"When I work with Seth Michael, it's like taking my creative muscles to the gym. I get to exercise and work out my imagination in a safe environment and have fun in the process. Because of Acting on Impulse, I feel stronger as an actress.”

"I have studied privately with Seth Michael for years. He creatively employs and generously shares his library of knowledge. With a large variety of exercises at he ready, and without reverential allegiance to any one school of thought, he understands you and is able to tailer private sessions and workshops alike to the individual."

“2 auditions later, I booked my first gig from working with Seth! I booked the role the day of the audition! I don't know if people realize how incredible that is in NYC, or anywhere for that matter! Working with Seth... my work is the most spontaneous that it has been in a while, and I am not getting locked into a pattern. "

“Seth Michael's work with actors is simply amazing because he breaks down the mystic of what we think of acting. Every workshop gives the actors tools for life without cliques or guru worship. I have opened up and found choices in my work by playing, not struggling to get it right. "

“Seth Michael May has helped me greatly to open up, explore new ways to express myself through different states of being and emotions, become more mature as an actress, and be more courageous in my performance. Seth always creates very comfortable space, in which all are equally free and supported - rare combination to find in an acting workshop. I highly recommend Seth as a teacher and creative guide to all the actors who are looking to become stronger warriors in the field of acting.

“When I shot a scene in "Fair Game" opposite Sean Penn, given the context and intensity of the scene, I found my training with Seth Michael to be vital. Both Sean Penn and the director wanted to improvise the scene! I found the shoot to be surprisingly easy! Acting on Impulse left me with confidence in my work, trusting myself, and most importantly, making acting fun again!!"

“With Seth Michael, I've learned how to 'play' with the material and allow for the work to reveal itself to me, rather than pushing and muscle-ing toward an idea outside of myself. Since I started with Seth Michael I've booked commercials for Febreze, Heineken and Cheerios, as well as signing with a legit talent agency."
