Welcome to my high-energy, interactive, and fun acting course! I coach actors of all ages who are looking to find the joy in their acting. Even when your character is going through an incredibly difficult circumstance, it is my belief that we must find the joy in our process and performance!
We will warm up together, improvise together, and then I will coach you. I consider myself a forever student, as every great teacher should. And we learn how to be great actors, by continuing to act every single day. That is why every lesson, I will act opposite you.
I am also very open minded and we will tailor the lesson to your learning needs! Got a big audition (college included)? Gotcha. Want to work on your improv skills? Gotcha. Looking for a crash course on a specific acting technique (I'm certified in Method, Grotowski, Viewpoints, and More)! Gotcha.
I can't wait to work with you! :)

I had the pleasure of working with Sebastian as a director, and had such a good experience. He is so much fun to work with, and his passion and enthusiasm are infectious! He approaches this work with an open mind, and is all about exploration and collaboration. can’t recommend working with him enough!
I was lucky to have Sebastian Zuniga direct my original full-legnth production, “That Big Voice Inside My Head” for The New York Theater Festival. Throughout the four-month process, Sebastian breathed a new life into the play and added incredible nuance.
Sebastian has a unique sense of play, patience, and adaptability— which enhanced my acting performance and the overall play tenfold. I remember a rehearsal day when I left the room feeling incredibly fullfilled and prepared thanks to Sebastian’s clever use of physical gameplay. And it was a plus that my stomach also hurt from laughing so much… Sebastian’s hard work earned him the nomination of “Best Director” for “That Big Voice Inside My Head” thanks to his creativity, use of space, and whimsicality.
Along with directing my full-legnth original play, Sebastian has coached me on countless audition tapes. Sebastian’s teaching is warm, and playful. He listens to his students and caters to their specific needs. He is a brilliant creative and you’ll be lucky to bring him on as your coach. His charisma and positivity lights up any room he walks into! If you are lucky enough to work with Sebastian, he will get you out of your head and onto your material. You’ll be lucky to have Sebastian as your coach! I know I am.View more recommendations
