Carl Drake

I am an acting coach based in New Zealand, specializing in The Travis Technique. With six years of masterclass training in the Meisner technique, as well as other approaches including Jeremiah Comey, Ivana Chubbuck, and Uta Hagen, I combine psychological and neurological principles from NLP and body language to create a unique and effective approach to acting.

Let me help you recall your lines effortlessly, without relying on patterns or rote memorization, so you can be fully present and act with authenticity.

I look forward to working with you.
