Matt is a student of The Ardavany Approach, an actor training program founded by Tom Ardavany. The Ardavany Approach is an innovative method to enhance perception and creative expression for actors. By utilizing The Approach, the actor connects to his inner "present" power source for maximum impact both on-camera and on-stage. This innovative, "conscious" route into the process of acting is easily accessible and extremely effective. "Tom Ardavany is a motivator who can direct and inspire my best work in the most simplistic fashion." - Matt Gerald.
