About Rob
Many Ivy Leaguers, classically trained actors and style actors (ie, musical theatre actors) have said that I've helped get their audition the appropriate size for smaller venues. I'll help you appreciate the subtle; not to ignore the dramatic, but often the subtle is what will get you noticed, and what will get you the job.
I was a working actor for 2 decades and segued to directing and writing. I have a BFA in acting and an MFA in playwriting. I studied directing here and there, but was mostly shaped by Seth Barrish of the Barrow Group. I often direct my readings and I will, consequently, coach the actors for years after.
No one knows better than a playwright, that the script is a roadmap for the actor. I can help you find everything you need, by teaching you how to ask the right questions and mine a script for clues. I will not mess with your head! I believe in encouragement, and demystification. Acting should be easy and fun. My actors often become my friends and some of them have booked Off B'way shows!
When I was in acting classes, a few of my clasmates asked me to coach them afterwards. And, when I directed shows, actors would ask me to coach them afterwards.
30 years of making theatre.

I have them work on whatever material they want or need to, usually a monologue or sides for an audition the next day. If the student is just starting out, I'll give them a break on the rate, so they can do at least 3 sessions and we can monitor the progress of the work together.

The first time I was coached by Rob, I was preparing to audition to play a gay cop from the Bronx - not who I am at all. After hearing the piece through once, he stopped me about a line into the scene and told me to notice the change that took place in my voice when I started 'acting'. He encouraged me to momentarily let go of the accent and voice of the character and to ground my work in my natural speaking voice. Rob then suggested that I didn’t need to work on various qualities I already had that were right for the part. Instantly, I relaxed; the pressure to perform and create a character was alleviated. I felt myself becoming the character almost right away. Both notes were superb bits of defusing and support that guided me into myself and allowed me to trust myself. He has a great eye and a great instinct.
