"What sets David apart is his unique approach which empowers us to become our own teachers. His method transcends dominance and traditional tutelage, embracing instead a journey of self-discovery through thought-provoking questions and the pursuit of truth within each character. Working with David has been a profound privilege, as he has not only reignited my passion for acting, but also deepened my understanding of myself and the world around me.

“David is an absolutely brilliant teacher and a kind person. I have been receiving such a hilarious and deeply enriching education as an actor getting to work with him. He has such an astute understanding of language, teaching, story, and the human experience. Watching his students (myself included) evolve every week in such a supportive and expansive environment is the highlight of my week, every week. I could not recommend David's classes or his coaching more.

“What makes David so exceptional as a teacher is that he has a deep understanding of the actor. He is one of the few theatre practitioners that I have ever seen who truly understands what an actor needs.
