ABOUT
ABOUT ME...
Hi, I'm James Hallett... I am a stage and screen actor, a coach, and a professional Voice Over actor and audiobook narrator! Originally from Chicago, I'm a seasoned actor with a history of bringing both new texts and classical language to life with warmth and ease. With an MFA from the Yale School of Drama, I've been a working professional actor for over 30 years. As well as being a Voice Actor, I have acted on Broadway, Off-Broadway, in regional theaters, and in both films and television. I am also a professional podcaster and YouTuber with over 10 years of production experience.

COACHING
ARE YOU STUCK...
Are you stuck on “Co-Star” or even “Guest Star” land, but you’ve never made the jump to light speed and booked that recurring role or series regular gig? James Hallett has coached actors into recurring roles, series regular gigs, co-star, guest-star, plays, movies, Ted-talks, as well as voice over work.
A graduate of the renowned Yale School of Drama, James Hallett has been a working professional actor for over 30 years. James has acted on Broadway, Off-Broadway, in regional theater, and in both films and television. During his years of running a professional coaching studio, James has helped actors to break through stuck places in their careers and go on to book leading roles on-stage, on television and in films. James coaches professional actors in-person and on Zoom around the world. James also works with artists, poets, and other creative entrepreneurs to break through in their careers.
My path as an actor led me to study with Earle Gister, the Master Acting Teacher of the Yale School of Drama, where I received my MFA in Acting. My work as an actor, and my training under Earle Gister’s mentorship, prepared me for the study of the imagination and creativity. I then apprenticed with Dr. Catherine Shainberg, the founder of NYC’s School of Images, to become a master practitioner of dream-work and transformational imagery in the ancient tradition of Reversing. These two traditions, acting and imagery-work, blend powerfully toward an energized and focused path to manifesting, transforming, healing, and communicating.
