    Straight to the point and good advice
    I love Jeff’s no nonsense approach to the craft of acting. He provides a demystified point of view that is often lacking in acting training. His dry humor is also great! Jeff has a ton of experience in the industry and he shares real life anecdotes from what he sees other actors struggling with and talks us through how to approach similar issues by changing our perspective from acting to real life and allowing that to inform performance.

    A Breath Of Fresh Air.
    Thank you Mr. Seymour! I’m a 19 year old actor in college and the way we’re taught as always confused me. Acting should be so complex. And your direction has lead me to become a much better artist. Thanks again! :)

    Keeps my head in the Game!
    I love how Jeffrey explains so well the way an actor should work and focus on being themselves rather than planning to do the right thing. Very refreshing material!

    Jeff Seymour is Yoda...wise, true, and caring.
    A friend told me about Jeff’s podcast a few weeks ago. I’ve listened to about 20 of them...I took his intensive this weekend. He is the “real” deal. I mean...he proves that there is a more truthful way to acting. You don’t have to be so precious, mental, methodical, or uncomfortable with the ‘work’.

    Seymour is the man
    I took his class for a bit because I enjoyed the podcast so much. His insight and coaching have helped me tremendously and this podcast is one of the most informative acting podcasts I’ve ever found.

    Keep it Real!
    I absolutely love this podcast. I was blessed enough to not have stumbled into any "typical" acting classes, so I don't have any of the "work" to unlearn how to do. My local coach actually recommended Jeff's podcast (as it aligned with the way he works and teaches), and I immediately binge listened all of the back episodes. I could tell the difference when doing my very next audition piece. There is magic in keeping it real and I love how Jeff keeps reminding of how to look at what would happen in real life and to emulate that. It's a fantastic listen and I look forward to seeing the new episodes pop up into my feed (and then get jumped right to the top of the list). Thanks for all of the fabulous info you provide Jeff!

    Magnificent is an understatement
    Wow, Jeff’s cut to the quick teaching style saved me years of contemplating the BS advice that’s endemic in most antiquated schools of acting. I dig it.
