About GUSTAVO

I’ve been an actor since I was 15 years old, with professional experience in Spain, New York, and Los Angeles. Throughout my career, I’ve worked as an actor, presenter, and acting teacher, working with both children and adults. For me, acting is more than a profession—it’s also a philosophy of life. Acting has taught me to rediscover listening, empathy, emotional awareness, presence, and the ability to recognize and release tension and fear. I believe acting is ultimately a study of the human being. My goal as a coach is to help each student discover their own way of expressing themselves truthfully, rather than imposing one specific formula or technique. Whether you’re preparing for an audition, working on a scene, building confidence, or simply exploring acting for the first time, I want our work together to be creative, practical, personal, and enjoyable. You can get a better sense of my work and experience on Instagram: @gustavorojo

About the lesson

“Emotions and relationships—in life and in acting.” My lessons are centered on one essential idea: truthful acting begins with listening, connection, and being present. Through sensory and emotional exercises, improvisation, scene work, character exploration, and audition preparation, we work on becoming more connected to ourselves, our scene partners, and the circumstances of the story. Rather than forcing emotions or focusing only on the final performance, we explore what makes each moment feel alive and authentic. We work on listening, emotional availability, imagination, confidence, spontaneity, and releasing unnecessary physical and emotional tension. Every student is different, so I adapt the sessions to your experience, personality, and goals—whether you’re a beginner discovering acting, an experienced actor preparing for an audition or role, or simply someone who wants to become more expressive and comfortable in front of others. Above all, acting should remain something we enjoy. Growth comes through curiosity, exploration, play, and the freedom to make mistakes.
