Pete Rasmussen is my secret ingredient to making outstanding TV commercials for our clients. His relationships with talent and their agents ensure we see top notch talent for every project, his commitment to the craft is admirable and he is my first choice for casting every time.

I was looking for a weekly, ongoing class where I could learn new techniques and consistently improve over time. I learnt that patience, persistence, and hard work does pay off. He would elucidate feedback in a way that enabled me to give a more authentic performance. Transference is my favourite technique Peter used, very effective for me personally. He taught me that you can get better with time and practice, and just because you don’t start off with Oscar-worthy performances, it doesn’t mean you can’t get there. Peter is one of the most patient acting coaches you will come across. He genuinely cares about his students’ learning which is evident through the supportive environment he fosters in the classroom. @theoneshu

Peter has truly taught me the art of ‘subtly on camera’ when auditioning for a role. He utilises his techniques and exercises so wonderfully in the moment, that before I knew it I was no longer “acting” or “pushing”, I was simply was telling the truth. He has enabled me to learn what is important when auditioning for film and TV and what to simply throw away. Not only is Peter an amazing teacher, he is also a real ally in championing his students all the way to reaching their goals. I simply couldn’t have gotten where I am today without his help and guidance.

It’s rare to find a person so dedicated to extracting the best out of a performance or the artist. I had the pleasure of working with Peter in two self-tests, both very last minute and time stressed. Through workshopping and direction we explored together to come up with two tests that I walked away proud of; which to me is the aim of the game. Knowing you’ve put your best foot forward and your hat in the ring for a part is the beginning and the end of our work sometimes. If you can say you’ve done that, you’ve done your work.Oh, and I got the job. Maybe both…

Peter Rasmussen brings his years as a casting director and actor to his coaching with an eclectic mix of wisdom, humor and insight. He is a gentle yet honest coach with great compassion. I highly recommend the professional as well as the beginner to work with this man!
