Since 1985, Piero Dusa has been a stalwart of the acting industry. This expertise, as both an industry leader and innovator, makes Mr. Dusa one of the most sought after acting instructors and private client media consultants in the business. Mr. Dusa currently offers private coaching for beginning, advanced, and working professionals in the areas of: on-camera film, television, and commercial training; self-direction at an audition from the callback to the screen test; and intensive character study. Because character work is at the heart of all acting, Mr. Dusa has conceived and defined a new approach to character work, resting upon the notion that, through understanding one's authentic self, one can manifest a three-dimensional character. This revolutionary instructional service is extensive and hence comprises three categories: Character Preference TM, Character Expression SM, and Character Pathology SM. Character Preference TM will teach you to understand your preferences and to differentiate your preferences from those of the character. This enables you to get yourself out of the way so you can step into your character with confidence, specificity, and conviction. Character Expression SM is the performing aspect of the instructional service. Given a particular role, you will use the Preference Service as well as Dusa's 16 levels of acting to further build, expand upon, and truly become the character. Character Pathology SM is the final unmasking of the character. It focuses on inner conflict, the character's struggle and duality. When you have fully grasped your character's pathology, your performance will reflect both the simplicity and complexity of real-life human behavior. Mr. Dusa is also a creator of Writers Preference SM, which teaches writers how to create dialogue and behavior that express the character's specific preferences.
