WHAT IT MEANS TO MAKE THE MOMENT YOURS
It's not about taking over the moment, it's about giving yourself to it completely. The more present, truthful, and invested you are, the more you give to the story, your scene partner, and the audience. When you stop waiting for the right moment and start living in this one, real acting begins.
PRESENCE:
Be here. Not tomorrow. Not the next take. Here. Right now.
AUTHENTICITY:
Bring your truth. Your instincts. Your unique point of view.
COURAGE:
Take risks. Be vulnerable. Stay open. That's where the good stuff lives.
ACTION:
Respond. Commit. Follow through. Let the moment move you.
To accomplish this, Guy believes the work must be rooted in authenticity. The experience of experiencing an authentic moment is profound and is comprised of balancing being true to yourself, while simultaneously honoring the story you are exploring.

Actor · Michael (2026)
"Being part of RAW not only taught me so much about acting through observing other actors, but it also helped me discover more about myself in the process. Guy really helped deepen my understanding of script analysis and showed me how fully immersing yourself in the world of a script can reveal endless layers of truth and character. We did incredible work and exercises both in class and during my training at Hayvenhurst which was fundamental throughout the process."
Actor · Michael (2026)
Academy Award / Golden Globe Nominee:
"I was working on a film and used his class at RAW acting studio to deepen my understanding of the character I was playing. The information I got under his guidance was invaluable and changed the course of the shoot for me. On top of that, I left every class exhilarated and in love with this art form. Guy has my highest endorsement as a coach and as a person."

"Guy Camilleri is a master in the craft of acting and has an intuition that guides us through the work.. In 2023, he coached me on an audition, (and a producers’ session) for the ABC series NOT DEAD YET. As a direct result of his coaching, (literally an hour prior to the audition and the callback), I booked the role of ‘Cricket’, a SERIES REGULAR! Guy coached me on seasons one and two of the series."
