The Benson Style
Organic Acting
"Molli Benson is not for the faint of heart
But for actors who have heart"
Through 38 years of experience in coaching hundreds of actors, Molli Benson has developed a style to coach that will fit every actor's needs for the way that they learn.
She will help you bring out your own uniqueness. Your own special quality, that no one possesses but you. To find and develop what you have inside, so you can bring depth and reality to any character you play. Gaining confidence in yourself, you will then open up the many secrets you have inside.
She believes that actors are able to work on more than one thing at a time, and uses a hands-on approach and working on an individual basis to address each actor's needs.
"Sometimes when you take chances, you take a fall. Or many falls. Doesn’t matter. In fact, it will make you even stronger."
She brings the truth, energy, passion, freedom and intimacy into every actor and their work. No matter what level you are at, she will bring out "the more you are."
"Never lose your Spirit."
