For me, Bill was instrumental in providing basic as well as advanced training in the area of film. His hands on approach, and ability to bring out the best in his actors, while allowing them to be comfortable in front of the camera is phenomenal! Through Bill’s workshops, I have developed a skill level that has given me the ability to drop into a cold read with cofidence. This has resulted in paid commercial work as well as being cast is short films in the metro area. I have also been able to transfer his insight regarding techniques for building an emotional inventory, to my theatrical work on stage. I respect him immensely and highly recommend his workshops.

Bill’s insight, experience and coaching skills have been a big help to this “new” actor (in my 50s) finding a fit in local industry. I’ve learned fundamental skills that help in auditions and better character portrayal. Bill is fully committed to helping his students and is an overall great person to learn from. He has helped me find my strengths and know how to use them when doors opened for auditions, leading to my first paid commercial role.

Bill Cooper is a great coach. I have been in many of his classes. The way he interacts with each person, whatever their skill level, builds trust, respect and provides a safe atmosphere to learn. The classes fun, engaging and non critical. Personally, Bill has helped me know, how to audition with confidence and be myself on camera.

I have taken Bill Cooper’s individual coaching and Advanced Acting Techniques class. The individual coaching helped me get a base understanding for knowing how to approach a script that is given for an audition. As a result, I booked several roles I auditioned for. I loved taking the class as it really challenged me to bring my “A Game” every time. Within this class, he was able to build on my strengths and challenge me on my weaknesses. Bill is down to earth and very knowledgeable. He successfully balances supportive and challenging feedback to help you grow as an actor.
