Creating Compelling Characters course has been one of the most useful tools for a recent film I was fortunate to be a part of here in NY. From wardrobe to mannerisms, Greg covers it all and always has a way of cutting through the noise and highlighting what actually shines on screen and in auditions. Highly recommended.

Greg offers an astute insight into what it takes to be remembered. My previous learning had been how to be once I have attained a job, but then merely getting into the room and creating a lasting impression is an art in itself. I would absolutely recommend the TAT to those who need a kick and some extra motivation. My thinking has certainly changed!

At this stage in my life and career, I’m looking for a unique perspective on what industry professionals respond to and how to leverage what I bring to-the-table. My recent on-on-one with Greg was eye-opening, fun, insightful, and an exceptional learning experience. I’ll be a better actor as a result — and plan to continue the journey.

Greg enabled me to know myself better as an actor. His approach is innovative and freeing. Greg gives individual feedback from the Casting Director’s perspective. He increases an actor’s sense of ownership and flexibility in their work - he did for me - and I think what he's doing is great. You will never enjoy auditioning more than once you have been mentored by Greg.

The entire process was personal, organized and WELL worth every penny. Greg has pushed the idea of being MORE confident and trusting my gut. Learning to free myself up in the frame for an audition and releasing myself for the "box" that we sometimes feel we have to live in within the self tape audition. My brand is going to be ready to go when the time comes through the awesome Character Selfies.

The best course i did for my career, not only for auditions but also for my career path. Greg Apps is really good at finding your individual talents that your acting coach wouldn't even consider. Now I know how to survive in this business not worrying about competing with super model looking actresses.

Just do it! You will grow fast to the right direction!
