Devin Whitten - Coaching

New York, Los Angeles, and Colorado in both the film and theatre industries. In 2018 I began teaching at a conservatory program in the Bay Area and have absolutely fallen in love with teaching. I am formally trained in Meisner, Stanislavsky, Suzuki, and Chekhovian methods, have a deep love for Uta Hagen, and an extensive knowledge and passion for Shakespeare and voice for the actor. I have had the distinct honor of taking master classes with Baayork Lee, Suzan Zeder, Jeanine Tesori and many other notable names in the industry. I believe that truth in acting is the foundation of all great performers and that truth begins with trust, support, and fun in the classroom. I take immense pride in my own work as an actor and in bringing my knowledge and passion to the next generation of performers.
​
More important to me than the quality of an actors training, is that they feel validated, respected, and heard. I work very hard to be patient, empathetic, and careful with my students feelings and schedules.I pride myself immensely on my ability to balance professionalism with compassion; and I look forward to working with you!
