Film, Television and Theater Actor with 15 years of experience teaches Acting from home.

Of all the artists and guiding lights I know and trust, Mark is the cream of the crop. Not only was he born to be a serious actor, but I also believe that one of his greatest forms of purpose is to give people the tools to better understand themselves, especially how to deeply tap into their most resonant artistic expressions. Mark has translated his many years of training and performance experience into the teaching others with directness, tenacity, and a thirst to powerfully push people beyond their limits if open and willing to letting Mark in. His passion and willpower is nothing short of exciting, comforting, and wholly inspiring; he takes his time getting to know each of his clients on personal and professional levels; and he settles for nothing less than a standard of excellence in himself and those who come to learn from him. In Mark, you not only get a wise, talented, and compassionate instructor whose energies know no bounds, but you also get an individual who has learned amazing lessons in life that have only strengthened, elevated, and humbled his already amazing spirit with each new day. He shows up for himself and his loved ones, and he will show up for you. So, with my highest seal of recommendation, strongly consider Mark Haptonstall as your new acting instructor, because I can guarantee you, you will only become more amazing each and every session and day. :)

I have a 12 year-old daughter and 15 year-old son who have both taken acting lessons from Mark for over a year. My daughter is shy and struggles with confidence when it comes to performing. Mark has such a kind way of interacting with her that she opened up to him immediately. The very first lesson she came out smiling and couldn’t stop talking about how much fun she had. After each lesson now, she comes out twirling and happy and so excited about class. My older son loved his time with Mark as well and raved about how fun he is and how he looked forward to each week to do another class. Mark puts so much thought into the material and what they will be learning each week. He is invested in my children beyond just the acting classes and is one of the most thoughtful, creative, engaging and overall wonderful humans in our lives. I have never been able to more enthusiastically recommended anyone more than I could recommend Mark Haptonstall.
