As a teacher, he knows exactly how to work with and grow an actor at any level from beginner to advanced. What I love most is that Henry gives each actor an individually catered learning experience, pinpointing exactly the weaknesses and strengths of each particular person. He is generous with his time and mentorship both in and outside of class, and certainly has gone above and beyond in helping me over the years. His classes never feel stagnant; I learn something new from him every time. He is encouraging and supportive while not being afraid to give constructive criticism when needed. I look forward to a lifelong learning experience with him. Thank you Henry!!

NOV 30, 2018 - Don't know why this was taken down Yelp! but I am reposting:…read more Finally an audition yesterday (been a bit quiet lol) and as always, warm-up before going in with 10 counts of happy, ten counts of sad etc. The energy and electricity I could feel in my body radiating to my arms before I went in was amazing. I went in with that energy and was so present about what I was feeling and how it changed as the audition went on. I did what was expected of me, what I have been taught: the job was the audition and I showed up for that job in a way that I know I don't always...and it made a huge difference. Whether I get the part or not, it doesn't matter. It was a chance to have a practical application of the theories from MDS. I was prepared and did what I was trained to do; the outcome is irrelevant. Thank you Michael for your guidance, wisdom and techniques. And thank you to my classmates who through their energy and support, help me to find and be the actor I want to be. Much love! Aug 8 - So follow up...I didn't get the part but as I said, no problem as the audition was the job and I nailed it. However, they called me back for another part and doing the exact same technique, I booked it!!!! Michael, I can't thank you enough. Your support, encouragement and techniques have helped me to be more confident in my auditions and it's paying off :-)
