TESTIMONIALS
You Heard It Here First…
"Dear young professional and aspiring actor, let me introduce you to the best actor and wise man you will ever work with: Michael Mastro. I have known him since we collaborated on the Tony-winning production of Warren Leight’s Side Man. Since that time I have sought his help on major auditions including for the role of Roy Cohn in the Signature Theater’s revival of Angels in America. I trusted Michael with these big moments because he’s kind, he listens and he has a great breadth and depth of experience as a director, actor, and coach. Michael has eaten up all the good thoughts anyone ever had about acting and put them all to practice. Take this man by the wing and get under it until he lets go and you find yourself flying!!!”
Frank Wood, Tony Award-winning Actor

“I’ve had the honor of working with Mastro not just once, but twice while I was training at Atlantic Acting School. His business of acting workshop helped my creativity flourish by giving me the tools and the permission as a young artist to follow my own path and forge it, to be bold and brave, and most importantly follow my gut instinct when it came to be noticed in a crowded space. When we got to work together again in a scene study class, his ability to see new angles and push each of us in unique ways to use our toolbox to its fullest worked wonders on the scenes. Always present, listening, and generous, Mastro is a teacher to be recognized.

"Really doesn't matter whether it's film, TV or theater, or whether an actor needs a coach for a specific audition, a consult on the 'business of the business' or an on-going acting class, I always send them to Michael Mastro. His acting resume, teaching experience, warmth, humor, and love for the craft always makes him my very first recommendation.”
