Read what former students and fellow professionals
have to say about the Robert Patterson Studio:
Ted Danson -
“Studying with Robert Patterson gave me a concrete and specific way of working which has served me
throughout my career. The skills I learned for building a character have enabled me to approach my
craft with confidence and flexibility. His studio is indispensable for any actor serious about learning
the art of acting.”
JoBeth Williams -
“Robert Patterson’s acting studio gave me a true technique to use in any acting situation—theatre,
film, or television. When I studied with Bob, I discovered that there was a real, concrete craft to the
seemingly ephemeral art of acting which could be applied throughout one’s life as an actor.
I would recommend Robert Patterson’s classes for any actor serious about his or her craft.”
Pearl Lang - Choreographer - Director, Pearl Lang Dance Theatre -
“The Robert Patterson Studio stimulates, and inspires growth and versatility in the actor through the many
involvements in theatre forms leaving no stone unturned.”
Tim Kelleher - Actor - Off-Broadway - Film - TV -
“It’s tough to imagine being in this profession without the benefit of having studied with Robert Patterson.
There isn’t a day the goes by – from preparing an audition to the moment of performance – that I
don’t draw on what he has taught me. Then there’s the whole broader context of the aesthetic he imparts –
a whole other story – that helps keep things perspective. It has helped me move into the related fields of
writing and directing. I am very grateful for my experience with Bob. I would encourage anyone serious about
becoming a versatile actor to study with him.”
Amy Warner - Actor -
“Studying with Robert Patterson twenty-five years ago prepared me for work I’ve since done in television
and theatres across the country. I’ve never forgotten the things I’ve learned in his class. He truly taught me
how to act.”
Tom Vasiliades - Director,
Alexander Technique Center for Performance and Development -
“Bob Patterson’s students are equipped with a solid way of working and an understanding that the
instrument must be fully trained. They have an awareness of what is needed and the ability to create it.
It is clear that they have learned a great deal from Bob Patterson.”
Michael Griffiths - Actor/Producer - Living in Oblivion -
Actor/Producer/Director - The Arc Light Theater -
“One of the most important results of working with Bob is simply confidence.
Bob offers a complete way of working that allows the actor to make strong, specific choices and
improvise fully in any given set of imaginary circumstances.
That spells confidence - a trait I find sorely lacking in most actors I meet today.”
"An actor is an instrument in tune with his entire environment."
