Acting (Film & TV) • On-Camera Audition Technique • Self-Tape Coaching

Michael Connors is an actor, director, and teacher with over 25 years of experience working in film, television, and theatre. He has spent decades training actors in on-camera technique, audition preparation, and performance grounded in emotional truth and presence.

​

Michael’s approach focuses on helping actors move beyond “performing” and into authentic, moment-to-moment experience. His work emphasizes deep preparation, clear storytelling, and the ability to let go—allowing the scene to take over rather than trying to control it. He is known for creating a focused, supportive environment where actors can take risks, trust their instincts, and deliver work that feels real, specific, and alive.

​

“I’ve known Michael for over twenty years and his work as an actor & director has been one of
simplicity, honesty and intelligence, with a keen eye for what matters to all of us.”
-Philip Seymour Hoffman (Academy Award Winning Actor)
