Client Feedback-:
“Mark Barford is one of my favorite acting coaches I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. His understanding of text and analysis is what I was looking for going into training, but he also has such a clear way of disseminating the information to me! I was challenged and championed and truly my perspective has absolutely changed. I feel capable and also like I can have fun and learn and truly connect to my characters. He is the best.” Johanna Moise, Broadway’s Hamilton
“Mark Barford presented two Viewpoints workshops for WA Youth Theatre Company last weekend, one for drama teachers and one for our cohort of emerging actors. As a facilitator, he scored a 98% average across the sessions. Damn near perfect! He embodies the best of the WAYTCo ethos, he is an artist who can powerfully impart a deep knowledge, both theoretical and practical of his professional practice. Our workshop participants were inspired by his generosity, command and experience. Being a student of the almost legendary Anne Bogart he brought a powerful authenticity to the experience for all of our workshop participants. Their one complaint, the workshops weren’t nearly long enough!” James Berlyn, Executive Producer WA Youth Theatre Company
"I loved the masterclass today, great instructor. He had such a lovely manner, informative and everyone felt at ease. Thank you again for the opportunity." Drama Teacher, Belinda Massey
