Over
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, I have been an actor since I was seven years old, and a martial artist since I was nine. I have always had a passion for the arts especially in how they intersect with movement. It was for this reason that I moved to Belgium to study gestural theatre. Beyond this I have studied mythology and literature on the side. I love fantasy, video games, and cooking. I also speak French.

Using a range of disciplines from martial arts, to acting techniques, to voice and breath work, we will work together to relieve unnecessary tensions in the body, move effectively, and discover deeper understanding of our vessel. My hope is that you will feel more capable and confidant in your body, no matter what type of body you have. This is not about strength training. It is abut understanding and appreciating the body you have.

The course is intended for anyone seriously interested in the functioning of the voice and its application in singing (support, power, vocal stability, timbre, etc.).

Inspired by the EVT (Estill Voice Training) method, a system that explains how the voice works and uses it to rehabilitate vocal disorders, strengthen public speakers and support high-level performers, my goal is to make the student more aware of their vocal instrument and more comfortable in their sound emission and singing.

We will begin by exploring the source of sound: our body. We will cover breathing and warm-up exercises, and focus on various sound emission techniques to improve voice quality and control.

About our partnership with Hollywood

Hollywood Actor's Showcase and Richie's Acting Workshop is one of the best-known, most influential acting schools in the United States. After 30 years of training for aspiring actors and Hollywood stars (including Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore), she teamed up with Belgium's Badass Intensive Acting Studios last year to expand European. The goal is simple: to bring the authentic energy of Hollywood to Europe, so that even people who cannot afford to move to America themselves can receive the same education.

There are not many acting courses that focus on acting in front of the camera. After all, most schools teach you — implicitly or explicitly — theater techniques and while the art of acting itself remains central, it should be clear that acting for TV and film requires slightly different skills, as it usually involves subtler, smaller expressions and movements. . Film connoisseurs therefore know that the camera tends to notice the smallest emotion.

The most minuscule micro-expressions, the least obvious 'subtext' and the most layered interpretations are visible on both the large and the small screen.

In Belgium, Badass PR's Intensive Acting Courses have long been one of the few acting classes that deal exclusively with acting in front of the camera, supplemented with improvisation.

During the lessons, all the important acting techniques are discussed, including those of Adler, Chekhov, Hagen, Meisner, Practical Aesthetics, Stanislavski and Strasberg, but the goal remains the same: to forget technique in a sense and to act as naturally as you breathe. Badass Intensive Acting Studios' own technology, REPEAT, has also been developed for this.

Ever since author / coach / editor / PR consultant Dirk started teaching acting classes more than 10 years ago, he has tried to offer his students as many opportunities as he could. That went by trial and error: sometimes he failed to get something off the ground, at other times he succeeded in his objectives. Those of his students range from developing more self-confidence to becoming more sociable and getting more opportunities to star in a play, a movie or a TV series. One of the best decisions: partnering with the Hollywood Actors' Studios of Larry, Bobbie and Richie Chance - three of the most famous acting coaches in the film world.

Badass Intensive Acting has been organizing workshops in Los Angeles and Las Vegas for years now to enable its students to learn from the most prestigious instructors, talent agents and casting directors that Los Angeles has on offer. For example, the collaboration with Hollywood Actor's Showcase and Richie's Acting workshop has already paid off.

Of course it depends on many factors whether you can achieve success as an actor — a great deal of luck and a lot of dedication are usually very important — but the students at the Chances can certainly say that they are as prepared as they can be. From improv lessons to working with scripts and intensely emotional lessons, the courses cover the entire spectrum of what the film world needs.

Since August 2019, Badass Intensive Acting Studios and Hollywood Actor's Showcase in Belgium have been flying under a banner. In Belgium, the Chances now work exclusively with Badass Intensive Acting Studios (now 'Powered by Hollywood Actor's Showcase'). The participating students not only receive a discount on the international workshops, but can also enjoy many other benefits.

With your course fee you can participate in any of our courses whenever you want. This way you can not only learn to act, but also taste our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, 'physical acting', lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, the following applies: the more you follow 1 particular course, the faster you progress.

Also don't forget that you can collect points with an UitPas! Early bird discounts are also available for all our workshops. So be quick.

The acting course is continuous. So you can choose which lessons you participate in and which you do not.

First of all, if you tell yourself that:

- you don't know how to sing because one day someone told you that you "sing badly" or "wrong"

- you love to sing but only alone in the shower, in your car, or anywhere/when no one can hear you

- you would like to approach practice in a way other than "classical" musical learning (--> music theory, scales, restriction to a single range, etc.)

- you would like to gain more confidence in your vocal, rhythmic and/or breathing abilities

- you would like to work on your "musical ear", your (stage) presence and/or different techniques of artistic expression (vocal)

- you would like to learn more about your instrument which is your body, your breath and your voice in order to tame it and experience the ease and opulence in your singing

...and you find yourself (partially) in one or the other or each of these statements, it doesn't matter: there is a good chance that this course is made for you!

Meet your voice. Explore the places of resonance in your body, the range of your emotions, the chants of your thoughts. Let yourself be inspired...exhale...

Our body, this instrument - nay, this “nomadic cathedral” with its vaults, its alcoves, ... its multiple spaces of resonance - we are often intrinsically rather than intimately linked to it. The vibrations that we emit when we sound our breath, transforming into song, can prove to be a powerful tool in the resolution of tensions, the calming of the mind, but also in the (re)discovery of oneself through our body, our senses and our voice, this musicality that is unique to us.

We experience the world on a daily basis through our body and our senses, and the voice allows us to share these experiences with others, both in its daily and extra-daily communicative function; artistic; poetic. But when the spoken voice gives way to the singing voice, Music allows us to go even further... Sometimes even to touch what is called the Ineffable.

Oh yeah... Just that..! Don't panic, everything in its time ;)

Having fun making music is key while we work focused on developing your voice.

With a Master’s in Music/Vocals/music education, I bring my passion and vocal expertise from both academies and private coaching to each session. Using the piano, I guide you through lessons focused on interpretation, technique, and enjoyment. We work on songs that inspire you and that help you grow as a singer while boosting your confidence. My approach is relaxed yet focused, ensuring you develop your unique voice in an engaging and supportive environment.

After many years of experience, teaching has become an ongoing passion and I developed a powerful and fun approach of teaching for beginners and advanced students.

Singing lessons
Discover your own voice as I support you developing your personal sound and the technique needed. We will be doing vocal warm ups, improvisation and sing the songs of your preference.

Violin lessons
Noticing that a lot of violin players are unable to play music without scores I tend to work using more the ears instead of scores. Besides learning songs and improvisation in the musical genre that the student prefers, I also emphasize on technique and posture.

Every person is unique and needs a particular and personal approach!
