I enjoy and excel in helping my students discover their talent. I have a BFA from Carnegie Mellon and over thirty years of experience as an actor, teacher, director, producer and writer in the theatre

I had little to no acting experience before meeting Brian Powell. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect after responding to his acting coach ad through my talent agency. To my delight, it was evident from the beginning that not only does Brian know how to act, but he also knows how to nurture that ability in others.

I’m introverted by nature, so acting truly spikes my anxiety levels. But Brian’s calm, empathetic, and welcoming demeanor helped ease my anxiety by offering me a safe space to train. His extensive experience in the acting and entertainment world has placed him in a unique position to foster the talents of a new generation of actors, as well as help experienced actors hone their craft to new heights.

Honestly, I consider myself lucky for the time spent training with Brian as I still use lessons learned from him every time I prepare for an audition or role.

I highly recommend Brian to actors of all levels.

I started working with Brian about a year and a half ago, I wanted to find an acting coach and got in touch with him online. Given my experience working with him, I couldn’t recommend him more to someone who has a serious desire to improve as a person and artist. His style is very personal and tailored to helping the individual develop their own process and skills. He has a lot of professional background and experience, and he blends that with his uncanny ability to understand how people operate and what makes them tick. Additionally, he approaches teaching with a deep passion that you feel, and as far as you want to go with your work, he’ll go there with you, offering his guidance and experience. If you’re passionate about doing the work to improve as an artist and human being, Brian is a great person to help you embark on that journey.
