I moved out to LA a couple years ago, and found myself lost in a sea of school and techniques, I quickly found myself with all my other ""actor"" friends sitting in a coffee shop talking about how much better we were than the people on the billboard above us. I started to do a lot of reading about different methods, I dabbled in new age acting, took a sip of performance art, and dove head first into Stanislavski. I dug on what Stanislavski was saying and followed his progression of thought through the teachers of the past into Strasberg, Adler and Meisner. I felt much had been lost through the years in Strasberg and Adler. I read ""Standford Meisner on Acting,"" and decided this was the type of class I wanted and needed. The tools and techniques that Meisner talked about I believed would make me a good a actor, and competitive in the world of Hollywood. I enrolled in Wayne's class about a year ago, and I have found it to be not only rewarding but also challenging. I have gone places that I didn't even know were possible. Through the work I have grown not only in my ability to act, but also personally. It has opened my eyes to all the little intricacies that are over looked by ""civilians,"" and made me aware of my own action's effects on people. As I stated before I took many classes and one of the biggest problem was that I lost in a sea of people, but with Wayne he keeps the class small and you get to perform twice each class. I recommend Wayne to all my friends who are still sitting under the billboards talking about why they are better, because he will give you the tools but the rest is up to what you do with them.
