Now in its 24th year, Anthony Meindl founded Anthony Meindl’s Actor Workshop in order to share his unique approach to the work. With studios in nine cities across four continents, his philosophy has seen AMAW alumni gain international recognition. He’s known for coaching such stars as two time Golden Globe nominee Shailene Woodley (BIG LITTLE LIES), Marvel franchise favorite Pom Klementieff (MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 7), Netflix’s breakout stars Phoebe Dynevor (BRIDGERTON) and Brianne Howey (GINNY & GEORGIA), pop sensation and star of CINDERELLA Camila Cabello, and hundreds of others.

• The importance of imperfection
• Feedback - when it’s helpful and when it’s not
• The “Fuck It” Mentality
• The real practical experiential work
• “Know it to throw it” & back story
• Audition tips
• What does “make a Bold Choice” really mean?
