I enjoy helping other artists reach their creative individualistic potential! I enjoy seeing great art shine brightly within the creative artist!

In 2008 I was invited by a private school to come and direct their winter musical. The musical was a success, and the head principal of the school offered me a sub contract to provide lessons and workshops for their student population. At this point, I saw how much I truly loved teaching theatre and the art of acting, that I began to provide more services to various performing art learning facilities.

I have 30 years of professional experience in the industry, working as a professional actor on stage, film/TV, and voiceovers. I have 10 years of teaching experience; working as a teaching artist, Private Acting instructor/coach, and serving as Adjunct Professor for local colleges in the area.

I have a Master’s degree in theatre from Regent University. I am also a National Michael Chekhov Association Certified Acting Teacher of the Michael Chekhov Acting Technique & Pedagogy.

About the lesson

1) First student would need to contact me directly, so we may discuss his/her needs as it pertains to their craft.

2) After learning more about the student, we would discuss the nature of the lessons, how long the classes would be and cost, and location of lessons.

3) Next, first five lessons (one hour each lesson) would be scheduled and fully paid for by student. Student would receive an email from me with a learning packet, which would contain what the student would need to start the lessons.

4) Then, student would be begin their actor training journey with me; continual assessments would be provided for student to monitor progress.

5) After the first 5 lessons, I would discuss with student the possibilities of continuing further study with me.

I have worked with professional actors for both stage and film; college aged student actors; High School theatre students, and younger students.

Look for a teacher who will be passionate about working with you. Look for a teacher who will be able to assess your work and provide feedback that will help you to grow as an actor and artist. Look for a teacher who will challenge you.

The start of 2020, what started as a small role for BET TV Series Carl Weber's "The Family Business" landed me a recurring role as Uncle Willie Monroe for their upcoming season 2 on BET+.

In April 2019, I was honored to work with Lily Collins, Simon Pegg, Chace Crawford, and Connie Nielsen on feature film "Inheritance" as supporting role Detective Emilio Sanchez.

The Film was released on May 22, 2020 on Amazon Prime; Apple TV; iTunes and various streaming platforms:

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Why do I want to study Acting?

Is there anything else I can see myself doing beside acting? If so, what is it?

Am I wanting to pursue professional actor training in order to break into the business? Or am I wanting to simply try it out as a hobby? Why?

I could quickly tell Joe takes his craft seriously. He truly digs deep to portray a character, to get into the mind of the person he is playing the part of. It was refreshing to see how professional he is with his acting practices. As I was around him, I felt like he knew secrets I did not and I felt honored to be able to observe his talent. Joe is the real deal.

I loved that he was able to put me at ease and help me to see the story arc of my character. We even tried a new direction for a scene in rehearsal that the director loved and kept in the film. I highly recommend Joe Herrera as an acting instructor.

I completed the 20 hour program and received a lovely certificate. I loved Joe’s focus, dedication and attention to detail. It’s great to learn from someone who has such respect and fervor for the craft of acting. I have also gotten coaching from him on projects as needed and I appreciate how he shows up for me - he reads my script ahead of time and cames to the session ready with great direction and attentiveness. I can not recommend Joe enough... He’s generous and inspiring. He is professorial in his own acting pursuit as well as in his teaching. He attacks acting like a master. Joe brings his heart, soul and mind - that’s what a master does. No doubt... Michael Chekhov would be proud as I imagine The National Michael Chekhov Association is! Thank you Joe!!
