About Portland, OR
Nestled in between the Willamette and Columbia rivers, the beautiful city of Portland is the most populated city in the state of Oregon and the third most populous in the Pacific Northwest section of the country, just behind Seattle and Vancouver. Portland is known to be a progressive city, and has put into place innovative land-use initiatives as well as a heavy investment in its public transit system. The city enjoys a placid, northwestern climate and weather pattern, with warm, balmy summers and misty, rainy weather in the winters, not unlike Seattle.
Portland also shares a similar cultural spirit. Known for its hip, thriving nightlife, coffee shops, bars, nightclubs, and fine restaurants, the city offers young professionals one of the most cosmopolitan urban cultures on the west coast. This emphasis on culture has led to quite a thriving arts movement in the city, and Portland is now known for its diverse collection of artists and art organizations. The city was rated one of the 10 best arts cities in the U.S. in 2006. Portland is also home to well-respected Portland Art Museum, the Oregon Ballet Theatre, the Oregon Symphony, and the Portland Opera.
Portland, like other U.S. cities, is based around a collection of different regions and neighborhoods. The West Side of the city is the oldest and most densely populated, but Downtown is located in the southwest section of the city. Some of the various neighborhoods of the city include: Forest Park, Goose Hollow, Hillside, Linnton, Kenton, Overlook, Piedmont, and Alameda.

About Acting
While many people consider acting to be an art that either comes naturally to a person or not, there is in fact a tangible, teachable craft to the art of acting that is both necessary and engaging. The theory of acting dates back to as far as the beginning of the art itself, with the ancient Greeks perfecting their dramatic and comedic abilities in the open-air theatres of antiquity. Today, contemporary acting students can benefit from thousands of years of history and experience within the realm of acting tutoring and instruction, from the Greeks and Romans, to Shakespearian and Renaissance-period acting, to modern “method” acting and realistic schools of drama used so prominently in the film industry and on stage.
There are many aspects to consider when studying acting, such as strong vocal projection, natural emotional and physical gestures and reactions, a well-developed imagination, the ability to grasp the perspective of a particular character, the ability to imitate dialects and accents, and the art of improvisation. In order to grasp these facets of acting, one must study and practice with professional teachers and tutors who are adept at clearly explaining the methodologies and challenging student actors to push themselves into creative, new directions artistically.
Whether you are a young child, a teenager, a university student, or a professional adult and are seeking instruction in acting, our tutors can assist you. Our professional tutors hold advanced degrees or extensive training in acting and can tutor and help in subject areas such as accents and dialects, vocal projection, physical gestures, improvisation, perspective, comedy, drama, and emotion. Instruction and homework help in acting is offered in various cities and towns such as Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and others.
