Melbourne based acting teacher, specialising in screen acting (film and tv). Helping actors achieve their goals at various stages of their career.

Ben Portelli, brother of Adrian (some quick incentive if you wanna find out how to get rich quick). An actor and a bloke who knows this industry inside out. I call him Deadline, because he has the intel quicker than that website itself.

A great man, whose love and dedication to this craft continues to astound me. He will give you in depth feedback about what worked, what didn’t and what you could try next time. He loves this industry more than anyone I know and he is keen to not only make himself a better actor but also you - You don’t find that often.

Has a deep film knowledge and knows how to convert your performance to the performance casting is after. Get a lesson with him and see exactly what I’m talking about. Good man Benny boy.

I was introduced to Ben through mutual industry connections, and he has been an incredible help for my acting career. His coaching, industry knowledge, and guidance have been invaluable in helping me develop my craft and approach auditions with greater confidence.

Ben has helped me prepare and film self-tapes for three feature films, two of which resulted in callbacks. His attention to detail, understanding of performance, and ability to bring out the best in me have made a real difference in my work. I would highly recommend him to any actor looking to develop their skills and take their work to the next level.

Ben is an amazing teacher with a wealth of knowledge, he not ownly understands the craft but how to meet you at your level so you can actually understand the feedback

I met Ben through the industry and he immediately took me under his wing and has guided me through everything. He truly is a great mentor and coach as he is so knowledgeable about no only the craft, and his constant and continuous training in it but also everything else it takes to book jobs. He is one of the most industry knowledgeable people I know and anyone would be honoured to work under him.
