From our first meeting, I knew Matt would be an actor’s director. He speaks from the very unique vantage point of being both an educator and a practitioner, and his advice always comes from a place of not only having directed it, but also having done it himself. Matt is a sensitive, patient, and enthusiastic artist who always bring an extremely dedicated level of preparation to his work and a willingness to go above and beyond to achieve what he’s going after. While working with him on the movie “Face 2 Face”, I always felt like I was in safe hands and that I was learning something new about acting in addition to just playing the part. I highly recommend taking advantage of any opportunity to work with Matt and to pick his brain as much as you can about theater, film, and making a life as an artist. -- DAN AMERMAN (Arrested Development, The Office, Glee)
“Matt is probably the most enthusiastic and passionate acting teacher I’ve ever had, in the absolute best way. His love for acting/actors radiates throughout every lesson, and he 100% believes in the ability of every single one of his students. Matt is the kind of acting teacher who will force you out of comfort zone, who will call you on your sh*t, and who doesn’t let a single false moment go unnoticed... all without an ounce of judgement. If you’re interested in getting back to mastering the basics, Matt’s class is where it’s at. There’s not a single class in LA like it.” -- DAYNE CATALANO
"Matt is amazing at zeroing in on what I need to make my acting go to the next level and beyond. Matt is energetic and has a fun way of working with you that stretches you towards your full potential. I highly recommend his classes." -- KAREN FLATHERS
This class has made me realize how important it is to listen on stage and screen. I believe that this class has helped me grow as an artist... Not all teachers can pick up on all the bull you try to pull, but with Matt's intensive concentration he doesn't let anything slide. But the great thing is, when he calls you on it, he also lets you figure it out on your own. -- FEYROUZ HASSAN
Everything made sense! Matt breaks down the process to the very root of acting. I understood everything even though English is not my first language. I really recommend his class if you want to go deeper with your craft.
The way he shares his acting knowledge is unique and inspiring. -- CHIKA MIYAHARA
