Directing, coaching, and writing since I moved away from my starving artist phase. In the last two years I have produced original musicals with my senior students. My signature assignment is the Vocal Masque. A defined time frame where a minimum of 10 vocal explorations must be shared. Solo performance and all characters must support a central theme. I may produce an actual résumé again, but please, hear the demo. If you don't hear what you want, shoot me a mail and I'll throw you a file for your consideration. I am fun, I know how to take direction and I have range, so lets play. Warm Regards, Rob Walker I am currently a Drama, Film&TV teacher at the secondary level in the public school system. The focus of my work is understanding your voice-body connection and how to 'stand and deliver'. As my students gain experience I lead them to the understanding that any character is created by the choices you make in performance. My secondary school competes in the Canadian Improv Games and has consistently, for the last 8 seasons finished the Regional Tournament in the top 5 of 30+ teams. In 2013, these students earned the right to represent BC-Lower Mainland in Ottawa for the National Tournament. I have experienced a variety of workshops focusing on character's objective, storytelling and performance for both stage and screen. Selected sessions include: Trevor Duvall, Andrew McIlroy, Simon Longmore of VADA, Warren Robertson, Marco Soriano I have a B. Fine Arts Theatre with an acting major from University of Victoria (1998) and a B. Education - intermediate grade focus from University of British Columbia. H4N Zoom recording machine. Apple suite. I am now a teacher and father of 3. I grew up in the back halls of a hotel (Dad was owner and single father). Survival jobs to support my acting career and supplement my teacher salary include: construction labour/ carpentry; hotel desk, catering and kitchen; Audio Visual freelance technician; programme & workshop coordinator (acting and English as Second Language camps)
