"SM and B have designed a workshop that gradually carries you away with their original exercises and sheer enthusiasm. Their highly skilled supportive guidance makes for an atmosphere of creativity and freedom. Actors in this workshop learn through their own experience, not just lectures or formulas. This workshop helped me trust and develop my acting instincts and abilities and I had a great time doing it!” Reiko Aylesworth (Michelle Dessler on TV series “24”)

"Seth Michael and Bryan's improv classes introduced me to this whole new realm of self-confidence and creativity.  They pushed me outside of my safety bubble in a completely safe and non-judgmental environment."  Erin Williams (The City)

I have participated in many workshops with Seth Michael and Bryan  and have studied privately with Seth Michael for years. These two guys creatively employ and generously share their library of knowledge.  This is what makes them the best!  With a large variety of exercises at the ready, and without reverential allegiance to any one school of thought, they understand YOU and are able to tailor private sessions and workshops alike to the individual."  Charlie Hofheimer (The Village, Blackhawk Down, Canterbury's Law)

I coach with Seth Michael May and not only does our work give me the confidence to deliver solid choices, it also helps me access the skills I learned in school.  Acting on Impulse provides us actors the tools for the business both creatively and professionally. They’re awesome! Manish Dayal

I recently shot a scene in "Fair Game" opposite Sean Penn, directed by Doug Liman.  Given the context and intensity of the scene, I found my training with Seth Michael, Bryan, and Jason to be vital.  Both Sean Penn and the director wanted to improvise the scene!  All I had to do was make sure I knew my lines, then leave myself open to really listen, be in the moment, and be willing to improvise if something came up, still hitting my lines when needed.  I found the shoot to be surprisingly easy!  Acting on Impulse left me with confidence in my work, trusting myself, and most importantly, making acting fun again!! Judy Maier

"When I work with Seth Michael and Bryan it's like taking my creative muscles to the gym. I get to exercise and work out my imagination in a safe environment and have fun in the process. With Seth Michael and Bryan's guidance, I now have the tools to approach my personal sticking points and I feel stronger as both an actress and improviser. I remember now why I wanted to be an actress in the firs

"I just wanted to let you know how much I liked your workshop. Your approach allows for a lot less self-consciousness and intellect. That works well for me. I hope to be able to take more classes with you whenever I have enough in my slush fund to make it possible. Please keep me on your "spam" roster regarding upcoming workshops.

Thanks again for the gift of the journal.
That was above and beyond!"
Jordan Hunter

"Dear Seth Michael and Bryan,
You inspire confidence in us, partly because of the safe environment you provide.  There is TRUST in what you do.  You continue to surprise me when, at times, I think I've learned all you have to offer, but then discover that your bag of tricks is still full.  I guess we never stop learning.  There's always another way to approach something, to make it real.  In addition to all that I've said, you make it "FUN" (don't tell anybody).  

I know that I now approach my auditions more relaxed and ready to play.  I go into that room more confident that even if I'm not the one they want...they will think twice about me and my performance.  Maybe they'll even adjust what they want to suit me.  In any case, I'll see you when I return."
Steven Alan Gesser

"My name is Floyd Marshall and I'm a student of Seth Michael and Bryan. As I told them before "This is some next level shit." Their classes are invaluable to say the least. It's helped me get auditions, first refusals, callbacks and a nice amount of work. As I told them after the first class I took , they have a student for life!

Thank you for letting me see aspects of myself that I never imagined. I am very excited for the future just with this one class.  They have definitely found a lifelong student. I will tell any and everyone associated with acting that if they want the next level. Seth Michael and Bryan are it. I truly look forward to learning from you both in the future."
Heartfelt Sincerity,

"Bryan and Seth Michael's work with actors is simply amazing because they break down the mystic of what we think of acting.  Every workshop gives the actors Tools for life without cliques or guru worship.  I have opened up and found Choices in my work by playing, not struggling to get it right.  They are #1 in my book!"
Tanya Perez, Hal Hartley's 'The Girl From Monday'

"In the three or four months I've worked with Seth Michael privately, in addition to working with him and Bryan in workshops, I've booked an on camera industrial, a supporting role on All My Children, and an ESPN commercial. Both Seth Michael and Bryan are practical in their coaching and at the same time sensitive to the actor's individual needs, which I find very helpful."
David H Villalobos

"Seth Michael and Bryan take you through a day which is a full workout for your greatest tool as an actor...yourself. The powerful warm-up to opens up all your senses. They encourage each individual to bring all of themselves to their work. The workshops help cultivate confidence to trust and follow your instincts and impulses. The workshops are both, fun and inspiring. Great for actors of any level."
Jamie Bonelli "Black Donnellys"

"I have had the pleasure of conducting a creativity session with Seth Michael May and Bryan Radtke as part of their Wednesday Workshop. I say conducting with them, because the atmosphere that they have developed among the participants is truly interactive. The warmth and camaraderie among the participants was noticeable at once. Likewise, observing the fluidity and creativity that they displayed during IMPROV games was amazing. Having studied with several of the top instructors in NYC, I can say the difference Seth Michael and Bryan deliver is that their workshop is F-U-N, and will truly hone your skills quickly."
Scott Hoye, Certified Hypnotist and actor

"Kudos to Seth Michael May and Bryan Radtke for developing a dynamic series of workshops that do exactly as intended!  Learning to “listen” to ones inner self and to truly trust your instincts can be the key that unlocks a number of doors to success in everything from auditions to character development. These sessions have been a tremendous help to me."
Joe Stofko  

"Bryan and Seth Michael give you the safety and freedom to explore and to trust your impulses and responses more fully in every moment. Their exercises open you to a greater awareness and appreciation of the honesty and energy that makes your work real and unique."
Amanda Hopper

"Seth and Bryan:
Wow, what a great experience. I came out of your warm-up with every cell in my body tingling, with the deepest most creative part of myself fully present. You two are a great team and have taken me to the next step. I look forward to more to come."
Carol Marks

WHAT NON ACTORS SAY:

In my first class with Seth Michael May, I fully expressed my darkest hidden emotional self and I saw that the world stayed intact. Seth Michael knew exactly where my edge was. Then he took me there, and nudged. Other courses (I have taken at other places) have done the same nudging, but the context of improvising a scene allowed me the right mixture of virtual and reality to finally jump off the cliff. A door opened and my emotional freedom has continued to grow from there.
