“Isaac Byrne enters the fire with his students and fights for them. He knows how to push you to be better than you imagined you could be, to perform in a way that opens your soul. He has the kind of insight that comes from a perfect combination of life experience and excellent training that sometimes feels like witchcraft when your heart opens up despite your petty insecurities and daily nonsense. Isaac was the first person to ever tell me I wouldn’t break if I pushed myself, and for the first time I believe it.”
“In Isaac’s class at MCS, we get to forget about being good, so we can push ourselves beyond our boundaries, knowing that we have the the class, and Isaac, to guide and support us on the way. I learned to dare to go deep into my emotional prep, and to trust my imagination. This has made me very comfortable on set when I have to perform on my highest level, take after take.”
“I love working with Isaac. I always feel confident going to Isaac with my materials knowing that my work will be better after our sessions. He is a passionate and gifted director and teacher. I absolutely recommend him to anyone who is looking to further their craft as an actor.”
“Isaac cast and directed me in “FRESH KILLS” a new play at 59East 59. Isaac understands the process an actor goes through to plumb a role. He got me there and for his belief in me I am forever grateful.”
“Isaac has the unique quality of being able to guide you to your best performance. I never felt like I had to justify a choice I didn’t understand with Isaac-instead, he helped me understand the characters to the fullest and understood the importance of a journey from beginning to end.”
