Creative Coaching
Unleash your creativity.
Are you a creative person but just can't get down to creating? Have you buried your creativity all your life in favour of financial security?

Guy Masterson can coach you through all the processes that will shift your creative endeavours from dreams into reality.
One-To-One Acting
How brilliant can you be?
Have you always been regarded as a "good" actor? Could you be "brilliant?" Are you aware of the things that might be getting in the way of it? Do you think too much? Does your body do things it shouldn't? How can you be more true to the moment? Guy Masterson will get to the core of your talent and technique and help you clear away the chaff that clouds your charisma, the mixed messages that you might be putting out and eliminate the fears that weaken your presence...
