For ANY ACTOR who is “On the Fence” or “Thinking About It” –  Just GET THERE!!  Risa’s Classes are the MOST BANG for the BUCK you can GET!!  You will carry the Power and Information from her class with you for a long time…Peter Murnik, working actor

Is Risa brilliant? Yes. Can she articulate what it takes to perform on a different level – one that provokes and inspires because it chimes with a common humanity that exists in all of us? YES! But beyond just being an amazing teacher, director, writer, casting director, Risa was able to make me – an agent-less, essentially credit-less actor – step into a heavy duty environment, by teaching me to focus on two powerful truths: one, that is it is ONLY about the work… and two, she taught me to ask: Why not me? If anyone ever wonders who to study with, I send them right to Risa. – Donal Logue, Terriers, Grounded for Life

Risa’s class is such a wonderfully invigorating day of exploration. The special thing about Risa is that her attitude and passion give us as actors the freedom, and more importantly, the permission, to get out of our own way. To be committed to what we’re doing, no matter if it’s right or wrong. I will be back!  Aaron Tveit, Next to Normal, Catch Me if You Can, Graceland (Fox) 

Risa  will teach you, guide you, give you tools, support you, push you, understand you, and help you do the work you need to do. With her compassion, insight, and experience, her approach is tailored to the indivudual, to those who are willing to invest their time, energy and commitment to working with their own raw materials. Study with Risa!  Rondi Reed, Tony Award winner – August: Osage County, Mike and Molly, Steppenwolf Theatre Ensemble

THE MASTER CLASS is an intensive full-day on camera workshop with approximately 16 actors.  We work as a group, and I work with everyone one-on-one in the group context. It’s a comprehensive, collective experience and that’s always incredibly valuable. While I address auditioning, the focus of the day is always on interpreting the text, making the best and boldest choices for the scene and the character, connecting with the other character(s), staying truthful, authentic, and in the moment… in your preparation and right there in the room. I work with you so that you can “own the room” and demystify the entire audition experience. In addition the work we do reminds us of the fundamentals that strengthen, deepen and lift our work to higher places. Having worked as a director, casting director, producer and teacher in film, television, and theatre for 35 years, I intend to challenge you to stretch and explore new ways to work. I’m committed to helping you claim your voice, your courage, your conviction, with ease, authenticity, and joy! What’s so exciting is that this day will change the way you audition, the way you work and… the way you think about yourself as an actor. 

I will send “sides” for you to prepare a few days before the workshop after you answer some basic questions that will help me get to know you a little better. Along with reviewing your headshot, resume and any reels/websites you have to share.
