TESTIMONIALS:

“Gil Zabarsky is honest, sincere, and hilarious. Gil has helped my career enormously over the years by contributing unique feedback on my performance, helping tweak my resume and acting reels, and providing me with the tools to navigate this industry independently. He's as dedicated to his craft as he is passionate. Gil consistently provides useful feedback on performance for his students with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to watch his students succeed. I first met Gil four years ago and will forever be grateful not only for the acting accomplishments he has helped me reach but for a true friend and support system that always seems to be in my corner.”

—Stephen Gray, (Liberty or Death, Dying for Bid, Insidious: The Red Door) just wrapped a film for LIFETIME, wrapped another film directed by Haylie Duff.

“Gil has been expertly helpful as a coach. Whether it's getting me to notice habits that are getting in the way of my work or breaking down a scene–I am always better prepared after a coaching session with Gil. The solutions Gil poses are always tangible and helpful. He goes above and beyond to help get you what you need in a coaching session."

—Gemma Josephine

“An incredible acting teacher. After every session, I felt confident, encouraged and prepared for my auditions. Gil is sincere and gracious in his delivery of feedback. He is able to bring out the best in an actor. He is patient and is able to identify an actor’s strengths and blindspots. He meets the actor where they are which is invaluable. I always look forward to my coaching sessions. As my teacher at Stonestreet when I was at NYU, I appreciated Gil’s attention to detail and how he helped me advance in my acting. After graduation, I was sure he was the right person to take one-on-one lessons with to prepare for auditions.”

“Working with Gil has made me so much more confident at auditioning. I used to get stuck in my own head during self tapes. Gil gave me tangible methods for bringing out my best performances. I tend to be a perfectionist when it comes to my acting. Gil once worked on a self tape with me for three hours, wrapping up at midnight after he taught a full day of classes. That's the caliber of care and dedication you get when he coaches you.”

—Zack Palomo, Coaching Zack for years for everything from HBO shows to Netflix series, he just booked a huge feature that he's shooting in Atlanta.

“Gil’s coaching is top-notch. His feedback is always hyper-specific, tailored, and actionable: the perfect recipe for callbacks for everything from small projects to blockbusters. He has a near-miraculous ability to read just a few pages of a script and piece together a rich story that makes for an exceptional audition every time. The best coach anyone could ask for."
