“Matt Newton is a wonderful presence and works well with actors, especially young performers. He is a consummate professional, coaching well, yet staying in keeping with the directors wishes.

“I owe my entire career to Matt. He taught me everything I know about breaking into the business, and led by example when we both moved to NYC to pursue acting careers. From headshots to the basics of auditioning, he helped me jump over so many hurdles I faced due to my lack of experience and training. I quickly landed a commercial agent, which led to a tv and film agent, which led to my first costar, my first recurring, and eventually my first series regular job, all because of Matt. I’ve also been lucky enough to act along side him, as in addition to being an incredible coach, he’s a gifted and experienced actor. ”

“I came to MN Acting studio needing a coach for my first lead in a indie film in 2018. What I have gained six years later, I cannot express into words how thankful I am for Matt Newton. I’ve spent most of my life as a commercial actress and a model but I knew I was ready to become part of a community of actors to establish myself in this industry. I have been coaching and training with Matt for nearly 6 years now. Within those six years I have booked a co-star appearance, two leads in feature films, countless hours of training and growth and numerous commercials. More importantly what I’ve gained from working with Matt has been support, community, growth and self-confidence as an actress. I am beyond grateful for his knowledge, ability to teach and inspire.

“I’ve been acting my entire life more than three decades. Auditioning is some thing that became second nature for me. I never really considered the need for any coaching or help with regard to self tapes until I hit a bit of a point where while I was taping often, I wasn’t booking the jobs nearly as often as I had hoped. I reached out to Matt, because his reputation was stellar, and I saw firsthand, after my first session with him, what an absolute difference he made for me. Not only in the end result, (which has been incredibly impressive, I’ve booked three excellent jobs in less than a year working with Matt) but also in how I feel before, I go into making a taped audition, during the audition, and after I’ve sent it off. Matt cares tremendously about what he does and his focus is clean and simple. Thanks Matt, for opening my eyes and making selftaped fun again!””
