HI – I’M JON. I TRAIN EMOTION ITSELF.
I’m an acting coach and the founder of Hunter Acting Studio, where I’ve spent years doing something most people assume is unteachable: training emotion itself.
My actors don’t just learn to cry on cue. That’s not even the point. They learn how emotion actually works in the body, how to summon it on demand, and how to stay in charge of it under pressure.
Actors train emotion on purpose. Everyone else gets theirs by accident. If you’re in the second group, you’re in the right place.
My approach is stubbornly practical. It draws on established frameworks for emotion, on models of my own, and on years of teaching at the highest levels of actor training – whole rooms of actors, and one actor at a time.
I treat emotion as a craft: something you can study, practise, and get better at – like a muscle, like a language, like anything else humans train.
Want to train this work one-to-one with me? The best first step is a simple email to jon@emotionsforhumans.com. A line about what you’re working on is plenty to start the conversation.
When I’m not in the studio, I can usually be found wandering with my dogs through the forest. Some walks are for thinking about how to teach what nobody teaches. The rest are just for being human.
