           -David Beatty (Criminal Minds, Writer/Creator of GET SPY)

"If you want to be a working, confident, talented and successful actor in this industry there is no one who can get you there like Mark McPherson and Studio 24/7. I went from not work and zero confidence to having an agent, shoot a commercial with Ashton Kutcher and going to network for a series regular on a pilot for ABC. Mark knows what he's doing and he WILL get you where you need to go."

                           -Chelsea Alden (The People V. OJ Simpson, Jane The Virgin)

About Mark McPherson

At STUDIO 24/7, technique is developed through scene study, cold readings, improv & exercises.

 

Each actor's "technique" is as individual as a golfer's "swing" - it is specific and personal to each person.

 

The primary thrust of each class at the Studio, is to build confidence and get the actor working, NOW.

 

Every actor wants to be the best he can be, but too many actors stay in class, working on this "idea of perfection" and take YEARS to book jobs! Our classes encourage you working in the industry as quickly as possible, building more confidence and valuable experience.

Mark McPherson received his BA in Theater Arts from VA Tech in 1988, where he studied various techniques of acting and the many styles of theater. Mark was a student of the Advanced class for 14 years at the prestigous Beverly Hills Playhouse, and a member of the Master class for 8 years, under the direction of Milton Katselas.

 

While at the Playhouse, Mark was a member of the the Teacher Training Program. During that time he coached & tested teachers, such as Golden Globe Winner: Jeffery Tambor, to ensure their individual understanding of the acting approach, their critque style, and interplay with the students.

 

Mark has since developed a style of teaching, based on the work of Katselas, that is tailored to the individual. It's about building strength where someone is already strong, while simultaneously working on areas that need more help. That way, the actors career progresses, while they find growth and overcome challenges in their work.
