To get great performances from your actors, you need to speak their language.

Hi, I'm Robin Vada Song,

Founder of Talking To Actors

This is my Story

After many years of working behind the camera as a Director, Producer, and 1st AD and in front of the camera as an actor I noticed one thing over and over...

More often than not, directors don't speak the language of actors - and therefore they miss out on the the chance to get the actor's best performance. So I started posting tips for directing actors on Instagram. Just micro-lessons a minute or two long. And all of a sudden I gained a tidal wave of followers. That gave me the push I needed to launch my Director's Gym LIVE Zoom workshops (in which directors get to work out their mental muscles by directing live actors in an actual scene with realtime coaching from me).

When those directors in my workshops asked for even more, I began to create online courses.

I've made it my mission to help directors speak the language of actors so they can get great performances.
