Testimonials
Directors, agents, and actors alike all praise the work of Jeffrey Zeiner and his method:
Steve Fader,
Film Director
“On the set, there is never enough time to rehearse. The theory behind Jeffrey Zeiner’s method is the basis of what I use in order to prepare the actor for his scene. It worked for me as an actor and it works for me as a director. It is invaluable.”
Allison Cahill, Actor
“One of the most important things I’ve learned from Jeffrey is the importance of grounding and fleshing out any characterizations with specific details. He also stresses how to make strong and useful choices as quickly as possible. In essence, you are learning how to pay attention to what is given to you as well as learning more about yourself, your instrument, and how to use them more fully in performance. Jeffrey has pushed me to do scenes I didn't think myself capable of. In doing so, I believe I have grown as an actress, matured as a confident professsional, and had the time of my life doing it."
Bunny Gardner
Mateosian,
Actor
"I studied acting with Jeffrey Zeiner years ago and am STILL using acting techniques I picked up in his class. He is so encouraging, positive, clear, focused and dedicated to his students and their growth.
Jeffrey always challenged me with characters that were hard for me to get a handle on. After all, why do things in class that are a piece of cake? I know I am a better actress for his pushing me!"

I've been a recurring student in Jeffrey Zeiner's Film Technique class and I gotta say that the man is a genius. I'm a dancer turned Actor because of all that I've learned and will continue to learn while studying under Jeffrey. I even got my very first agent ( Margaret Emory of SW Artists) immediately after performing in Jeffrey's Zeiner's Live Showcase. I'm so grateful for everything and I'll continue to do my best. Thank you very much Jeffrey.
I just booked a role in my very first film, and I can't wait to tell everyone about it!
"Jeffrey Zeiner taught me more about acting than anyone I ever worked with."
