Taking a role with nudity, simulated sex, or other intense intimacy is some of the most palms sweating, heart crashing against your rib cage work you can do.

It's incredibly vulnerable.

Actors who've never done an intimate scene have a million questions rushing through their mind at a mile a minute:

  • What can I expect?
  • What can I actually ask for without ruining the chances of getting hired again?
  • What will I have to wear?
  • How do I be "sexy"?
  • What about my personal grooming?
  • Will I be able to create real chemistry with my scene partner?
  • If I do, will it lead to a showmance and ruin my personal life?

Many actors turn down these roles entirely because they're afraid.

If you're a seasoned actor, you may have experienced your share of intimate scenes that felt awkward or even downright uncomfortable.

For others, the experience has been far worse. Sadly boundary crosses and harassment still happen, and many actors are left wondering:

  • "Did I do something wrong?"
  • "Should I just grin and bear it?"
  • "If I speak up will anyone listen or care?"

Some talented actors have even left the industry because they've had bad experiences that left them disillusioned and disgusted with the whole industry.

If you've experienced any of this, know this: It's NOT your fault. For decades, the toxic, unspoken norms in the entertainment industry have forced actors to suffer in silence. These damaging beliefs have quietly taken root in your subconscious, shaping how you work and what you tolerate. Norms like:

  • "Good actors say 'Yes, and…'"
  • "If you won't do it, there are a hundred other actors who will."
  • "The show must go on, no matter the cost to you."

These norms have kept actors over-exposed and under-appreciated on a sure fire path to get chewed up and spit out by the entertainment industry for far too long.

Up until now the only option for most actors has been to toughen up to try to make it in a competitive industry, but with the rise of Intimacy Direction and Intimacy Coordination everything has changed.

The rules of how we handle intimacy have changed, and most actors are still in the dark and missing this important knowledge.

Actors everywhere deserve to experience creative freedom and unshakeable confidence stepping into roles with intimacy.

The empowered actor rejects those toxic industry norms.

They know that setting a healthy boundary is the best way to build professional trust. They understand that they can't give sizzling performances while enduring harassment. They boldly pursue more intimate and intense roles because they understand how to protect themselves.

Empowered actors are the ones getting the jobs.

They claim their voice, own their worth, and refuse to let outdated industry pressure limit their potential.

And as a result, they deliver gut-wrenching, authentic, and beautiful intimate performances that move audiences and ignite hope for a more compassionate future.

Imagine this:

You're fully focused on delivering an unforgettable performance, and not distracted by worrying whether your scene partner will cross a boundary or not.

You confidently advocate for yourself the moment something feels off, knowing exactly how to handle it.

You maximize the support of an Intimacy Professional, using their guidance to elevate your work instead of feeling lost or uncertain.

You possess acting and movement tools that instantly create believable chemistry with any scene partner, making intimate scenes feel natural and effortless.

You've mastered how to keep your on-stage romantic life separate from your real-life relationships, protecting what matters most outside the spotlight.

This is the magic of becoming an empowered actor who truly knows how to act intimacy.

It's the key to expanding your career with confidence.

Acting Intimacy

Your ultimate guide to performing intimate scenes with absolute confidence.

It's time to reclaim your confidence and freedom as an actor.

Acting Intimacy is a fully online, self-paced program that allows you to learn directly from Intimacy Professionals working on shows for HBO, Netflix, and on Broadway.

It's designed to give you the most up to date intimacy protocols and creative tools so you know exactly what to expect and how to rock your performance all while keeping yourself safe. Divided into four modules, this program takes you step-by-step through the skills you need to feel confident accepting roles with intimacy and delivering a stellar performance on stage and on screen.

See What's Waiting for You Inside….

Module 1: Foundations of Acting Intimacy

Module 1: Foundations of Acting Intimacy

Before you can feel confident in an intimate scene, you need something most actors were never given… a real foundation.

In this first module, we're pulling back the curtain on how intimacy in the industry actually works now, and why everything has changed.

You'll learn what's been happening behind the scenes for decades (and why so many actors were left unsupported), what your rights are when you walk into a room, and how Intimacy Professionals are there to protect and elevate your work.

