Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and, as I may say, the whirlwind of passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.
Hamlet Act III, scene 2, line 1.

Directing: A Creative Journey of Over 30 Years

For over three decades, directing has been a special craft that I’ve passionately honed. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with incredibly talented performers and designers on numerous remarkable productions.

Picnic

The ability to transform words on a page into a living, breathing world—brought to life by the actor’s characters and the designer’s visuals—and then witnessing an audience’s reaction is truly priceless. My directorial career has been marked by a diverse range of award-winning productions, including The Trojan Women, The Golden Samurai, and Everyman. I’ve also directed productions that have entertained, educated, and engaged audiences, such as Picnic, The Complete Works of Shakespeare, The Maids, Animal Farm, For Colored Girls, Dracula, The Glass Menagerie, La Ronde, Rashomon, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Miss Julie, Waiting for Godot, Paolo and Francesca, Barefoot in the Park, Twelfth Night, The Dixie Swim Club, A Runner Stumbles, Psycho Beach Party, Baby with the Bathwater, Sorrow’s End, Much Ado About Nothing, and many more.

La Ronde

These experiences have not only enriched my understanding of storytelling and character development but have also deeply influenced my approach to voiceover. Whether I’m narrating an audiobook, delivering a corporate message, or creating a character for animation, the lessons learned from directing continue to inform and inspire my voiceover work.
