Barry’s Coaching Philosophy
My philosophy is not to teach acting but how to use your acting skills to help you book the job. I focus on helping the student make strong choices that the others auditioning might not think of.
To make their auditions memorable and special. The idea is that it’s not just about this audition but helping the student get more auditions.
