“Adam’s superpower is his humanity. He will push you and challenge you in a way that makes you believe you can go there. This business can get in your head and he knows how to quiet those voices so you can get back to the business of acting. He makes you do the work, while reminding you it’s play.”

“Over the last 30 years, I’ve studied with many great, even famous teachers. One would think that there’s not much else to learn at this point, but how wrong I was. Adam has shown me that there’s just no ceiling to the creative discoveries that can be made as an actor. He emphasizes the value of play so that the process is fun, to take risks, to forget about failing and just go for it. He always reminds me that if my choices don’t excite me or seem fun, then I’m headed in the wrong direction. Every Wednesday night I walk out of class completely inspired.”

“Adam’s class has been a sanctuary for me; a place to stretch. A place where I know I will get called out for getting my own way. I’m so grateful to have a coach who pushes me all the while encouraging and supporting me. In his own words, he’s shown me the doors so that I could walk through them, and in doing so he’s given me confidence in my craft and changed my career.”

“I first met Adam many years ago in acting class, where I had the pleasure of watching his incredible depth and range on stage weekly. Over the last several years, I’ve seen Adam use his wealth of knowledge and experience to help his fellow actors. Having taken Adam’s class, as well as coaching privately with him, I always come away with what I refer to as ‘little nuggets of gold.’ No matter how confident I feel in a role for an audition, or if it’s something I’ve booked…working with Adam helps me expand and see things from a different perspective with a fresh set of eyes. I deeply value the insight Adam brings to the table each and every time we work together.”

“I’ve been in acting classes for over 25 years, and it’s beyond rare to find the unique combination of wisdom, support, attention, and expertise that Adam offers. A talented, working actor himself, he has the ability to meld his gift for teaching with years of knowledge and guidance from his industry experience. He embodies self discipline, professionalism, and commitment to the work, and that ethic creates an immaculate space for development, practice, and growth. Whole heartedly committed to each student’s individual journey, he consistently offers nuanced and insightful direction with a compassionate understanding of habits and behavior, clear communication, and confidence in each student’s unique ability. Studying with Adam is an absolute gift.”

“I was finding myself lost and unfocused in a career that has spanned several decades. I am so grateful to Adam for his talent, insight, and generosity as a coach. My auditions and work have been richer and as a result I am not only working, but feeling good about what is ahead. We are not meant to be on this journey alone.”

“As actors we always have to keep training and stay connected to our craft. I’ve been taking Adam’s classes for the last 4 years and I’ve felt more connected to work than ever. Thanks to him I’ve been able to consistently work and book parts such as Ted Lasso and Jack Ryan.”

“Adam approaches auditions and scene work in such a well-rounded way. He helps me delve into detail with character work and has given me specificity that I’ve never had before.”

“…he pushes me to be better, knows my strengths & weaknesses, and brings out the absolute best in his students. His honesty, empathy, and love of the craft is second to none. He makes me love acting again whenever I am in class. He is everything you need in a teacher or a coach.”

“Adam is one of those rare geniuses unhampered by ego. Every time I work with him, he brings out my most authentic performance. His eye for story and integrating your idiosyncrasies as a performer in a way that supports the truth of a scene is uncanny. I always get callbacks, pins, and/or bookings when I tape with Adam. He also happens to be a wonderful human being. I just can’t recommend him highly enough.”
Caroline Day
Billions, The Goldfinch, Scandal
“Adam is an amazing teacher. He is incredibly skilled at finding what you specifically bring to the craft and helping you to harness that. He gives you the freedom to express yourself and a safe environment to explore your artistry. Can’t recommend him enough!”

“After graduating from NYU and moving to Los Angeles, I was looking for a class to keep my skills sharp and to challenge me in new ways. Adam’s class did just that. His class is a great way to prep for any set, and to keep exploring and taking risks as an actor.”
