Acting isn't simply reality, it's a heightened reality.
And specificity is what gets you there.
Guy Camilleri is a master acting teacher, private coach, and the founder of RAW Acting Studio in Los Angeles. For over two decades, he has guided actors, writers, directors — and anyone hungry for more — through a shift that changes everything.
FOUNDER
Guy Camilleri
As a working actor himself, Guy discovered early on that any moment on stage, film or television that is genuinely felt, is an authentic moment. This insight — earned in rehearsal rooms, on film sets, in the studio and in private coaching sessions where breakthroughs happen regularly — became the foundation of everything RAW stands for.
Specificity unlocks everything — sensation, emotion, feeling, imagination and a point of view. With it, you can learn to locate a sensation, name an emotion, a feeling or how to stand behind an interpretation truthfully in service of creating a fully realized character. This is where the real work lives and breathes.
His proprietary RAW Flow™ methodology draws from acting craft, psychology, and somatic awareness to do one thing: help you find the truth of the moment, experience it fully, and use it to fuel the next without any attachment to an end result. Acting now becomes experiential. Not a performance fantasy. The result isn't simply better acting. Acting becomes a way to live an authentic life and take your rightful place — literally on stage and day to day.
What students say
"Guy meets the moment. He invites us to peer underneath the layers of our human-ness, encouraging our intuition and impulses to create truthful characters and scenes. He brings out the enthusiasm in me to explore and play, expelling the artist's doubt — propelling one into creative, truthful expression."

RAW students have gone on to Emmy nominations, Academy Award campaigns, series regular roles, and — perhaps more importantly — a relationship to their craft and their lives that is unshakeable. They don’t just book more work. They show up differently everywhere.

That's why I built RAW."
GUY CAMILLERI
AS AN ACTOR
Guy has starred in the award-winning feature film Stockade, the indie favorite Electrick Children, and appeared in network television hits including Magnum P.I. and House. He also led the west coast premiere of Ira
Lewis' Chinese Coffee onstage in Los Angeles. Most recently he directed In Order To Be Here, which premiered twice at the LA Shorts International Film Festival after founder Robert Arentz invited an encore screening.
AS A STUDENT
Guy's foundation was forged during seven years of intensive training with Gene Frankel in New York City, absorbing Frankel's fearless approach to theatre and commitment to truth — a spirit that lives on in RAW Flow™ today. Walter Matthau, Anne Bancroft, and Raul Julia are a few of the many successes who have been taught or directed by Frankel.
