About Your Instructor:
Sean Fuerstenberg’s passion for acting began when he landed the lead role in his high school’s senior play, sparking his pursuit of the craft while at Kent State University. There, he majored in French Translation with a specialization in subtitling and dubbing, while also gaining on-set experience in multiple films, including an independent production distributed out of California.

After graduating, Sean honed his skills at the Houde School of Acting, training in Improv and the Meisner technique. His dedication and talent led him to become an Improv instructor and a member of the Houde Rats Improv Troupe.

Sean later returned to Houde as an instructor, where he now teaches On-Camera Audition Techniques, Improv, and Script Writing.

Beyond teaching, Sean continues to build his career as an actor, writer, and producer.

Houde School of Acting does not offer refunds if you drop/cancel a class or workshop. If you drop a class no later than a full week before the first day of class we will offer a full credit for the following month of class.

Due to the format of the classes, there are no make-up classes. We encourage you to attend as many classes as possible but don't worry if you miss a class. You can pick up your studies where you left off in your last class.

We are looking forward to working with you in class.
