Tim Phillips has been conducting professional ongoing on-camera classes for 40 years. He was one of the first to recognize auditioning as an art unto itself, and through love of acting and scene study, has developed training designed:
​
-
to get actors jobs at every point in their careers
-
to train free & independent contractors
He continues to help actors, directors, writers, and future audition coaches hone the skills needed to get better, more sustainable work in the arts and industry. Actors who are a great fit in Tim's world are those committed to professional standards of excellence and are always prepared.
-
Start with what you're great at. Coach and prep your current auditions, past auditions you want to revisit or refine, or material you know you have to be seen for.
-
If you're developing material for your reels, bring that into your Private Coaching. Tim is dedicated to your ownership of your craft, which includes you knowing who you are, how you're seen, what you're good at, and how to show up prepared and ready to play, able to take adjustments on a dime.

In-person classes are on hold. Join Tim on Zoom instead, where you can expand your auditioning skills by working in depth and in closeup. See great results, changeability and improvement in real time. Request to record your work.
​

Until further notice, Tim Phillips Studio is providing 30 minute private phone coaching sessions for all our health and wellbeing, & conducting weekly classes via Zoom.
"This is the hedonism school of acting. If it feels good, do it. If you're not having fun, no one is." - Tim Phillips
What to Expect: Whether you're an actor who hopes to be known for one type or brand, or you're someone who has made it your mission to explore the full range of representative styles available in film or television, it's incredibly important to know what's being handed to you when your moments of opportunity come.
These classes are designed to:
​
-
'un-confuse' you (no more "I don't know...")
-
expose you to a range of style guides and parameters
-
teach you to recognize the tone of a particular writer, director, genre, or audition and proceed accordingly
-
give you a space where you can let loose fearlessly
-
and use the most actor-empowering, character-empowering, trust-creating tools available today.
​
After 40 years of coaching everyone from celebrities to teenagers just starting out, Tim Phillips has seen it all.
