I've attended several of Marco's courses and benefit enormously each time from his all-around expertise as an actor, director, and casting coach. His over 40 years of experience, combined with a clear and motivating methodology, make the courses inspiring, professional, and yet welcoming. Every course provides valuable "aha" moments and strengthens presence, expressiveness, and self-confidence. Anyone who wants to develop artistically or personally is in the best hands with Marco!

Having now spent time on real film sets several times, I am all the more grateful to Marco for all the valuable knowledge he shared with us students (both in modules and individual coaching). His feedback has been incredibly helpful in my acting development. But it wasn't just the content that allowed me to grow significantly – the wealth of practical information was also extremely helpful in enabling me to navigate the set professionally. I am very grateful to Marco for sharing this knowledge with us and preparing me so well for the realities of filmmaking. It gives me confidence and guidance in the day-to-day work of a filmmaker. If you want to progress and receive precisely the kind of feedback that will truly help you advance, you've come to the right place.

The course was stressful and involved many discussions; all things considered, it wasn't a positive experience. Marco is a very self-confident person and certainly demonstrates extensive experience in the field, but I often found the lessons lacking in content and overly theoretical. Marco enriches the course with personal experiences and lessons, rather than exercises, and leaves each rehearsal unsupervised for a very long time. I would recommend this course to adults seeking a theoretical introduction to theater or to young people who want to meet a professional actor, but not to actors who see theater as a source of experience and enjoyment. Marco was open and friendly from the beginning when I shared my criticism with him. I feel I learned something, and I thank him for that, but ultimately, I don't think it was worth the cost for me.

I rediscovered my passion for acting in Marco's courses and thoroughly enjoyed the pleasant and engaging atmosphere. Marco possesses extensive knowledge in all aspects of acting and filmmaking. You learn a great deal in a short amount of time, only new and important material. I particularly appreciated that the course programs are focused on specific topics, intensive, described in detail on the website, and come with excellent learning materials. There is a limited number of participants in the courses, ensuring plenty of individual feedback. The scene shooting and editing are of very high quality and make the most of the scenes. I also really enjoyed the headshot photo session – Marco was very helpful in guiding me on what and how best to convey the content through the photos. Thank you so much!

Marco is an experienced international teacher who really helps you improve your acting skills. I like that he offers different modules, so both experienced actors and beginners can find the right courses. You can register for several modules at the same time, but if you have a day job like me, it's also possible to complete the modules you're interested in one after the other. This offers a lot of flexibility, depending on your level and the time you have available.
