I was reading an acting blog today, and the writer had talked about a class they were currently doing in LA. I got a thought that I should go online and do a little research to find some good acting coaches for my level. I have the TV on in the background, tuned to the marathon session of "America's Next Top Model" (of course) and who comes on the TV as a special guest 1 second after I go to Google to start my search? None other than Alice Spivak, one of the most revered and celebrated acting coaches in NY. Holy crap- that coincidence made me excited!
Part of my inspiration for looking at acting coaches is my good friend, Dennis, who is on the short list to work with legendary coach Michael Howard. It got me to thinking about how, no matter what level you are at, you should surround yourself with those who are better, stronger, and have something to teach you. I have been teaching for so long that I have somehow gotten away from being a student. Getting back into class can only support my efforts as a coach, as an actor, and a human being, so I am very interested as I start the search.
