TESTIMONIALS

“Ivana Chubbuck is the premiere acting coach of the twenty-first century.”

Halle Berry - Academy Award Winner

“Ivana taught me how to take my emotions and take everything that has happened in my life, and use it to make me an effective actor.” -quote from Charlize Theron on “The Actor’s Studio”

Charlize Theron - Academy Award Winner

“She just began to break me down, and I went, “Wow.” Because it’s almost as if certain acting habits become calcified and, before you know it, you’re like a piano player with one finger. You keep hitting that same note over and over again. She right away got into really subliminal, exploratory personal chambers that I wanted to keep closed. Like my son’s death. I said, ‘I really don’t want to go there, I really don’t want to talk about that. She said, ‘Well, that’s what nee…

SYLVESTER STALLONE, NPR Interview

“Ivana has taken my work up to another level. The clarity and depth from which she guides me to creating a character.”

JUDITH LIGHT - 2 Time Tony Award Winner

“Her technique could be boiled down to, ‘take the pain in your life and find the most effective way to accomplish a goal with it.”

EVA MENDES

“The guesswork is gone (Ivana) provides the nuts and bolts … how to always be present, how to always have something going on behind my eyes.”

Jessica Biel

“I always say, ‘We’re back!’ before I begin every session with Ivana. ‘We’re back’ doesn’t mean we ever left, it means that even after so many years of working with Ivana, there’s so much more to explore, examine, and grow from the point of view of the science of being a human being. As my characters change and evolve, so do I. I can play the same character for years, and still I am excited by the notion that there’s a wealth of discoveries to come regarding our script analysis. So …

David Boreanaz

“We always try to find the strength and heroism of a character, no matter how much a victim that character seems to be on the page.”

Beyonce Knowles

“She is a brilliant, insightful teacher whose work has transformed my understanding of the art of acting.”

Elisabeth Shue - Academy Award Nominee

“Judd Apatow introduced me to Ivana [for the movie Funny People] and I’ve worked with her on every role since. She has always encouraged me to take risks and push boundaries with my work. She has taught me that my fears, insecurities, neurosis and generally all those things that make me one screwed up human being — are actually the elements that make the substance and journey of the characters we create together — unique and special.”

AUBREY PLAZA

“Ivana is a master who empowers through her teachings.”

KATE BOSWORTH

“Ivana Chubbuck… can’t live with her, can’t act without her!”

GARRY SHANDLING – Emmy Award winner

Ivana taught me “the physics of vulnerability. She taught me to fly, to turn my messy life into interesting work — it is my heartfelt blessing to have studied and worked diligently with her. Ivana’s technique is my miracle.”

Pamela Anderson - Golden Globe Nominee

“Since day ONE, Ivana has showed me the magical world of actually making bold, unique choices, and to explore the FUN one can have in making those choices. The Chubbuck technique is such a gift to the world. Making bold choices aren’t for the weak of heart, but like extreme sports — it’s scary at first but the end result is ultimately more satisfying.”

Chloe Fineman

“Ivana and The Chubbuck Technique have significantly raised the level of my performances. I’ve suddenly gotten attention and praise from industry professionals and friends I’ve known for decades.”

Morris Chestnut
