Millán Acting Studio

Actor Training Services for Film, Television and Theatre | Audition Video Coaching/Shooting/Editing

René Millán has trained and coached actors ranging from seasoned professionals to absolute beginners. He has taught everywhere from the Yale School of Drama, Syracuse University, and Vanderbilt University to community outreach programs and public schools.

He teaches film, television, and theatre acting techniques, as well as skills in audition technique, and physical actor training based on the Suzuki Method. He draws upon his deep knowledge and understanding of the concepts of master acting teachers and theorists (Stanislavski, Michael Chekhov, Stella Adler, Sanford Meisner) and synthesizes these teachings and his own approach with a powerful and robust training that will allow the actor to develop and trust their own process.

René teaches actors to get out of their own way and to trust and love their work, free from self-criticism. René teaches actors how to connect the mind and the body to allow rich character portrayals to take center stage.

On Set Acting Coach

I have been on many sets and have been given the compliment by directors and producers that I come to the set prepared, focused, collaborative and very easy to work with. I bring out the best in actors and will bring that same attention to detail and calm to any set that I'm working on to help keep a productions vision alive.
