When I met Bill Howey about a year and a half ago for a "working audit" (where you meet with just him, do a monologue, get feedback and ask any questions), I decided pretty quickly that he was the acting coach I wanted. I have not been disappointed. His teaching style is different than any other I have experienced. The scene you do becomes about the work you have done outside of class as well as who you are as a person. He emphasizes using your own qualities and idiosyncrasies in your work. He makes you think outside the box, try new things, make new choices, and expand your views. He has helped me to see that sometimes the obvious choice is the less interesting choice and to think from a new perspective. If you're looking to be challenged and stretched instead of coddled, this is the class for you.
