Cold Reading/Scene Study Technique Classes

“I have known Wayne Gasser since 1979 - there began our friendship. Wayne is extremely bright, charming, ambitious and honest. He has a deep understanding of the entertainment business and is very sensitive to the actors' needs.”
… KEVIN BACON, actor...



JESSE WILLIAMS - Grey's Anatomy
Studied under Wayne for 6 Months before heading to Los Angeles.



"Before I met Wayne I had the drive to be an actor, but I lacked the necessary tools to achieve the goals I had set for myself. Since meeting him I have acquired a sense of confidence in myself at auditions along with my natural talent itself. I feel closer to my dreams than ever and am feeling closer after every class. The classes are also fun, and intimate and I have met many friends along the way."
 ...  MATTHEW LEWIS

"A lot of actors, especially newbies and NYC- theatre based actors are lost when it comes to cold readings and auditions for t.v. and film. Wayne and his class provide students not only with the tools and skill building lessons necessary to land these auditions but also allow them to share in the experience and knowledge of someone who's been in the business for many years and has seen the business on many different levels." ... RUSSELL LEWIS



Academy Award Winning Actress, CELESTE HOLM has participated in several sessions as an Industry Guest.



"I moved to NYC six months ago with NO acting experience at all.  After taking Wayne's class for 4 months, it got me to my 4th callback for a lead role in the the new David Chase feature." ...THOMAS BAKER



“Wayne was tops in LA as he is in New York. His clients/students are lucky to have his guidance."

...KAYE STEVENS...
(Has performed with "The Rat Pack," Johnny Carson and Bob Hope. She has starred on Broadway in Mame, Follies, Molly Brown and Gypsy. As Jeri Clayton on NBC's "Days Of Our Lives," Kaye was the first to introduce a new song to the TV audience "You Light Up My Life.")



"Although I have taken many acting classes in NYC, I feel that ActingHeartNYC has been some of the best preparation for cold reading and improvisation. It has definitely helped me where it matters most...in the audition room."
...TRISTAN LAURENCE..



"After 3.5 years of traveling around the United States, being arrested and accumulating a load of debt to become famous, Wayne Gasser directed me to Times Square in New York City and told me to "play in traffic"! ... The rest is history!!"
..."NAKED COWBOY"



"Wayne Gasser's acting class is brilliant! His techniques effectively unlock inhibition and provide a solid base for students seeking a professional level career. Anyone looking to unlock and release fear of expression would love his class."
...LONETTE McKEE, Actress/Director...



"I really dig the class. When Wayne hops on stage (to work) he puts a lot of great ideas into our heads and shows us exactly how it should be done - without a lot of thought and 'in the moment'. It's a lot easier to picture after seeing it in person and how effective it really is."
...REX PACHUTA...



"Wayne is a deeply sensitive teacher who pushes me hard to reach my potential. I always learn something new and interesting that I take with me to auditions and jobs."
...BETTINA SKYE...



"This is the first class I have ever been in that I'm not afraid to take risks and be myself. I just go up there and do whatever I'm feeling in that moment. I've learned so much and it has brought a new confidence to my acting and auditioning."
