ACTING LESSONS?
I believe acting can be practical, so I keep things simple and focus on what really works, without the complicated jargon. In my coaching, I provide students with the tools they need to create their own approaches for authentic and engaging performances. My goal is to help you find and express your true self in acting, while making sure that your process is safe, sustainable, and reliable.
Acting is a personal and sometimes challenging art form. While rehearsing is essential, there are times when constructive feedback can provide valuable insights for growth. I'm here to support you on your journey. Together, we'll celebrate your strengths and develop new skills.

After a 20-year hiatus, I decided to return to the theater and Tyler's guidance made acting feel like second nature. A few months later, I was given the opportunity to open for David Sedaris and read a short story I wrote in front of an audience of 1000 people––something entirely new for me. Naturally, I turned to Tyler once again, and my reading was a huge success, resulting in being invited to open for David again.

Working with Tyler has been instrumental in my daughter's development as a budding actor. He creates a safe space that allows creativity and curiosity to thrive. He has helped her develop fundamental acting skills and guided her in exploring characters, analyzing scripts, and preparing her for auditions. These one-on-one sessions have augmented her classwork at school in such a profound way. She will be more than prepared to pursue an acting degree in college next year.”
