About David

I show actors how to discover themselves so that they can play any character convincingly. I specialize in the Sanford Meisner technique, Uta Hagen, Stanislavski, Chekhov and Strasberg

When I see someone finding out something about themselves that is unique and stands Out Among the crowd? When I see confidence building and who they are as a person and how they fit into the industry? That is my reward.

I began teaching in 2014. After 25 years, I knew I had more than enough knowledge to teach professionally.

I have taught at high schools, colleges and talent agencies.

I teach actors nationally and internationally. Some of my students are located in Kenya, Nigeria, Russia and the United Kingdom.

David studied stage acting with Dr. Nancy Arnfeld at MCC, Theater studies at Wayne State University and Voice at Oakland University. Additional acting workshops include Improvisation & Acting in Film / Actors Loft with Hugh Gall and Pat Caporuscio, Meisner Technique at Neighborhood Playhouse NYC.

David's favorite role was George Bailey in It's A Wonderful Life in California, where he was nominated for the San Bernadino Regional Award for best actor. He has appeared in countless stage productions in Michigan, California and Canada. His work includes feature and independent film, televison series such as The Good Wife, CSI NY and Law & Order.

As an acting coach David blends Meisner, Stanislavski, Adler and the Alexander technique coupled with his own expressive insight and creativity.

About the lesson

How do you describe a prepared actor? One who is in the moment ready to breathe life the character they’re playing.

In these uncertain times with Broadway closing its doors and films being delayed, actors need to be prepared for when America and the world reopens.

Call or write for your free consultation. Chances are good you and I can make your dreams come true.

Beginning actors to advanced actors

Ask for a free consulation. You should be sure both you and the coach are comfortable with each other. A good chemisty is essential to ensure proper growth both personally and professionally.

Ask questions such as:

How long have you been teaching?
Do you teach certain ages or are you open to any age?

What do you teach? What is your expertise?

**Ask for references.

I coached a group of film actors for a film called, Picture on the Wall. Written and directed by Sara Livingston.

The cast and crew were amazing and responded well with my coaching. It was a great experience.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Ask yourself:

Who am I as an actor?

What do I want to become?
When do I want to accomplish a certain goal?

Where do I want to move when I reach said goal?

Why do I want to become an actor? Personal development, monetary gain, popularity?

How will I cope with challenges that an acting career brings? Do I have the support of my family and friends?

“My initial thought when I met David Thompson, was that he was another scammer like the others. I was wrong. I didn’t know what the meaning of acting was until he showed me all that I was missing.
He doesn’t just teach me, he helps me in auditioning, finding opportunities and invests his time in my career.
I feel more confident after working with him. 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. “
