Acting Coaching
Joseph J. Pearlman is a graduate of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
He has been coaching actors in the classroom, privately and on film sets for over twelve years.
In his private coaching sessions and classes Joseph helps his clients/students find the specific "HOOK" of their character while giving them practicable tools for success and confidence onstage and in front of the camera. He teaches his students to "EFFECT CHANGE" while speaking and acting with a sense of remarkable ease and confidence. Joseph asks his students to talk to the "EYES" of their audience not their "EARS" or intellect. To "SHOW" rather than "TELL". He will help you to seamlessly connect the action of "really talking and really listening" to "acting" the scene.
The whole point of any acting training or coaching is to teach you how to enter a scene emotionally full. It is painful to watch an actor or actress enter a scene cold and have to warm up on-stage or on-set after the call of "action". Joseph will give you practicable and specific tools to enter a scene "emotionally full" when the director calls "Action!". Most classroom training and acting "technique" has nothing to do with what it's actually like to act in front of a live audience or on a film set; it prepares you to act in a classroom for the purpose of pleasing the teacher! Your training should be about YOU learning how to act for a real paying audience and not about the teacher.
Joseph Pearlman's approach is based on a technique developed by the late Jeff Corey (personal coach of John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Jack Nicholson, Steven Spielberg, Robin Williams, Sean Penn and many others). Joseph trained and coached with Jeff Corey during the final years of his life.
Joseph Pearlman coaches Hollywood celebrities, singer/songwriters, comedians and beginning actors working in theater, film and television. He also works with politicians, lawyers and business professionals worldwide to help them effect change in their audiences.
