"Being a trained theater
actor from New York, I had a hard time adjusting to the type of auditions I was getting
here in LA, mainly for film and television. I kept hearing that my work was "too
big" which was really putting me in my head. Having a similar background, Sydney was
able to help me make the adjustment to film and television and translate my feedback into
positive active choices that freed my acting in a way like never before. I have been
booking jobs ever since!"
"It was my pleasure to teach Sydney Brenner in classes at The Actors
Center in New York. Her acting work was distinguished by her courage,
openness to new ideas, strong intellect, humanity, empathy and huge
determination. I am certain that her current teaching demands a high
standard of achievement from the actor in front of her as well as
an exceptional amount of skill, experienced wisdom and empathetic
guidance from herself." "Sydney is precisely the kind
of acting teacher and coach the industry needs. There is such a tremendous concentration
on the business of being an actor--getting the agent, the auditions, the movie role or
guest spot--that the craft is neglected or even forgotten. Sydney has the sensitivity,
intelligence and perception to respond to the individual actor's strengths and weaknesses,
bringing about the best in their work for their given role or audition." "Sydney possesses the
qualities a good acting teacher requires - she is bright, articulate, nurturing and has an
eye for talent. She is dedicated to her work and instills that in those who work with
her." "First off, Eric Strickland is a Jedi. He named his son Luke for cryin out loud. Which means he's the Vader of acting training...Darth Strickland if you will, which means he's badass. Second off, his academic knowledge mixed with real world experience and down to earth demeanor has been invaluable to me at every step of my growth as an actor. He'll work with you, and I mean YOU. You will progress. You will book. Bottom line." Jerry Trainor (Actor) imdb “Sydney literally transformed our department
almost immediately. In my three years heading this program “It is without hesitation and with the utmost
pleasure that I write on the behalf of Sydney Brenner. One would be hard-pressed to find
someone more loyal, talented and committed. Sydney is a natural teacher and committed
artist. Not only did she do a stellar job while here at CSULB, but the students raved
about her in depth practical knowledge of the subject matter and excellence in teaching
style. Her classroom delivery was second to none, and she filled our hallways with
enthusiasm and joy.” This class is excellent. Sydney worked with me in a way that no other teacher has worked with me. She actually listens to what the actor is saying and delivers her feedback in a way that is specifically tailored to that specific actor so that he can grow and continue to get better. I could feel myself becoming more and more confident with the scene that I was given each week and then during the final performance, when an agent from Abrams was present, I reached an entirely new level. The end result was me being called in for a meeting by this particular agency. What more could you ask for out of a class? Nick Warnock (Actor) "Eric gets this business; he clarifies the audition process,
sharpens your skills and makes them effective for both on and off
camera auditions. He really builds the confidence you need to go out
there and get the job. I am so grateful for what I learned from
him. Eric helped guide my career in the direction it needed to go, and
because of his help, I landed an agent, got my Equity card, and began
to see great amounts of success. To this day, I have not found an
audition class that tops his. If you have the opportunity to study with
him, DO IT! You will thank yourself, when you are booking job after
job, that you did!" Wendi Bergamini (Actor) "Sydney is not just a good acting instructor;
she is an excellent instructor. She treats students as individuals and realizes that what Ryann Graye (Actor)
"Sydney Brenner was an acting student at the ART Institute of Advanced Theatre Training, whom I particularly enjoyed teaching. She proved herself to be gifted, smart, and dedicated, someone who would distinguish herself not only as an actress but as someone who could communicate to others what she already knew. " Robert Brustein "Sydney's empathic generous
spirit makes her an excellent coach. Her ability to be honest and giving to her students
makes them achieve their best work. Don't miss an opportunity to study with a woman with
such a unique vision! We have worked with many of her students and they can't say enough
about her skill and guidance." |
