Voice & Narration Workshop -- Making People Listen
I've narrated documentaries, audiobooks, and the voice of God himself. The secret? Slow down, breathe deeply, and mean every word. We work on resonance, pacing, and the art of reading text as if you're discovering it for the first time. Tip: Read the sentence silently first. Feel it. THEN say it aloud.
Late-Career Acting Workshop -- Your Best Work Isn't Behind You
I became a star at fifty. Most people think their window closes at thirty. It doesn't. Maturity gives you gravity, and gravity is what holds a scene together. We work on presence, patience, and using your real age and experience as assets, not obstacles.
Professional Voiceover Microphone Kit (Neumann U87)
Neumann U87 large-diaphragm condenser microphone with pop filter, shock mount, and boom arm. This is the industry standard for voiceover work. Warm, detailed, forgiving. Treat it with respect -- this microphone costs more than most used cars.
Screen Coolness Workshop -- Less Is More, Period
I cut half my lines from every script. The directors hated it. The audience loved it. I teach you the Meisner principle applied to film: react truthfully, say only what's essential, and let your face do the work. Tip: If you can say it with a look, don't say it with words.
Motorcycle Maintenance Workshop -- Wrench Your Own Bike
I rebuilt engines in my garage between films. A rider who can't fix their own bike is a passenger, not a rider. We cover oil changes, chain adjustment, brake bleeding, and carburetor tuning on a vintage British twin. Bring old clothes.
Musical Film History Screening & Discussion
We screen one of the great musicals -- Singin' in the Rain, An American in Paris, On the Town, or West Side Story -- and I break down the choreography, camera work, and directorial decisions. Small group, max 10. Come ready to discuss how dance tells story.
Top Hat & Tails Costume Set (Screen-Quality Formal Wear)
White tie and tails, silk top hat, white gloves, patent leather shoes, and walking cane. The complete Fred Astaire look from Top Hat. Every piece is dance-functional -- the jacket moves with you, the shoes are flexible, the hat stays on during spins. Tip: Formal wear should make you stand straighter. If it doesn't, it doesn't fit.
1930s Dance Costume Collection (Gowns, Heels, Feathers)
Three replica gowns from the Astaire-Rogers films: the feathered dress from Top Hat (it shed everywhere -- Fred hated it and I loved it), the satin from Swing Time, and the beaded from Shall We Dance. Includes matching dance heels. Handle with care -- the beading is hand-sewn.
Action Film Preparation Workshop -- Body as Weapon
For The Matrix, I trained four months. For John Wick, six months. I teach you the actor's approach to combat training: not to fight, but to look like you've been fighting your whole life. Jiu-jitsu, judo throws, gun handling, and the physical stamina to do take after take. Tip: Train until the movement disappears and only the character remains.
Line Mastery Workshop -- 200 Reads and Freedom
My technique is brutally simple: read your script 200 times. Not 50. Not 100. Two hundred. By read 150, the words dissolve into your nervous system. By read 200, you're free to play. We work on a five-page scene in this session. You'll read it aloud until it transforms. Tip: Boredom is the gateway to mastery. Push through it.
Shakespeare Intensive -- King Lear and the Weight of Language
I've played Lear, Othello, Prospero, and Antony. Shakespeare terrifies actors because the language is dense. I teach you to find the human being inside the verse. We work on one soliloquy -- breath, thought, emotion, and the moment where the character breaks through the poetry. Tip: Shakespeare wrote for actors, not scholars. Speak it like a human being.
Representation in Film Workshop -- Fighting for the Role
I fought Hollywood's stereotypes for forty years. Sometimes I won. Sometimes I took the role anyway and subverted it from inside. This workshop is about navigating an industry that doesn't see you -- how to advocate for yourself, how to find humanity in limited scripts, and how to build a career when the system is designed to exclude you. Tip: Your anger is valid. Channel it into the work.
