Replicas)
Early radio detectors: Branly coherer, magnetic detector, crystal detector. Each a step in the evolution of radio reception. The coherer -- a tube of metal filings that clumps when radio waves hit it -- is crude and brilliant.
Public Speaking Masterclass -- The Voice That Cannot Be Ignored
Whether you're addressing a boardroom or a protest march, your voice must carry conviction. I'll teach you pacing, breath control, and how to land a sentence so it stays in the room after you've left. Harry and I spoke at the March on Washington. The microphone helps, but the message does the work.
Film Directing Fundamentals -- Telling the Story Through the Lens
I directed nine films. The trick is knowing what the camera should see versus what the audience should feel. Those are often different things. We work on shot selection, actor direction, and visual storytelling. Bring a short script and we'll storyboard it together.
Single Combat Workshop -- The Duel
One-on-one combat with spear, sword, and shield. The Homeric duel: trash talk, javelin throw, close with swords, finish the job. I fought the greatest warriors of Troy in single combat and never lost. Tip: Study your opponent before you fight him. Watch how he moves, which foot he leads with, where his shield drops.
Dialect & Accent Coaching -- From Caribbean to Classical
I rebuilt my voice from a thick Bahamian accent to classical American diction. I can teach you to do the same with any accent. We work on vowel placement, consonant precision, and rhythm. The goal isn't to erase where you're from -- it's to choose how you sound for each role.
Commanding the Room -- Presence and Dignity on Screen
I teach you to walk into a scene and own it without raising your voice or clenching your fist. Power isn't volume. It's stillness when everyone else is shouting. We work on posture, eye contact, and the silence between words. Tip: Before you say your first line, stand still for three seconds. Let the audience come to you.
Pelian Ash Spear (Replica of Achilles' Spear)
The Pelian ash spear -- cut from a tree on Mount Pelion by the centaur Chiron. No other Greek at Troy could wield it. This replica is 9 feet of ash with a bronze head. Heavy, meant for a warrior who fights from the front. I killed Hector with a spear like this, through the gap in his throat armor.
Bronze Cuirass & Greaves (Mycenaean Style)
Beaten bronze cuirass (breastplate and backplate), bronze greaves, and boar's tusk helmet. Mycenaean warrior gear from the age of heroes. The bronze is functional -- it stops a blade. The boar's tusk helmet took hundreds of tusks to make. Wear it and feel what my warriors wore on the plains of Troy.
Singing Coaching -- Finding Your Breathy Best
I sang Happy Birthday to a president and Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend to the world. My voice wasn't perfect -- it was MINE. I teach you to stop imitating and start expressing. We work on breath control, phrasing, and emotional delivery. You don't need range. You need truth.
Double Envelopment Strategy Workshop -- Cannae Method
The battle of Cannae, 216 BC. I let Rome push through my center while my wings closed like a jaw. 70,000 Romans died in one afternoon. Sand table exercises and field simulations. Tip: Invite the enemy to attack where you are weakest. That is where the trap lives.
Camera Confidence Workshop -- Owning the Lens
The camera is not your enemy. It's your best friend -- the one who sees everything and forgives everything. I teach you how to find your light, your angle, and your truth. We work with a live camera feed so you can see yourself the way the audience sees you.
Tanegashima Matchlock Musket (Replica)
Japanese matchlock musket, based on Portuguese originals that arrived in 1543 -- the year I was born. Within 50 years, Japan had more firearms than any country in Europe. At Sekigahara, guns decided the battle. This replica fires black powder blanks for demonstration.
