Unlock Your Acting Potential with FX's 'Snowfall' Actor: 19 Years of Professional Experience in Acting, Teaching, Coaching, Writing, Directing, and Producing in 3 Different Languages

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Felipe as an exceptional acting coach. Having worked with him for several months, I have been continually impressed by his profound understanding of the craft and his ability to connect on a personal level with me.

Felipe’s teaching style is both encouraging and challenging, pushing me to explore my full potential while creating a supportive environment. His expertise in various acting techniques, coupled with his passion for the performing arts, makes his coaching both informative and inspiring. He isn’t just my coach anymore but consider him a good friend. I highly recommend him if you’re looking to become the best actor you can become.

I’ve always dreamed of acting, but stepping into that world felt overwhelming until I started working with Filipe. From our very first in-person session, I knew I had found the right coach. He wasn’t just knowledgeable and passionate, he was present. Every moment of every class is filled with purpose, insight, and so much encouragement. There even was laughter!
When we had to switch from in-person to online classes, I’ll admit I was nervous. Acting over a screen felt unnatural at first, but he turned it into an unexpected gift. The transition not only felt seamless, it actually helped prepare me for the real-world audition process since so much of the industry now operates through self-tapes and Zoom. I’m grateful every week that I didn’t give up on the shift because our virtual sessions have been just as powerful, if not more so.
What sets him apart isn’t just his skill or experience, it’s his heart. He doesn’t just teach the craft; he lives it, and he weaves life, literature, and personal stories into our sessions in a way that makes each lesson feel grounded, alive, and transformative. He pushes me lovingly, firmly, and with purpose, and knows exactly when to nudge me further and when to let me sit in a moment. He never lets me stay small, even on the hard days. He works with me at my pace, but he never lets me forget what I’m capable of.
And he checks in, not just about scenes or technique, but about me. My mental and physical wellbeing, how I’m feeling, what’s going on in my life. That kind of care is rare in any field, let alone one as competitive as acting. He genuinely wants to see me succeed, both as an artist and as a person.
If you’re looking for a coach who will challenge you, believe in you, walk beside you, and make you laugh while you grow, you’ve found the one. I truly couldn’t have chosen a better coach to guide me through this journey. Thank you for all that you do for me Filipe! I know anyone would be lucky to have the gift of you as their coach!

Mr. Filipe, is a driven teacher who shows his students that determination and discipline will take you places. Mr. Filipe has taught me how to immerse myself in a scene without allowing the character’s feelings to consume me but learning how to tap in to the characters and be that person. If you want to learn how trust yourself as an actor then Mr. Filipe is the perfect teacher for you!!!

Filipe directed me in a production of I Am The Dead Man and I can say without a doubt, I became a better actor after being directed by him. He helps actors to bring their fullest selves to roles and guides them on their acting journey. If you are looking to become a better actor, I recommend Filipe a million times over. He is not only a wonderful teacher but he is an amazing mentor, friend, and all around amazing human being. I still think of the time we worked together fondly and am counting down the days I get to work with him again. You won’t regret working with Filipe because you’ll see yourself become a better actor and human from just being around him!

Filipe's experience as a seasoned on camera actor garnered from years on set (most notably as Pedro Nava in FX's "Snowfall"), coupled with his generous and compassionate approach to teaching make him the ideal coach for any serious performer willing to up their game. I have worked on countless auditions with him and have to him thank for many of the roles I've booked. I highly recommend his services!
