Daniel Bacon brings a relaxed and refreshing approach to the art of auditioning. His calm demeanor and his years of experience on set and as a reader, help to simplify the audition process and “demystify” the room. I find all of my clients who have trained with him are grounded with a clear vision and have strong, interesting choices.

The dedication and assistance that you provide your students is incomparable. Not only do you shape an actor in the room, but you also shape an actor’s career. I am amazed by your ability to break down an audition piece. You constantly offer something new, or perhaps something I may have missed. I also appreciate how you understand the individual. Sometimes, things don’t work for everyone and I feel that Michael understands this. He is able to look at an actor and work with them on an individual level while still being able to relate to the rest of the class. It’s really hard to find people in this industry who want to sincerely aid you in your career. Michael has never held back; he’s always given 100% of his time and expertise. I truly appreciate his continuous guidance!
