" Such an amazing, thoughtful, kind and patient actor. Robert gave me the most brilliant notes, helped me get deeper and more connected with my scene, and helped me have fun! His energy and spirit is infectious and he brings so much wisdom. Thank you so much!!! " ~ Stephanie Wong
" Robert is my new favorite reader and coach!!!! He is an amazing cold reader, a fantastic scene partner and gave notes only when requested which actually were the perfect notes that made the scene a take :) I can't wait to work with him again and see what magic he conjures again! " ~ Deborah S. Craig
I love helping actors bring their best authentic selves to their performances and give them a scene partner/reader that engages them so the scene feels alive! I know this may not be for everyone but if it's one you're looking for let's connect and have some fun!
