Brian Zoldessy is the greatest acting teacher I have ever had. I give
him a lot of the credit for my college acceptances.  He's funny, caring,
and intelligent, and I've recommended him to everyone I know seeking a
coach.

Great Acting Coach in our own backyard.......a gifted actor and
director, he is also terrific as an acting instructor.  He shows you how
to start with the basics of acting and then how to build on those basics
to get the layered performance that every actor strives for.  His
passion and respect for his craft have certainly inspired me to pay
"even more attention to the work".

Subject: Celebrating a great performance
Date: Mon, 23 May 2005 17:19:06 -0400

I had one of those rare moments the other day. I saw a local actor give
a once-in-a-lifetime performance. It was even more unusual, in that the
performance was in a new play which still needed work. The play is
called TO KNOW HIM, a drama by Albi Gorn about an AIDS patient and a
female rabbinical student who comes to visit him. They argue religion,
talk about old movies, and ultimately she tries to get him to reconcile
with his estranged father. The incredibly riveting performance was by
Brian Zoldessy, who so inhabited the role with every breath, movement,
look, gesture, and action that I will likely remember it to the end of
my life .Brian himself had a severely life-threatening illness earlier
this year --where he was in and out of the hospital for a good 3 months.
His experience clearly shaped how he handled the role.  With painstaking
physical work --from the smallest details, like putting lotion on his
leg - Zoldessy showed exhaustion, anger, pain, and spiritual despair -
yet instead of being depressing, the effect was exhilarating. No one
could take their eyes off him . It reminded me how one can't really
judge a script until it is fully incarnated. I would have dismissed this
play as predictable and way too talky had I read a draft. But with this
textured, loving performance fueling it, it ended up being deeply
moving. I just wanted to celebrate a wonderful performance!
