Comedy Timing Workshop -- The Art of the Pause
Comedy lives in the silence between lines. I teach you where to breathe, where to look, and where to let the audience catch up. We study Some Like It Hot and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes frame by frame. Tip: If you're rushing the punchline, you don't trust the joke.
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.
Samurai Screen Combat Workshop -- The Way of the Blade
Katana work for film. Proper draw, strike, and resheath. We use bokken (wooden swords) first, then move to iaito (blunt steel). I'll teach you the difference between real kenjutsu and what looks good on camera. Kurosawa insisted on realism -- the audience can feel a fake swing. Tip: Speed comes from relaxation, not tension.
Samurai Armor Set (Reproduction Do, Kabuto, Menpo)
Full reproduction samurai armor: chest plate (do), helmet (kabuto), and face guard (menpo). I wore gear like this in Throne of Blood and Samurai Trilogy. It changes how you stand, walk, and breathe. Tip: Wear it for an hour before filming -- let your body adapt so the armor disappears.
Watercolor & Ink Set (Kurosawa's Storyboard Kit)
Professional watercolor set, sumi ink, and 50 sheets of storyboard paper with the frame templates I used. This is the exact setup for the Ran storyboards now in museums. Tip: Use big brushes. Small brushes make you fussy. Cinema is bold.
Stage-to-Screen Acting Workshop -- Projecting Without Shouting
I started on Broadway and moved to Hollywood. The transition destroys most actors -- they're either too big for camera or too small for stage. I teach you to calibrate. Same truth, different volume. Tip: On stage, your eyes reach the back row. On camera, your thoughts do.
Character Wardrobe Kit (Taxi Driver Era)
Army surplus jacket, aviator sunglasses, boots, and the mohawk wig. Travis Bickle's wardrobe tells his whole story before he opens his mouth -- military discipline decaying into isolation. Tip: A character's clothes are their armor. Choose every piece deliberately.
Monologue Coaching -- One Voice, Full Room
Audition monologue, film monologue, stage monologue -- each needs different calibration. I'll coach your piece line by line. We work on breath, beats, subtext, and the moment you stop performing and start LIVING the text. Tip: The best monologue sounds like a conversation with someone who isn't there.
Character Empathy Workshop -- Becoming Someone You're Not
The hardest characters are the ones you disagree with. I teach you to find the humanity in ANYONE -- a cruel mother, a fascist collaborator, a bitter editor. We don't judge characters. We understand them. That understanding IS the performance. Tip: Ask 'Why does this person think they're right?' and you've found the character.
Commanding Presence Masterclass -- Owning Every Room
Whether it's a boardroom, a courtroom, or a battlefield, I teach you to walk in like you belong. We work on voice projection, stillness under pressure, and the art of the deliberate pause. Tip: Don't rush. The audience waits for you. You don't wait for the audience.
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.
Partner Dance Workshop -- The Art of Following
Everyone wants to learn to lead. Nobody teaches you to follow brilliantly. Following is interpretation in real time -- you feel the lead's intention through your frame and translate it into movement, often in reverse, often in heels. We work on frame, connection, and musical sensitivity. Tip: The best follower makes every leader feel like a genius.
