He’s a wonderful listener and human being.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58ee829715d5db893a5aed45/43a3ef30-450a-4c0e-b81f-1e656853a79d/Tasso_Feldman.jpg Acting Coach - Tasso Feldman “Mark is always the first person I call when I have an audition or I’m getting ready for a part. He brings his meticulous and delightfully inventive approach as an actor, improviser, and writer to his coaching work. From Shakespeare to the Marx Brothers and everything in between, he knows how to find gold in any script. Like treasure hunters we look for every clue, and as partners we build a characterization and craft a performance that both delivers and surprises. I trust his experience and his empathy, and am inspired by his joyful curiosity. After coaching with Mark, I always feel fully prepared and excited to take my best shot.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58ee829715d5db893a5aed45/d533eaf0-5943-4c6c-a610-603da365ea79/733327_bbcd27f803bd49d0a7cbcb607817f91a%7Emv2_d_4480_6720_s_4_2.jpg Acting Coach - Kimberly Chatterjee "Mark Bedard has been a godsend for my TV/Film auditions. My very first tape after working with him was sent to producers who put me on a short list, after months of me sending tapes into the void. Every session I have with him results in positive feedback from casting. Within 6 months of working with him I booked my first TV role since 2015, on a new show for a major streaming network. Mark has an impeccable eye for storytelling, both in script analysis and in front of the camera, and leaves no stone unturned when it comes to finding the most truthful and dynamic choice in a scene. Perhaps best of all, I walk away from each session empowered with new tools on how to be more specific, authentic, and clear in my work. I can't recommend him enough!" https://www.markbedard.com/home daily 1.0 2024-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58ee829715d5db893a5aed45/c0fc78c7-2be7-472b-8585-5d39c057adcb/Mark+Bedard.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
