Brian is an excellent acting teacher! His direction is clear, insightful, and noticeably helpful to any actor. I took five days of workshops with Brian through the Actors Core Training at Pacific New Media, and I already feel I've become a much stronger actor thanks to his expertise.
Brian Mulligan’s class helped me so much as an actor. I've taken awesome acting classes before, but Brian made sure every beat of a scene was not overlooked. He really worked with me and taught me the value of truly living in a character and not worrying so much about trying to "act". He was very professional and beyond kind. I can't wait to study with him again!
Brian Mulligan is an amazing teacher who doesn't miss a beat. He provides a safe space for actors to learn and try new things, yet he demands enough discipline of his students so they can follow through on their work. His lessons are very useful to me, as I went on to study at the Bill Esper Studio in New York. Brian provided me with the experience necessary to move forward and I became a better actor.
Brian is the kind of teacher who can push you past your limits while doing so with pure kindness. After working with him I was able to listen and respond in the moment with ease."
Brian is a great acting coach. He intelligently fine tunes your work and adds subtleties that make your work pop. He's amazing!
Brian is one of those teachers whose lessons I go back to year after year. He laid the slag for my career. He introduced me to technique in a simple, gentle, unpatronizing way until I got it. Endlessly patient, collaborative, and encouraging. Brian's love and respect for theater and performance is infectious. He taught me to respect the work. I would not the artist I am without him.
An actor must always be prepared and ready to deliver. Key to that ability is training. Brian is a gifted actor, director and coach. He has a wealth of experience and training. Most importantly he is able to communicate all this in both an positive and effective manner. I deeply appreciate the insights and support he has provided me and others.
Brian is an incredible acting coach! His attention to detail is amazing and I’ve never felt more prepared for an audition than when he coached me. I learned more about acting and acting techniques in general in an hour with him, than I learned in all the classes I’ve taken. I recommend Brian to anyone with any level of training. If you want to nail an audition go to him, you won’t regret it. Oh, and he is a really awesome person too.
Brian coached me for an important audition and I am convinced he is the reason I got a callback. Brian can always help me personalize any material and find the clear, simple truth lurking behind uncertainty. He is supportive and patient while also always brining joy to the process. He will meet you halfway and bring you to another level! I would recommend Brian to anyone.
Direct, simple, but also nurturing in his approach. Brian was someone I could always talk to about any acting dilemma. I also felt that he wanted to help me not only act better but tell the story that I wanted to tell with my acting.
I thoroughly enjoyed coaching with Brian. He helped me quit acting and start being the character. I hope to have the chance to work with him again!
Brian Mulligan is the real deal. As an actor he is passionate, innovative and a fearless artist. As a teacher he is caring, sensitive and extremely knowledgeable. He is a trusted colleague and a treasured friend.
