Abacus

Studio City, CA
Screenwriter / Playwright and Producer

As a playwright, television director, producer, and acting coach, I  have spent the past thirty-five plus years in the entertainment industry. I continue to mentor early and mid-career acting talent. Being on this site gives me an opportunity to tap into a vast pool of creative energy. here in Hollywood. This venue offers me a chance to give-back to the creative community .. I devote my time to a select few professional artists, creative specialist, craft’s persons and to those who are  passionately committed  to following their dreams. Using the format of creative collaboration, I endeavor to open up the pathway to personal success by using my business relationships, and spiritual commitment ..
Jump into the circle knowing we can do better together!

CommentHi, Abacus (aka Barry)! It's nice to add you to my ever-growing network.

Do you know people who find themselves occasionally in need of a "PRIVATE ACTING COACH"? Perhaps they have this big upcoming audition and they would really like an experienced pro to help them prepare for the audition?

If the above situations or something similar is something they find themselves in once in a while, please don't hesitate to have them contact me during their time of acting coaching need.

Incidentally, I also edit awesome "ARTIST DEMO REELS". Check out my profile for more info, video work samples, and peer endorsements. Thanks!
