Experienced tutor in Acting in Las Vegas, Michael offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Michael is a great acting/voice acting coach whose group workshops are always fun and informative. He patiently meets his students where they are, from beginners to more seasoned actors. On a number of occasions I have witnessed how he can easily elevate a student's read with a single note of direction. He has a way of really challenging his students' thought processes, helping them to reach a more natural and authentic place to perform from, yet he does this with a sense of grace and good humor. Highly recommended.

Michael has a very insightful eye for reading copy and finding details and truths I hadn't noticed. In my time with him, he was able to see things in the script and then show them to me in a way I could understand. Relatable is the best word to describe him, I think. He brings the truth to a place I can see it and make it my own. He doesn't just tell me how it should be said or played; that would be too easy and I don't think I would have learned anything from it. The way he teaches you isn't just regurgitating information or reciting lines from a text book, but he asks you questions about what YOU think and how YOU feel about the character or situation etc. Causing you to see it for yourself. That's the most valuable lesson to me: seeing it for myself, and Michael does that for us.

I have studied with Michael and many other coaches at TVAS. He has a very unique approach, and I have enjoyed his classes immensely. He is incredibly good at guiding you into "becoming" the role that you are playing, not just acting it out. I highly recommend him as a teacher and coach!

I have taken several classes taught by Michael Profunato. He mixes his positive upbeat love of acting with his deep acting knowledge to create a fun learning experience for novice and veteran actors alike. His classes are a fantastic fun way to learn about acting and how those skills can apply to other creative endeavors. Not only is Michael a natural teacher, but a great individual who goes above and beyond to help out his students, fellow actors and friends. Plus, he is an awesome Voice Over talent! I strongly recommend anyone to take advantage of an opportunity to learn from Michael Profunato.

Speaking from personal experience with Michael during his public and private lessons, I can highly recommend him! He has a long history of training successful actors in Los Angeles and right here in Las Vegas. His classes are hands on, energetic and very, VERY FUN! As a professional voice actor I value the variety of teaching techniques and depth of knowledge that Michael brings to all aspects of the business from on camera, to script reading, getting into character and performance choices.



For the professional or more experienced VO looking to get to the next level, Michael takes a deep dive into your abilities and technique honing those skills like a knife. Do yourself a favor and let Michael help you reach your potential, he will give you the tools to succeed.

Direct and to the point. Great at providing context and framework for feedback that was easy to understand. I had the opportunity to work with Michael in a classroom setting so got to see how he worked with each person individually and he tailored his method of feedback to specifically help each person.

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent (first) TVAS workshop with Michael. He has a very approachable, patient, relaxed style of direction - not intimidating! He listens well and quickly assessed what I needed to do to improve/adjust my reads. So helpful. He really takes time with each student, and I not only learned tips for myself, but gleaned a lot from his direction of fellow classmates. Would recommend and will take a class again from Michael!

It is important to understand that as an aspiring voice actor I have been told all my life that I have a voice for this. The ability to read aloud with clarity and few mistakes comes with practice, practice and practice. The missing component is the acting portion. Michael P. has the ability to handle whatever level you are at (beginner to seasoned) and add to your bag of tricks and you'll have a lot of laughs while doing it.

Michael has a unique coaching style that incorporates the skillset of physical acting with that of voice acting. By blending technical precision with internal mental and emotional processes, students learn to add nuanced layers to performances across the many genres of voice acting.

I'm a public speaker and I had a 22 page script that I had to work on to deliver to live groups MIchael really work with me on finding and plugging into the feelings that I needed before I started my presentation, so that I could deliver it to the audience spontaneous and real. Once you can see an image in your head all of the words come out easily. His style is very a different from what most coaches would tell you but it's the part of training that gets to the root of being able to do it by yourself over and over again . He's a genius and no one else has been able to get me to deliver my presentation the way he did. I've even work with Toastmasters trainers who helped me as well but Michael's coaching was much deeper and better. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING.

Michael has a very "down to Earth" approach. His class was very informative and his professional presentation made everything more than worthwhile. His comments were always constructive and presented in a manner that lead to a great learning experience.

Very honest

Michael has a way of showing people what their strengths are, as well as their challenges to overcome, that will transform you into a quality actor. He has a dynamic range of tools that will get you beyond where you even thought you needed to be. He provides exercises to do at home that not only benefit your performance but your day to day life. He is very patient, funny and wants you to succeed. If you need to get started with acting then you are lucky to have found Michael and if you already act but seek progress, then you need Michael. He will not waste your time and will expect your best efforts. To work with Michael has been a gift.

Plenty of advice on how to voice a copy. Great tips for anyone looking at pursuing a voice acting career
