Epic Intensive!

The Animation Collaborative will be putting on a week-long seminar this January. Sound epically intense?  It will be! Come learn the craft from myself and other professional actors and animators at this unique event.

Here's a lovely personal short about first love by Tingting Liu, former Pixar intern and animator at Laika. Check it out before it disappears!

Acting for Visual Artists workshop

Hi All,
I want to let you know about a great opportunity in the SF Bay Area: my friend and teacher Tracy Burns will be conducting a limited 4-class acting workshop, specifically aimed at animators and visual artists.  I've learned a ton from her and the classes are always fun and very interactive.  No prior acting experience necessary, though.  See flyer for more info:

 If you're in Southern California, her partner Alan will also be teaching a similar class.  He can be reached at allensimpsonacting [at] gmail [dot] com.

End scene!

TEDx Chula Vista

Hi Y'all, here (finally) is my TEDx talk from this spring in my home town of Chula Vista!

See you at IAMAG '18 in Paris!

I'll be teaching a master class on "Authentic Acting for Animation" next week at the IAMAG conference in beautiful Paris!  Come see me and many, many other artists at this extraordinary event.
