 Testimonials
In working
with Valerie on several occasions, I have found not only someone
dedicated to the craft of “true acting”, but also
someone I consider “the real deal” in this industry.
Her approach through her Wholeacting methodogy is based on years
in the acting industry and superlative in challenging the actor
to better their craft – better themselves period. Whether
a question on an acting choice or a question on the industry
itself, Valerie IS “the real deal”. In meeting Valerie,
I met a passionate, empathetic, yet driven person who cares
for her students within her “no nonsense” style,
she provides a safe learning environment for all actors to “explore
and discover”. Which is important for new actors entering
the industry, but equally for established actors looking to
challenge their limitations.

I worked
with Valerie Landsburg recently at
Rockport Film School.
She is very knowledgeable and a keen communicator as well. She
clearly knows how to help the actor get the performance value
desired.
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

One of Valerie's many natural gifts is directing actors
and making them feel comfortable on the set. She is also
a master at relaying these skills and techniques on to student
film and television directors so they can capture the performace
value they need and within schedule time and budget.

"I was totally captivated by Valerie and her Wholeacting
technique from the very first moment in class. Wholeacting
is immediately accessable, easily understood and integrated,
and Valerie teaches with such wit, enthusiasim, candor
and care, that you will feel totally supported as she
guides you to deeper levels of authentic and naturalistic
performance. Give your self the gift of her teaching,
it will change your life!"
