Anthony Meindl

Philosophy:Anthony's philosophy of training thousands of actors all over the world comes from the belief that each of us is interesting and has a unique story to tell. From that truth, he expands upon that which we all (at one point) believed acting should be: fun, easy, empowering. Ironically, acting training often does the opposite. Using science, the power of the moment, and deep insight into listening and being vs. doing - Mr. Meindl is helping shatter the long-held illusions that continue to keep actors in the dark about their creative process. And actually about what acting even is. As Einstein posited that everything is constantly evolving, expanding, and transforming, it seems incongruous with evolution that our understanding of acting hasn't changed with it. Mr. Meindl is leading the very forward-thinking charge doing just that.Anthony's BioIn addition to training some of the top talent in Hollywood and building seven international schools, Mr. Meindl is constantly adapting and evolving his insights about creativity into practical works for all artists. He has bridged the gap between artistry and consciousness and helped make the understanding of how to incorporate both in our work possible. With a revolutionary meditation and consciousness-based program, he is helping artists win back their power in their work. He has guest lectured at such high profile events as the GATE Story Conference with spiritual teachers Eckhart Tolle and actor Jim Carey, and at the Association of Transformational Leaders with Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul) and Neale Donald Walsch (Conversations with God). Anthony is the guest teacher at the David Lynch Masters in Filmmaking Program in Fairfield, Iowa, and also has satellite acting programs and lectures in such varied cities as Sofia, Bulgaria, Portland, Dallas, Tampa, Paris, Rome and Cape Town, South Africa.BooksHis first book, the Amazon best-selling, 'At Left Brain Turn Right' redefines creativity and how to access more of it in our lives and has sold more than 10,000 copies. It was honored by the San Francisco Festival of Books. His second book, 'Alphabet Soup for Grown-Ups' is a book that just might change the relationship with the most important person in your life: yourself. And his third book, 'Book the F#©king Job', was the #1 New Best-Seller in the acting and performing arts categories on Amazon.com for over 8 weeks in a row.AMAW Alum:Anthony is known worldwide for teaching the next generation of young Hollywood Stars. Mr. Meindl has innovated new approaches to the work that allows actors to move from the theoretical to the experiential. From their heads to the actual experience of being in the work, the way acting training intends. Show less «
