Private Acting Coaching
(In person in NYC or on Zoom)
Coach privately with Adam Smith Jr., an actor, producer, director, and acting teacher with more than 20 years of experience in theater, film, and television.
Private acting coaching can cover a range of needs, including self-tape and film/TV audition coaching, scene work, graduate school and conservatory audition preparation, career coaching, and ongoing talent development.
Each session is customized to the individual actor and what they want to accomplish. Beginners might focus on developing their work on camera, while experienced actors may work on an upcoming audition or self-tape, professional material, career strategy, or a specific challenge they are encountering in their acting.
Adam works with each actor to identify what they are trying to create, what may be getting in the way, and the tools that can help them accomplish it. The goal is not to make actors work in a particular way, but to help them develop greater command of their own work.
Adam’s clients have booked roles on series including FBI, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, Power Book II: Ghost, and Marvel’s Daredevil, and have appeared in films including Hell House LLC, Gossamer Folds, and Grounded in Love opposite Danica McKellar.
Book a private acting coaching session with Adam in New York City or online via Zoom.

(Adam) gave me the tools and acting chops I needed to go on and start working in the industry. Since my time with Adam I have gone on to book three movies, two commercials, and two proof of concepts. I can’t thank Adam at The Brownstone Class enough for being an amazing coach and mentor.

I have worked with the amazing Adam Smith, Jr. the last 4 years. I do not know what I would do without him!! For every audition he is my collaborator, coach, director and cinematographer. He applies his unparalleled range of knowledge to the scene at hand, helping me to make the most active, fresh, fun choices.
