What does the alumni say about acting coach David?
“There is not one thing I would regret about choosing him as my coach.”
“Throughout multiple acting seminars attended, monthly group workshops, and David’s private training, there is not one thing I would regret choosing him as my coach.
You cannot possibly walk away from one of his teachings without gaining more information than you would have expected to learn. He not only taught me more in-depth basics of getting into character and bringing your inner emotions but has led me in further development in being an actress.
David is more than happy to share the knowledge he has acquired in the film and theater industry for his students to understand what it is like and what to expect.
I find auditions not as frightful anymore. When I get into character, I’ve learned not to act on how it’s supposed to be but instead become the character entirely with their particular feelings, reactions, and ambitions.
I would highly recommend David Thompson. He’s an amazing coach.”
“I found David’s expertise
in acting not only challenged me to grow
but also enforced the passion that encourages me to prove
my eagerness to experience what is locked within me.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of taking numerous classes with David…and each time, I’ve come away with new knowledge that I’ve been able to utilize in my auditions, as well as the roles I’ve had over the past couple of years. |
“David is an amazing acting coach. He is expressive, has great insight, gives instrumental direction, and engages his class kinesthetically and using all five senses.
After connecting with David, not only did he help me breathe life in characters, but because of his connections in the industry, I got a role in a hit stage play.
IF you want to take your acting career to the next level,
I strongly recommend David Thompson.”
“I listened to David Thompson speak at my high school in 2014, and he knows what it takes to thrive and survive in the world of acting.”
“My initial thought when I met David Thompson was that he was another scammer like the others.
I was wrong. David has taught me to place myself in the shoes of the character.
He’s not just an acting coach; he’s more like family.
I believe I can reach my full potential with him in my corner.
David can change your life for the better by altering the way you think and see life.
David Thompson wants to see you succeed and that is what I respect about him. A good coach is hard to find.
If you have the opportunity to work with David, I suggest you take it.”

So What WILL' it Be?
Before you say yes to The 30-Day Actor’s Challenge…
Allow me to introduce myself
About David…
I’m an actor and have been an acting coach for over two decades.
In my early years as an actor, I auditioned for many roles while suffering from stage fright, low self-esteem, and a belief that I wasn’t good enough.
I attended acting school, moved to California, then New York, to further my career
I achieved some success but not enough.
I began to immerse myself in self-education. Studying scripture, philosophy, psychology, emotional intelligence, body language, and the enormous creative power of words.
