About Jacob

I hold an MFA in Acting from The New School and certificates in acting from the British American Drama Academy and The Powerhouse Theatre. Post-graduate professional development includes the National Alliance of Acting Teachers and Lincoln Center Activates. Website: Thisisjacobpresson.com

About the lesson

We analyze scripts—the who-what-when-where-why of it all, the characters, relationships, objectives, and obstacles, the beat-by-beat exploration of the text. I also help actors build practical skills such as working within time limits, taking direction, and adjusting quickly to the unexpected

Jacob is an incredible acting coach! With the training I received from Jacob, I was able to excel as an actor, ultimately getting into my top choice for graduate school. He is funny, insightful, smart and clearly loves what he does. I left each acting lesson feeling more and more inspired. Can not recommend his coaching enough!

I met Jacob at an Acting Teacher Training Program at Juilliard. He is a thoughtful, inquisitve and deeply empathetic human being who takes the time to get to know anyone who crosses his path. Did I mention that these qualities make him a fantastic acting teacher? They do! Anyone would greatly benefit from his teaching. Did I mention he is also a great actor with a lovely sense of humor? He is!

Jacob and I met each other while at acting school in New York City. I have had the pleasure of leaning on Jacob's wit, humor, and excellent teaching style for help with all kinds of auditions and jobs. Now as a professional Broadway actor I still contact Jacob regularly when I have an important job. He is exactly the type of hard working and good natured person you want on any team, and in every classroom.
