Learn from Michelle Danner

For decades, Michelle Danner has coached actors working at the highest levels of the entertainment industry.

Her students and clients have included:

Penélope Cruz  ·  Salma Hayek  ·  Henry Cavill  ·  Gerard Butler  ·  Seth MacFarlane
Chris Rock  ·  Andy Garcia  ·  Zooey Deschanel  ·  Michael Peña  ·  Norman Reedus

This approach helps actors develop a personalized process they can use throughout their careers.
