  • Professional film camera setup on location shoot

    “I had my first gig after school—just a day player spot on a show—and I used everything you taught me to prepare. All of the training under duress stuff you taught is insanely valuable, because it’s so insanely distracting on set. Anyway, all of this is to say THANK YOU. I have much to learn but I am so grateful for the tools you introduced me to.”

    “I will never look at my self tapes in the same way ever again. The breathing, the Active Breath can be used to improve and vary my acting. Remembering to breathe will help with relaxation as well.”

    “I had no expectations, so it was 100% new delights. Towards the end, I had a really big release in my voice -- I felt like I released many years of stored tension. It helped me in 9 billion ways. It helps us find our own authenticity. I think it's very empowering.”

    “Wonderful teacher and insightful explorations. I absolutely love [mVm]. It is simple and yet revealing. This course strengthens focus, releases tensions in the body under duress and improves your performance work.”

    “I teach and I direct and have found that because of what mVm reveals I can see the actors in a sharper, richer, more vulnerable and more expansive way. I am present in a different way and in that presence I am able to receive more information that helps me better lead the actors.”

    “Having studied many different voice techniques, mVm is the first one to give me the tools to measurably support my breath and my voice, both literally and figuratively. It’s helped me approach acting and speaking with ease and breath instead of tension and muscularity. I’ve gained confidence, technique, and presence as an mVm practitioner. So thankful for the skills I’ve gained as an actor, a speaker, and voice educator!”

    “I love Scott’s work because it is anatomically based and psychologically astute. It is a psycho-physical approach that demands the student’s full commitment to looking at their habitual body with open eyes. I have seen the results. Change will happen; open body, open voice, open heart. I highly recommend this method of training.”
