Patrick Pankhurst's Acting Class

"Patrick has done it. He has created a collaborative ‘field derived’ on camera audition class. It’s an actors gym. To put it simply: I have become a better actor because of his Patrick’s class. He uses current material and is always open to what YOU are interested in, but never afraid to give you suggestions. The class is based upon constructive experienced thoughts and analysis of your work. He follows up every class with a breakdown of the overall ‘lessons’ from the night and specific thoughts on your scene. Showing again how much he cares about his students and their progress and process. I can’t thank him enough for his class."

"I went from an actor with very limited experience to someone who was able to not only audition a scene but also to being able to become a part of the scene. Through Patricks guidance I have been able visualize myself as the characters. Patrick absolutely loves the craft and does everything possible to make those around him perfect the craft. He constantly encourages you to become entrenched in the character and to make the scene believable to the audience. He gives you great choices to make as an actor with the character and leaves you the ability to use your talents. I credit all my improvement as an actor to Patrick and believe that there is not a better acting coach out there today."

"I can't say enough good things about Patrick, his depth of experience, knowledge and love of acting are both engaging and inspiring. His class has made a huge difference in the work I bring into auditions; I've learned how to take each scene and character and add a greater amount of life and specificity to the role. His class offers a great weekly workout that I would recommend to every actor!"

"It is extremely refreshing and rare to find an LA acting coach that really cares about your success! I always feel that Patrick genuinely wants to see me fulfill my potential. I have trained with a lot of different coaches and have been so blessed in this class! So many teachers feel the need to break you down before they can teach you anything. Patrick helps you improve without judging you where you currently are! I have booked my biggest projects yet since working with him and I definitely plan to train with him for years to come!"

"Patrick is an amazing resource for auditions. Not only does he keep you in shape for them with his class but he also makes himself available to you for coaching. I never go into a big audition without coaching with him first. His simple, collaborative and experienced way of breaking down auditions allows you to feel confident in your choices so you focus on showing up, "nailing it", and having fun! His class is supportive and based on positive reinforcement and encouragement. He takes the time to get to know you as an artist and he will always push you to push yourself. It is hard not to get excited about acting when you are around Patrick's enthusiasm and love for it. It really is a motivating environment. Patrick is the perfect balance of teacher and collaborator. He teaches because it is what he loves to do and above all he is a wonderful human being who wants nothing but success for his students. You will be hard pressed to find a more dedicated teacher."
