"I am privileged to have studied under such a dynamic and influential acting coach. Not only has Frank Rossi taught me how to win as a passionate character on camera and on stage, he has shown me how to strive for the best in every aspect of my life. Frank's DVD series highlighted the most important tools of acting and it is my guide to completely understanding the scene, the character, and how to connect my own emotional life to the character in the scene. Thanks to his DVD and workbook, I know exactly what to do as an actor and I have an unwavering confidence that I can bring to my auditions and my work."

"I feel very privileged to study with Frank Rossi both in his advanced scene study class and privately. Frank has taught me a great deal about acting - most importantly that 'there is no acting in acting.' Because of Frank's classes, I feel very comfortable reading for any projects both in NYC and LA. As a Manger, Mr. Rossi set up the meeting that let me sign with current agent, Abrams Artists. If you are serious about learning your craft, then Frank Rossi is for you."
Kelsey Ford
Recently co-starred in the 20th Century Fox feature film, Vampires Suck and is currently a series regular in Alan Ball's (American Beauty) new HBO series All Signs Of Death: Congratulations to Kelsey. Ms. Ford offers the following regarding, Mr. Rossi and his studio.
"Frank is beyond a passionate person, and his intensity for acting is contagious. I leave each class feeling inspired to work even harder on my own. He forces event the best actors to face their weaknesses head on - giving them the tools to deliver their strongest performance possible. Taking Frank's class and studying with him privately has given me a great deal of confidence, especially on auditions, and when working on a film set.
Frank is always on top of his game. He knows the ins and outs of Hollywood, can negotiate with the best of them, and in less than six months has helped me secure my first role in the studio film, Adventureland and a co-starring role in an independent feature, while simultaneously making sure I read for everything I'm right for. His DVD series is also a wonderful tool that helps me in my process.
My parents have both been to Frank's class and consider him a wonderful role model for young people. I consider him even more than that. To me, he is a great acting coach, friend and mentor."

Doug is now the exclusive HOST for Kmart Live events around the country. A veteran of over 50 commercials and industrials, Doug says this of Mr. Rossi:
"I have taught grades 7-12 and coached sports for ten years. And I believe that, 'people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.' Frank Rossi is the epitome of this statement. I recently booked a recurring national hosting job with Kmart, dozens of commercials and industrials, along with three feature films over the past five years while working with Frank. The man knows what to teach and how to teach it. His DVD series is a very god indicator of that. I regularly refer to it before a big audition, whether it be; stage, film or television."

My daughter, Chloe (10) is the youngest student of Frank's. Frank is great with her. He is extremely patient, and he communicates with her, almost treating her as a young adult. Frank's classes and private coaching skills have taught my daughter a great deal about herself. Her communication and listening skills have been heightened - her grades are at the top of her class. And most importantly, her confidence - real confidence in herself is beginning to blossom. I would highly recommend Frank Rossi as an acting coach."
