Gregory has helped reconnect me to my imagination as an actor and to my sense of mission as an artist.
His method is both rigorous and irreverent, always pushing you to question yourself and your surroundings. By unleashing your innate sense of playfulness, he grounds you in the most active and surprising ways – allowing you to unmask your privacy.

Working with Gregory Berger has been a revelation. His approach centers around unleashing and tending to your innate imaginative capacity. He has taught me how to investigate text with specificity and how to load up my imagination, trusting that emotion follows when adequately provoked by specific imaging. His work involves investigating all senses in order to create three dimensional characters that are unique and born of the actor’s personal interests. Ultimately, my work with Berg has taught me how to trust myself, and that is invaluable!

Headshot of Winston Duke, SAG Award–winning actor, privately coached by celebrity acting coach Berg

Gregory and I have had the creative pleasure of working together. Berg has supported not only my craft and creation, but my very instrument.
He carries a deep, humane awareness that the art is only ever as connected as the artist. Because of that, he meets me exactly where I am and builds from that place.
He never imposes ideas...he joins me in enthusiastic curiosity, helping me navigate the inevitable discomfort that leads”
