The Trained Actor

A long time ago I was a student about to take the first step into the collegiate halls of study. "What's your major?" came thundering at me from the guidance officer... I had to think, and think fast. Then I saw it in blazing letters, 1000 feet high: THEATER! From then on I decided that being an actor is truly what I want to be. Correction, a Well Trained Actor!

The Guide To University Theatre Programs This is where it all started. How to get your University-based training started.

About The Trained Actor
Just want to know a little more about me? Sure, I can tell you tales that will curl your toes... Sit back and take a load off.

Then time goes around and I am in L.A. making my start on the toughest career choice I could have chosen for myself. I look around and see many others just getting their start, with little or no training at all. I decided to help. And so The Trained Actor was born. This site brings together my insight and experience from 16 years of training and learning. An actor never stops learning. Either you are learning your craft or practicing your craft. Remember that.
