Years Acting Career
I know what it's like to struggle and question if this dream is even possible. But with the right tools, mindset, and guidance, you can thrive - not just as an actor, but as an artist and a person. That's why I built PATH™ and PGST™, and that's why I'm here - to help you step into your power.
Through my own challenges as a young actor - navigating self-doubt, the relentless pressures of the industry, and my battle with addiction - I discovered firsthand how difficult it is to stay true to yourself while chasing a career in this business. But through recovery, transformation, and a relentless pursuit of truth in my craft, I built something different.
As a working actor for over 30 years, I've faced the same challenges every actor does. I've been in the audition rooms, on set, and on stage - navigating rejection, perfectionism, and pressure — all while learning how to stay authentic and powerful.
That's why I created PATH™ (Power Audition Technique Honing™) - a no-BS approach that helps actors break free from perfectionism, unlock their true presence, and actually enjoy the process. And because talent isn't enough, I developed the Practical Goal Setting Technique™ (PGST*™), giving actors a system that supports their artistry and career for the long haul. I've had the privilege of coaching everyone from first-time actors to Emmy winners - helping them stop 'trying to get it right' and start booking work by bringing their undeniable authenticity into every role.
I know the struggles of this industry firsthand - rejection, imposter syndrome, and the pressure to be 'perfect.' I also know how to move through them and come out stronger. I've done it, and I help actors do the same every day.
I'm not just a coach - I'm an actively working actor with over 30 years in TV, film, voiceover, and stage. I'm in the audition rooms, on set, navigating the same challenges you are. My approach isn't academic — it's built from actual industry experience.
The Power Audition Technique Honing™ (PATH™) and Practical Goal Setting Technique™ (PGST™) aren't just theories - they were designed out of necessity. I developed them to solve real problems ! faced as an actor, and now, they're helping actors at every level book more work and build lasting careers.
I've helped actors go from just starting out to landing their first bookings, from working professionals to series regulars and Emmy winners. No matter where you are in your journey, I know how to meet you there and guide you forward.
Success in acting isn't just about the craft - it's about resilience, goal setting, and long-term career strategy. At PATH™ Actor Studio, we don't just work on scenes; we build actors who thrive in the industry for the long haul.
Acting isn't about 'getting it right.' It's about telling the truth. I help actors let go of fear, strip away the pressure, and create performances that feel raw, real, and magnetic.
If you’re tired of the same old acting advice and want a practical, powerful system that actually works, I’m here to help. Let’s get to work.
EXCELLENT Based on 61 reviews Selene BenjaminTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've taken a lot of acting classes and tried many different techniques. And Greg and PATH are hands down, the best. I feel like I've found my acting home and tribe. The genuine care and support from Greg and every PATH student, it's something I've never experienced in an acting class. And it's not just my own experience and growth that keeps me coming back. Greg is able to coach people from day 1 to give compelling performances. It's honestly quite amazing to watch. And then we watch each other somehow get even better every week! I can't recommend PATH enough for anyone even remotely interested in trying it out. Debi CoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greg Sims is an inspired acting coach and teacher!!! I wish I could give 100 stars. Greg has devised a genius way of working called PATH. Actors learn a simpler, more effective and more enjoyable way to audition and do scene work. Greg is a hands down one of the very best acting teacher and coach I have ever worked with. Carla STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. PATH is the single best acting class I’ve ever taken. That might sound like hyperbole, but Greg has created a supportive environment for his students to play with unique scripts, experiment with the PATH technique, and demystify some of the most anxiety-inducing types of auditions (commercial auditions with no dialogue, I’m looking at you 👀). I came in to Greg’s class four years ago with all kinds of “actor rules” that I’d made for myself or picked up from others. The approach you’ll learn from Greg is so simple that you’ll quickly see how superfluous those rules are and how much joy they suck out of the process. If you’re sick of actor busy work, want to calm your anxiety about auditioning, and/or want to find your acting people, I can’t recommend PATH with Greg Sims highly enough. Chelsea SpackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greg’s classes and coaching are absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!!! For anyone wanting to deepen their craft as an actor and book more acting jobs, TAKE THIS CLASS! Laura HaroldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greg is an amazing coach. With PATH, he’s created one of the most supportive, creatively stimulating, and nourishing spaces I’ve ever experienced as an actor. Greg has a very realistic, non-intimidating approach to get the best out of everyone. He also addresses so much of the mental BS we all deal with as creatives — and has helped me restore faith in myself and my own process, not just in acting but in life. PATH is a beautiful space to be part of and I have literally seen some of the best performances in my life in these classes. More than that, there is space for everyone to share and be themselves. I always leave inspired. The team is awesome, too - shout out to Kimberly, who has always been so helpful and supportive whenever I had questions. Thanks PATH team! Andrea ModicaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greg’s has a massive presence and is a power house of an acting teacher and coach. That coupled with his nurturing and caring disposition makes Greg such a valuable and inspirational person for an actor to have in their life. Gregs system is such a different approach to acting that can be used not only in the auditioning process but on set as well. Not too long ago I was on set and was coming up short to what the director was asking of me. I took a minute went into my tool box, pulled out Greg’s system “became my own Greg” and nailed it! Thank you Greg for putting wind in my acting sails and giving me a whole new set of tools to work with that make me a much better actor. Lorraine KnoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greg's PATH class did more to empower my acting than the years of acting classes that came before. I started believing that I was enough. My auditions are more free, and a whole lot more fun. If your auditions aren't leading to callbacks and bookings, you need Greg. The way he teaches how to "let it rip", and his wealth of industry info is priceless. Tiffany KieuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greg is top-notch! He creates such a warm, inviting, nonjudgmental environment to learn and grow as an artist amongst supportive peers. PATH is an unconventional, yet effective, fun, and magical way of working in less time, but no less moving and impactful. I can confidently say that Greg and PATH have helped me leaps and bounds with embracing auditions confidently and with joy; daring to take risks in my craft; and letting go of the emotional end result in any given material. All of which have contributed to booking national commercials, procedurals, and indie films in my 1st year <3 You have to experience PATH for yourself to really know the depths to which my words resonate. A must-try :) You will be doing yourself a favor!! Gina TaliaferroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been working with Greg Sims since he took his PATH classes online during the pandemic shutdown, and it's not an overstatement to say the Greg's classes have transformed my entire approach to acting. I can divide my entire career into before and after PATH. Although I have a Bachelor's Degree in Theater from a school with great reputation, before PATH, I had no real technique. Every audition brought up major anxiety and self-recrimination. Over the years I've paid for scores of classes that, even while providing some valuable strategies, only reinforced the competitiveness, shaming, and fear-based nature of "the business." PATH, from the very first class, was different. The technique is practical and workable and can be effectively applied to any material. Just as important, the in-class atmosphere is completely supportive. That allows me to confidently take risks and work on expanding my creativity - opening up to truthfulness instead of constructing artificial performative practices to protect myself from it. I keep coming back to class because, through Greg's coaching, I've been reaching newer and deeper levels of honesty in my work. Actor Imposter Syndrome - gone! I never thought an acting class could be my happy place - the thing I look forward to every week. For me, Greg Sims and PATH has brought the joy back to acting. Peyton NewsomeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I joined PATH because I was tearing myself to pieces in a world that was telling me I was always, "almost there." Greg has a transformative way of replacing neurotic overthinking with habits that make acting fun again while growing strong instinctive muscles. Greg and the other actors in class are like family, and the environment is like home. I leave every week ready to take my career by the horns.
