“A professional is an individual who is not intimidated by his or her fears. Nor are they intimidated by labels, status, or things that are mystique. An individual with the trained ability to see things clearly for what they are, and executing purely on the job at hand, is a professional.”

What makes us different?
We focus on the psychological component of acting. We believe to unlock our true acting potential, we have to get beyond our limiting beliefs, that is why we call it a “Mental Game.”

Testimonials
“Our actors have been able to turn chaos into certainty; frustration into fearlessness; crushing their limiting beliefs which allowed opportunities to find them!”
“Herman has found a way to approach the audition process in a simple, immediate and highly effective way. He cuts through all the unnecessary stuff and helps me focus on being in the moment with a clear sense of purpose. Since I've been working with Herman, I have booked more than half the jobs I've auditioned for.”

“My acting career took a 180 from the day I met Herman. I had never even got called back and after two sessions I was booking TV gigs. He truly knows how to break acting down to pure simplicity. with consistent sessions I have truly blossomed as an actor under his tutelage. I owe Herman the world.”
