TESTIMONIALS

John Bashford

Head of Acting (NIDA)

“Michael lives and breathes the craft of acting in action; At NIDA, he has brought his passion for the craft of acting to help an entire generation of actors become their best”

David Berry

Outlander (Netflix)

“Michael Sheasby is an actor defined by an uncompromising dedication to authenticity and integrity. His approach is genuine and sensitive. He brings deep craft knowledge and real industry experience, paired with a rare ability to nurture the creative soul of the actor.”

Masha Basman

Lady Death (Bronte Studios)

“As I gear up to finally lead this film I can’t help but feel immense gratitude for the role you have played in guiding me through this process. I left our session yesterday truely feeling like I wouldn’t be in this position in my career if it wasn’t for you and our sessions. Every time I drift off the path that feels the most energising to me you have always somehow managed to guide me right back onto it. Your guidance has assisted me in finding my voice and my truth in my work and this industry as a whole. 

Jonah Day

Greyhound 2 (Apple TV+)

“I just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve taught me. Your guidance, insight, and honest feedback have made a huge impact on the way I approach performance, both technically and emotionally and also on my confidence towards screen. Since our lessons began I’ve learned so much not only about the craft of acting for the camera but also about trusting myself and staying grounded and present in each moment.”

Jane Mahady

The Great (Netflix)

“It’s truly the best help I’ve ever had.

Sometimes the most frustrating thing is knowing that something is off, but not knowing how to break through the barriers one needs to in order to flow. Mike knows how to get through those barriers. And now all the things I knew in my head, I feel that I now know in my body. More than anything, the changes feel exciting and sustainable. I would recommend Mike’s coaching to absolutely anyone wanting to explore or change absolutely anything in their career”

Ezekiel Simat

Artful Dodger (Disney+)

“I found this perfect for where I am at right now. Areas where I was grey got clarified and I walked away with actionable strategies to move me and my career forward! No one else is teaching this and it’s, in my opinion, the most important stuff to learn.”

Nick Drummond

Colin from Accounts (paramount+)

"After working with Mike for over half a decade, I can confidently say that he has been the single biggest influence on how I approach and navigate my career."

Jacob Warner

Hacksaw Ridge (Warner Bros)

“Working with Micheal has completely changed my approach to my career. Anyone who wants to strip away the crap and refine how they approach their work and build a sustainable career should seek him out.”

Libby Kay

The Rainmaker (Peacock)

“I think I improved more over those few weeks than a whole year at drama school because the teachings came from a place of empowerment. Look I just wanna say thank you from the bottom of my heart, this felt like a turning point in my career.”

Lauren Grimson

Beast of War (Bronte Studios)

“My sessions with Mike have been nothing short of transformative - both personally and professionally. He has helped me navigate prep for three separate films, grounded in work and method that is specific to me. He has an uncanny ability to identify what is needed to pierce the veil and break through to the other side with generosity of spirit, love, guidance and care. My creative inner world has flourished, my excitement for the craft is reinvigorated. It has been a gift.”

Sam Delich

Territory (Netflix)

“So many coaches push acting "techniques”. Instead, Michael focuses on what works individually for each creative in order to feel free, energised, and utilises practical approaches to dealing with the pressure that comes with not only Auditions and the work, but the space between. Mentally sorting out and distilling my preparation has made me look forward to challenging scenes and auditions instead of fearing them. Could not recommend more.”

Damien Strouthos

The Twelve (Foxtel)

“One of, if not the most important learning experiences of my life.”
