In this special presentation Ardavany facilitated a discussion with Holloway who shared his experience preparing to work as “Sawyer” on ABC’s Emmy Award winning best drama series “Lost”. The evening was a unique opportunity to hear first-hand what its like behind-the scenes and learn techniques for on-camera action. The lively discussion provided actors, directors, agents, managers and artists alike with insight into the Ardavany Approach’s innovative method to enhance perception and creative expression.

TESTIMONIALS

“Thank you so much for the evening. It was so awesome. Honestly, I got more

out of it than all of the events/workshops/classes I’ve taken so far out here put together. I’ve been out here two months, and honestly it was my highlight so far. Thanks again, I loved it!” - R.L.

“It was a really well-run and informative event.  Josh was great — candid, honest, and truly offered many great insights.  I can’t wait to hear of future events and will certainly check out Tom’s classes.”  - N.A.

“Thank You for all the effort that went into last night’s event. It was a great experience.  It was so valuable to hear and see the journey that an actor experiences from script to reality. The way you set everything up, the questions, the ride that you took us on was priceless, inspiring and SO DAMN MOTIVATING! It was like ‘inside the Actors Studio’ but so much better! You could give MR. Lipton a run for his money!”  - D.B.

“I just wanted to thank you for myself and my friend who attended the event last evening.  Being an intense fan of Lost and an even bigger fan of Josh Holloway’s, it really was a dream come true.  It was so interesting to learn about the Approach and how Josh applies it to working on such a critically acclaimed television show.”- J.

“Holloway-Ardavany: A Week later”

It’s been a week since I went to Tom Ardavany’s “Actors on Acting Series” with Josh Holloway. Yes, I’m still buzzing about it. The experience was top notch and will forever stay with me. I’ve met many celebrities in my day. I have close friends who are known for what they do. But I think I’m still thinking about that night because of a few things: 1. my major passion for Lost 2. To validate that Josh Holloway is so great 3. I learned so much from Tom Ardavany.

I podcasted about this particular night but i kept it very Josh Holloway related because it was posted on my Lost Revisited Now feed. I edited the podcast down from an hour to 35 minutes to keep it Lost related. But in doing so, I left out a lot of information I got from

Tom. Thus some of my comments were a bit out of context. I definitely need to learn to edit audio better, lol.

Tom Ardavany is a well respected acting teacher/coach that has worked with Josh Holloway at mastering his craft. The Ardavany Approach is an amazing to master the art of acting. Some of Tom’s students are Rudy Reyes and Salvador Torres in HBO’s Generation Kill, and Matt Gerald in James Cameron’s upcoming epic Avatar.

If you are searching for a new acting approach, I suggest you check out Tom’s class and sign up for the free orientation. He takes the art of acting to a new level. He allows you to open that door so you can extend your creativity to a higher place. The Ardavany approach allows you to use what is already in you to capture the essence of the character. As Josh talked about, being specific in your approach allows you to use what’s inside you to become the character. It is such a useful approach that has been proven effective.

I didn’t have a chance to ask Josh a question but Tom contacted me the other day. He was so kind to let me know he would pass on my question to Josh. Tom didn’t have to do that. He took time out of his day to do this for me. Tom, thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
