Acting on Impulse

COACHING SERVICES
BRYAN RADTKE

Bryan has been coaching actors since 2001. His collaborative sessions help actors to relax and focus. Bryan’s goal is to help the actor realize what he or she brings to work, encourage the actor to expand his or her comfort zone, support the actor throughout the growth process and empower the actor for their creative journey.

Private sessions can include fine-tuning monologues, cold reads, as well as helping the actor during the discovery process with play and film scripts. He will welcome actors who want to work on traditional approaches or collaborate on a specific focus of study with the actor.

An Excerpt from Bryan's Back Stage Article:
Bryan Radtke also understands how to let music affect him viscerally. For example, to play Ricky Roma in Glengarry Glen Ross, he listened to Dave Brubeck; that cool jazz helped him find the character physically. Also a teacher, director, and playwright, Radtke knows that everyone connects to music on a sensory level—songs you listened to as a kid, songs popular when you were in college, any song you associate with a certain time, place, or experience—and that it can evoke certain emotions. Music can also help you manifest physical impulses, so he uses it in his Acting on Impulse classes in New York.

WHAT ACTORS SAY:

"Bryan, I heard about your show, really wish I was in town to see it, knowing it's probably quite a production. Although I'm not there to tell you face to face I write this now so you know first hand that your teachings and lessons to me as an actor got me my first gig out here. I recently booked a University of Phoenix shoot that was entirely improv. I played a third grade teacher and found myself completely engaged in my scene thanks in major part to the procedures and techniques you showed me while attending your class. Once again thank you, your advice has helped me a great deal in my attempt to make it out here (LA) as an actor.

"Bryan is constantly encouraging me to keep discovering and developing – and, most importantly, he creates a safe environment where I am completely free to do so. He is always, always focused on my growth an as actor, even when I'd rather take the easy way out!"
--Amanda Hopper, actress

"I began working with Bryan when I received my first Feature Film audition, which I booked. Bryan taught me how to audition, both working with a script and improvisation, finding organic emotion and spontaneity which has brought my acting to a professional level. Most importantly, he gave me the confidence to trust myself in the work. As a result, I went from being a dayplayer in my first film, "Kettle of Fish", to the lead role in my second film, "The Wreck!"
--Judy Maier, actress
