![Dina Shihabi]()
“The experience of working with Ben, is like working with a guide that brings you back to yourself. His approach is catered to you specifically. He notices how you breathe, where your impulses come from and then instead of getting in the way and telling you how to do something, he highlights how you’re already doing it and encourages you to go deeper. By doing this he’s made me trust myself so much more, and so my approach to the work is from a place of such quiet soft intuition. Nothing is forced. Nothing is about getting it right. Everything is about using what i already have, where i already am on this particular day in this specific moment and using that as the North Star. Because there is your center and the place with endless depth and possibility. Thank you Ben for reminding me of who I am.”

"Ben Mathes is a wonderful teacher and mentor. Having met him three years ago, I can honestly say he has fundamentally changed how I view my career, my work and the business as a whole. We have worked on numerous projects together and every time his observations and perspective have changed the depth of my work and how much I enjoy it. His classes are truthful, inspiring and much needed in world of quick fixes and shallow promises. I’m glad to know him and glad he’s teaching. It’s a relief to know that many more actors will be transformed by his approach, experience and insights."

“Working in Ben's class was a transformative experience for me. His approach, his energy, his passion, and his first hand knowledge of the industry has helped me to transition from a star in the octagon to a star on the screen.”

“Benjamin Mathes creates and hosts an environment that encourages artists to dive into what I think is one of the most (if not, the most) important thing about being a storyteller- the truth. Now, I can go on and on about the “tactics” or “technicalities” that he “teaches” but that would limit his greatness. As a working actor I continue to seek for his wisdom and collaboration- I am lucky to have him on my side. Work with him. You won’t regret it."

“Vulnerability is not easy, but it is necessary and part of the authentic portrayal of a character. Working with Ben fills my artistic soul and constant desire to be more truthful, more vulnerable, more adaptive to my growth—and to combine all of that into a character of any size, shape, or motive.”
— J.R. Bourne | Teen Wolf•The 100•Arrow•Suits•Stargate SG-1

“I love this class! In such a short time, Ben’s profoundly simple methodology and incredibly insightful perspectives have opened me into a truth and freedom in my work that I’ve never known before. I’m truly grateful to have found this gem of a teacher!”
— Brian Ibsen | Masters of Sex•Criminal Minds•Sequestered•The Rainmaker (Broadway)
