Gilles Plouffe
“ I met Thomas in 2016 when he began his acting studies with me and our master trainer, John Strasberg. If success depends on perseverance and passion, Thomas has it in spades. And he's talented to boot! His commitment to his training and his craft as an actor is exemplary! In my 30-year career, I have rarely seen this level of dedication and achievement. And the results speak for themselves—they are remarkable. He is devoted to the pursuit of excellence and he produces tangible results. Thomas is a role model. I am very happy that our collaboration continues to this day. ”

“Since working with Thomas in private coaching, I’ve discovered a structured, precise, and entirely tailored approach that perfectly suits me as an actor. What I appreciate most about him is his ability to accurately identify my blocks while offering concrete and appropriate solutions. His explanations are always clear, coherent, and truly resonate with me.”
Each time, Thomas pushes me to go further in the search for truth. Thanks to him, I now feel more confident in my work, both professionally and personally. I no longer try to "act well," I try to fully experience my scenes .

The method
Based on realistic acting and the organic creative process , it is particularly appealing to various institutions (auditions for theatre schools in Quebec, self-tapes for casting agencies).
These institutions want to see actors who listen to each other and talk to each other for real, who create the place in which they evolve and who leave a large part to their spontaneity in acting situations.
They also want to see actors who make their work personal , fully showing their uniqueness.
