I have been working professionally as an actor for 26 years and during that time I have worked with some extraordinary people with varied approaches to acting. Much of that work was valuable. But Tony Grahn’s approach is different to anything I’ve experienced before, because he deals with “the moment”, by which I mean his method helps the actor find focus and stay present. And not just in acting, I think in life. Tony’s work is the antidote to any acting training that binds the actor in a knot of thoughts. It clears all that away and is ultimately a practice that empowers the individual and encourages us to trust ourselves once more. Total game changer for me. I wholeheartedly recommend and very grateful.

Tony Grahn is one of the first acting teachers I chose to work with starting up the film actors academy amsterdam (faaam) in 2005. For many years my students have adopted his unique approach of acting and frequently I speak to alumni who still are practicing this when they perform in front of the camera. Students remember Tony as a very empathic and constructive teacher, who is able to break through their old patterns and “system” of acting. In The Netherlands he is the only acting coach with these specific skills. As leader of the program but also as an actor I still enjoy working with this inspiring personality!

I found Tony’s Masterclass invigorating, inspiring and incredibly freeing. Unlike most acting teachers, Tony demystifies the acting process to make it something that is precise, clear and simple. His ReFocus Method gives the actor an infallible set of tools to be able to tackle any role with truthfulness and best of all it is a process that can be practised in daily life. Put simply, if you attend one of Tony’s classes with enough hunger and passion you will become a better actor.

One of the most valuable acting classes I have had were from Tony Grahn. A remarkable individual with a very efficient and unique approach to dealing with the ‘now’. How to get rid of the ‘noise’ and gain maximum efficiency with ones focus. His teachings are beyond the scope of just an acting application. It has not only helped me tremendously with acting, but also with my mindset when fighting in the ring. I look forward to the next workshop!

Tony’s workshop was a real eye-opener. The techniques he teaches seem at first almost too simple to be effective – that is until you watch others try them out. I was honestly taken aback at how transformative his approach can be, as were the rest of my class. One of the great things about the ReFocus method is that it takes you out of your head, and helps stop the internal ‘noise’, something that has affected my performances in the past. I came away from the two days with renewed enthusiasm and confidence. If you have the chance, definitely give the course a go.

Tony gives very useful tools for an actor and points perfectly well out how you can reach by lesser means and efforts a tremendous effect. His approach is sharp (no escapes possible) but gently…The technique he uses is down to earth and practical which is appealing.

“Tony Grahns workshop kan mycket väl vara den viktigaste jag någonsin gått på. Den är helt fundamental i det arbetet går ut på att identifiera och släppa kroppsliga spänningar, leverera replik utan att ställa sig i vägen för och färga den samt att rikta densamma med ett tydligt fokus och lyssna av reaktionen – något som är nog så lätt att glömma bort när prestationsdjävulen sätter in…den gav verkligen otroligt mycket och Ditt sätt att kommentera och vägleda vittnade om omtanke i stället för att andas kritik, som inte är så ovanligt…

ReFocusMethod is method that is as efficient as it is simple. Working with Tony Grahn opened up my mind to a whole new simple perspective on acting. Truly mind opening.

…Tony’s workshop was simple and effective without demanding psychological backflips…It’s harder work than it sounds, and Tony won’t let you off the hook easily, but all the participants were pleasantly surprised when, as if from nowhere, their performances gained a new depth and truthfulness…Tony is patient, clear and fair at every step…

I’ve had two game changing moments in drama class lately. One was last summer at BGB Studios in Los Angeles courtesy of Felipe Figueroa. The other one was this weekend in Stockholm, courtesy of Tony Grahn at The Method Lab. We’re all different, but those guys are for me incredible coaches. I will work with both of them again. That’s just a fact. //Happy and very tired

Tony shows you the way to your own artistic truth, in a direct and straight forward manner. I walked out of his workshop with a rekindled passion for acting. Thank you Tony!

Best Masterclass I had so far. This method just works for me. Tony is also a genius in maintaining a wonderful atmosphere where any actor can be totally at ease being vulnerable. Love that about him. Thanks again Tony

…His approach is very practical and simple, and with a lots of humor. He understands actors and really knows what acting is about. He is able to give you the practical tools to get the best out of your performance…I used Tony Grahn’s method while working opposite Sir Anthony Hopkins in ”Kidnapping Mr. Heineken’’ and currently I am using it for my lead performance in the Stage Musical ”The Bodyguard”.

Tony’s workshop “ReFocusMethod” is really helpful…I personally did both the first and the advanced class, and it’s helping me in my work every day…also very helpful if you head into auditions, or if the director changes his mind and wants a completely different thing from you. This method helps you really be the most flexible actor you can ever be.

…It was an exciting weekend with a lot of fun. …Tony Grahn is a warm, authentic, quiet and intense person sharp on what is happening on the floor. And this all in a very nice combination of elegance and constructive criticism…So my wishes for you all is: meet Tony Grahn… He will give you with his Method warmth and a very nice mirror for the rest of your (working) life!!!!