By the end of this module:

  • You'll learn why consent has been so challenging in our industry for so long, and what you can do about it.
  • You'll stop feeling like you're at the mercy of the room and start realizing you have more agency, more support, and more power than you've ever thought possible.
  • You'll learn the core tools and frameworks that will support you on every set, stage, and rehearsal room you step into moving forward.

Module 2: Don't Just Say Yes

Module 2: Don't Just Say Yes

In order to safely work on an intimate scene you need to know what's expected of you, what you're willing to do, and most importantly how to communicate about all of it without worrying about losing the gig. We'll dig deep into the realities of the fear of being labeled "difficult", the pressure to stay quiet, and the very real risk actors weigh every time they speak up. We don't pretend none of that exists. We help you tackle it head on.

By the end of this module:

  • You will clearly define your boundaries before you're in a high-pressure situation, and learn how to communicate them in a way that builds trust instead of burning bridges.
  • You'll know your rights across union and non-union work for TV, Film, and Theater
  • You'll be able to use real-world language for saying "yes" and "no" while keeping the creative energy flowing
  • You'll be able to advocate for yourself even when the stakes feel high

Module 3: Your Intimacy Professional Is Your Ally

Module 3: Your Intimacy Professional Is Your Ally

For so long, actors have been expected to figure intimacy out on their own without a clear process or real support, but not anymore. In this module, you'll finally understand what an Intimacy Professional actually does, and how they can support you. When you know how to work with an Intimacy Professional, you stop bracing yourself for what might go wrong, and start focusing on what's possible in your performance.

By the end of this module:

  • You'll be able to build a working relationship with your Intimacy Director or Coordinator that feels grounded, respectful, and creatively energizing.
  • You'll know how to communicate your needs and effectively collaborate to get them met
  • You'll understand how they can magnify your voice and advocate for you behind the scenes so you can do your best work without second-guessing your safety or your boundaries.

Module 4: The Art of Sizzlin' Intimacy Performance

Module 4: The Art of Sizzlin' Intimacy Performance

Once safety, boundaries, and communication are taken care of, we can focus on the real goal: amazing authentic performances. Empowered actors don't hold back. They don't second guess themselves, and they don't just survive intimate scenes. They're fully committed and present in every moment.

In this final module, you'll learn how to take everything you've built and turn it into intimate moments that feel natural, grounded, and undeniable on stage and screen.

By the end of this module:

  • You'll be able to break down intimacy in a script so you're not left staring at "they kiss" wondering how to make it work.
  • You'll be able to build chemistry with any scene partner using subtle physical and energetic shifts so you can build tension, control pacing, and make every moment feel specific, intentional, and alive.
  • You'll have basic choreographic tools Intimacy Professionals use so you can start thinking like a collaborator, not just a participant.
  • You'll have practical tools for coming down after the scene so you can fully show up in emotionally demanding scenes without carrying them home with you.

Acting Intimacy FAQs

Is this course only for actors who already do nudity or simulated sex scenes?
Not at all. This program is for any actor who wants to feel confident, prepared, and empowered when working with intimacy of any kind: kissing, romantic scenes, physical closeness, or emotionally vulnerable material.
What if there isn't an Intimacy Coordinator or Director on set?
Then you'll need the skills we teach in this program even more. You'll walk in with the knowledge, language, and tools to advocate for yourself and navigate those situations with far more confidence and clarity.
What if I've never done an intimate scene before?
You're exactly who this is for. We start with the foundations most actors were never taught, so you'll know what to expect before you ever step into a rehearsal room or set.
How long do I have access to the course?
You get lifetime access. Revisit the material any time: before auditions, rehearsals, or jobs.
I've had bad experiences in the past… will this help with that?
Yes. This program is designed to help you rebuild trust in the process, understand your rights, and give you tools to advocate for yourself safely and professionally moving forward.
Will this help me actually become a better actor?
Yes. When you're not distracted by fear, uncertainty, or crossed boundaries, your performance deepens. This program gives you the tools to be fully present, connected, and compelling in intimate scenes.
Is this worth it if I'm already experienced?
If you've ever felt awkward, unsupported, or unsure in intimate scenes, then yes. This gives you a modern, professional framework that most experienced actors were never formally taught.
