I started private coaching to help professional actors like you book more of the roles you want.

Hi there, I’m Jud.

And the first thing you need to know is that I’m an actor, too.

In my third year of college, I booked my first TV show audition and within a month, I booked the lead in a feature film starring Rodney Dangerfield’s wife.

Which was a bit surreal because I had grown up watching his film, “Back to School.”

And although my teachers made special allowances for me to get through my exams that semester, the irony is, the momentum continued for me as an actor, and I didn’t ever make it back to school (still a regret!)

But I have studied with some of the greats.

I was fortunate enough to be forever changed by the inimitable Penny Allen, who was instrumental in the original Actors Studio in New York. She passed away when I was pregnant with my son, and to explain the impact she had on my life—I would have named my son Penny if he had been a girl.

Penny was the wisest person I’ve ever met, and seemed to know everything about everything. I learned how to trust, feel, let go, and just be.  I learned forgiveness, boundaries and letting go of guilt. I learned the deepest, and most profound breakdown of scripts and characters. I learned so much about psychology and what motivates people in the things they do.

Most of all I learned NEVER to judge the character you are playing and to find the humanity in everyone.

And never to judge my clients.  I am a safe space for you.

When Penny learned of her illness, she started to teach me a lot about her approach as a coach. I took what she and many other heavy-weight teachers taught me,  and with my own professional experience of over 25 years in the industry, have developed my own curated and customizable approach.

There is no one size fits all approach

What works for one actor, may not translate to another.

Our work together is tailor-made to get you results.
