Testimonial:

“Training with Ivan at 'The Method Actor' bridges the gap between technique and transformation. Rooted in the legacy of the Actors Studio, his approach to Method Acting is both rigorous and deeply human. Ivan doesn’t just hand you tools, he helps you understand when and how to use them in a way that feels grounded, alive, and honest. What sets Ivan apart is how he seamlessly integrates mindset coaching into the process. For anyone starting out, it’s a very solid foundation. For working actors, it’s an amazing recalibration. Working with Ivan challenged me to revisit the craft with fresh eyes, to go deeper, take risks, and strive for more honest work. And in the end, there’s nothing more satisfying than doing honest, meaningful work that feels true to the character, and to yourself.”
