“ActorClass helped me communicate with presence, pitch with power, and lead with clarity—skills that directly impacted my ability to build SERHANT. and lead my team on Owning Manhattan.”

Ryan Serhant, CEO of SERHANT., Author, Producer, Netflix & Bravo Personality

Communication Is the #1 Skill
Corporate Teams Struggle With

Projects derail when messages are missed or misunderstood.

Sales opportunities die because reps lack presence.

Remote meetings drag on and drain morale.

Without focused training, even great talent defaults to confusion—not connection.

“David has a unique ability to create an environment where you feel completely at ease, allowing you to show up as your authentic self. Every session feels productive, challenging, and surprisingly therapeutic. Our teams leave not only knowing that we’ve improved as performer and speakers, but that we’ve also magically become more “ourselves” as individuals and as a collective.

David is incredibly talented, deeply invested in his clients, and is one of the easiest people you’ll ever talk to. Working with him has been one of the most rewarding — and fun — investments our company has ever made. Now we work with him at least once every two months. We always send any new staff members to work with him right away. Working with David has become a rite of passage for our company.”

– Andrew Bowen  Partner/ CO-Founder

“The ActorClass community has been transformative for my work as a writer, producer, storyteller and performer. Epstein is much more than an acting coach – he’s a guide. Every class brings his crackling, contagious energy and boundless enthusiasm to bear on the strange project of acting. He’ll demand more of you than you ever thought you had – and if you listen to him (and your classmates!) and do the work, you’re likely to find it. I found my way to ActorClass in the midst of re-thinking a long career as a broadcast journalist. I’ve done a lot of investigative work including undercover. I found the performative aspect compelling, but didn’t know how to explore it, how to get inside. David helped to liberate me – he taught me how to effectively approach the emotional work – and, after being cast as the host on Travel channel’s, Paranormal Declassified, I’m not looking back.”

– Paul Beban Author, Television host, Emmy-winning journalist.

“Although we work together online with me based in Portugal and David in New York, every session feels incredibly personal and impactful. My goal was to become a more articulate and confident communicator in English, as it’s not my first language, and to also achieve stronger presentational skills in my sales work and public speaking. David is an outstanding teacher, an accomplished actor, and above all, a genuinely good human being. He brings a rare combination of experience, honesty, and intuition to every session. He’s direct when you need him to be, encouraging when it matters, and has an exceptional ability to uncover habits and limiting beliefs you didn’t even realize were holding you back.This journey has been a work in progress and a real eye-opener. If you’re considering working with David, I couldn’t recommend him more highly. I’m excited to continue with him and see where it leads. Your company should too.”
