Welcome to the first edition of Studio Notes.


I created this newsletter as a simple way to share what I'm working on, what I'm learning, and the stories that continue to shape me as an actor.

 

Over the last several months, I've become less interested in creating content and more interested in creating meaningful work and more time asking a different question:

 

What does it mean to truly witness truth?

 

That question has become the foundation of my work.

I've found that the performances that stay with me aren't the loudest or the most dramatic. They're the ones that feel unmistakably human. As I continue training, auditioning, and creating, that's the standard I'm pursuing—not perfection, but truth.


A Reflection


One thing I've been reminded of recently is that growth doesn't always look dramatic.

Sometimes growth is quieter.


It's choosing depth over urgency.


Listening instead of forcing.


Returning to the work with greater trust.


I've realized that becoming a better actor isn't about trying to become someone new. It's about removing what gets in the way of seeing—and revealing—what's already true.


This Month


I've been rebuilding my online presence with that same mindset.

 

  • Launched my YouTube channel to begin sharing behind-the-scenes reflections and archived work.

 

  • Continued refining my website with new footage and a clearer artistic direction.

 

  • Spent more time creating meaningful work than creating content.


In The Studio


 Watching:

Unbelievable (Netflix)

Quiet, restrained performances that remind me how much can be communicated through listening rather than speaking.

 

Reading:

True and False by David Mamet

A timely reminder that truthful action is often more compelling than trying to manufacture emotion.


Looking Ahead


In the coming months, I'll continue sharing new work, auditions, scene studies, behind-the-scenes moments, and the lessons I discover along the way.

 

Thank you for following the journey. I'm grateful you're here.

 

Until next time,
