Billy is on hiatus!

All classes are paused for a couple of months.

Billy still receives emails, but is on sabbatical to finish his play. He is still available for coaching.
The exception being mid September to mid October when he will be teaching in Zimbabwe.

As one of the only acting teachers in the US to star in Feature Films, TV series, and on Broadway, William (Billy) O’Leary has provided hundreds of actors with unparalleled training, audition coaching, and career advice.

After years as a senior faculty member at Lesly Kahn and Co®., Billy has developed a system that shows actors exactly what to do with every line of their audition in less than 5 minutes, guaranteed! (The Template)
