BRET SHUFORD

"The beauty of having Bret as an acting coach lies with the simple fact that he is a working actor and truly understands the mind of an actor.  Bret has an amazing way of individualizing his coaching to the actor and not to the scene.  I knew during my first session with Bret for a major film audition, that I was in the hands of someone who was going to impact my acting ability profoundly.  Bret also has a caring and gentle way about him.  Not to say, he does'nt hold you accountable, but it is very easy to relax in his sessions so you can get to work and not be distracted by your own nerves."

I consider Bret a gem for my career and always know that he is a phone call away when I am in need of some coaching.  "

I was at a point in my career and life where I was feeling that there was so much more to be had but couldn't quite find the right path. Or signs to the right path. Or see through the fog to see the signs to the right path. Bret helped me clear the fog. He listened without judgment and helped me to pinpoint the issues I needed to focus on to begin to move forward. Since working with Bret I am feeling empowered and specific about what I want and I am seeing results. And he laughs at my jokes!

"Bret is wonderful! I worked with him during a period of time where I was feeling "stuck" and unhappy with my career. He guided me in thinking BIG and using the necessary tools, (some which I already knew but was resisting and definitely needed to be reminded!!) He pushed me in the best way and was so supportive through it all while I made some pretty big life moves. This career as an actor can be ROUGH but it doesn't have to be when you have people like Bret there to talk it through and get specific about the things you want. And plus he's so much fun to be around!"

"Bret is fantastic and understands the nuance of auditioning. My first two coachings with him were for specific callbacks...I booked BOTH gigs. He pushed me to find a more specific point of view and lean into the physical manifestations of the character. Definitely recommend Bret!"

- Kenny Metzger

"BEFORE: stuck, uninspired, limited, powerless, self-conscious, apprehensive about actor marketing/networking.

AFTER: free, inspired, limitless, empowered, confident, excited about the creative ways I can lend my own voice to marketing and building industry relationships.

My secret weapon? Bret Shuford."
