TESTIMONIALS
“Eric is kind of a script analysis savant. He has this sixth sense for what a scene needs, and then he has enough tools in his creative toolbox - be it character point of view, knowledge of genre or self-tape camera craft—it’s amazing what a clever piece of blocking can do— to guide you through building the bridge between you and what the page demands. He will clarify what the scene needs in order for it to come to life and what’s needed for you to come to life within it. Eric creates a reliable container for the actor to improvise in. If you’re confident in your craft and desire a partner to elevate and stream-line your self-tape experience, I highly recommend giving Eric a try.” - MEDINA SENGHORE, Actor (Blindspot on NBC, Dr. Death, Happy! (Series Regular), The Walking Dead (Recurring), Those Who Wish Me Dead with Angelina Jolie).

“Eric and I were classmates at Juilliard. We worked together on my audition for Evil (NBC), which I booked, and my recurring role on Manifest (NBC and Netflix). Eric understands what the audition is asking for but also what each specific actor can do to fully bring themselves to the role. He coaches with an inquisitive approach—leading actors to the next, most elegant and simple choice rather than imposing his direction or instruction. He helps actors discover what they already know intuitively but may need a bit of help articulating and expressing through action.” - LAUREN NORVELLE, Actor (Law & Order, Bull, The Deuce, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Recurring), Manifest (Recurring), Evil).

“I can’t recommend Eric highly enough. I reached out to him for help on a self-tape audition, and he gave me everything I needed to submit multiple takes for an audition that I then ended up booking! His patience and hands-on attention will ensure you put your best foot forward.” - HARRISON HARVEY, Writer/Actor (Ted on Peacock).
