“Tory is more than just an acting coach—he’s a master at unlocking the subtle, nuanced elements that transform a performance from “good” to truly captivating. But what makes him truly exceptional is his ability to meet you where you are and guide you forward. I came to him as someone who had been performing in some capacity for years, but he helped me recognize the gaps in my craft and refine skills I didn’t even know I was missing.”
