Testimonials
"Brian Michael Smith is an extraordinary actor to work with. He has the ability to inspire grounded, fully expressed work in his partners and brings nothing less to the table in his own work. Patient, present, open, and very generous whether it be helping you prep for an audition, rehearse scene work, or even bounce creative ideas around when you're feeling stuck. Brian creates a safe space where artistic exploration is welcome and focus is ever present. He gives his all so that you can feel supported giving your best!" - D. Ingraham, Actress; Motown, Spiderman
"Brian is by far my favorite scene partner! A natural-born guide, he'll ask you questions to get you thinking beyond the text, enabling you to lift them off the script and bring them to life inside of you, from your own eyes without a single line being 'fed' to you by him. It's almost as if Brian has the ability to become an unbiased extension of yourself and in a sense you become your own guide. It's fulfilling and empowering." - A. Mejia, Actress; "Meet The Browns"
"Brian is brilliant at last minute audition preparation and makes himself available not only time wise, but energy-wise. He will work with you to (A) Get to the essence of the text/ story and (B) find your artistic truth and showcase your unique persona = recipe for success. Whenever I work with Brian, I make discoveries AND have a blast. I trust Brian immensely." - E. Safar, Actress; "Damages", "Small Miracles"
"I met with Brian to prepare for AGR manager night because I knew would help me make bold choices and get to where I needed to be. Manager Night can be one of the most intimidating set ups for an actor, but with Brian's help I was able to to have fun with me scene because I knew I had done some great work. Afterwards, I earned a meeting with a manager and some of my best feedback to date!" - M. Lima, Actor; "The Grind", "Wynwood"
"Brian Michael is the bomb.com! After one meeting with Brian, he taught me about breaking myself down into a type and also how to break down the rolls that I'd be able to submit myself for. I learned that this is so crucial in show business... If you don't no who you are... Nobody else will either. Having Brian Michael on your team is like having your own personal fan club! He will give you everything he's got to see you succeed and he genuinely wants you to! Things have been working in my favor since our first session over a year ago. You'd be a fool to not trust such a loving and compassionate soul! Looking forward to working with Brian more and seeing the results we create together as a team!" - N. Beninato; Actress, "Deadly Devotion"
