About Mike

I've worked extensively Off-Broadway and regionally both in straight plays and musicals. I'm a strong supporting role in the upcoming film "On the End" with Tim Blake Nelson (releasing 2025/2026). As a coach I've taught both in academic settings (University of North Carolina School of the Arts, American University) and with professional theater companies in NYC (Bedlam, Adult Film). I'm also honored to say that I've worked extensively teaching veterans of foreign wars in acting. When working a piece, my focus is on unlocking the actor's unique POV so that they are proud of their work and less focused on "getting it right." Here's a recent review from William Connell, who I coached for Broadway's Othello which he booked: "It’s impossible to act, let alone prepare to act, in a vacuum. Sometimes we just need a witness; someone you can trust to give you thoughts and ideas with no judgment. Someone who can challenge you to think a little deeper, maybe add a fun, new and weird little wrinkle into your choices; the kind of thing that gets you noticed, gets you back in the room, maybe gets you that job? Mike Labbadia is that guy. If you want simple, honest, direct, and maybe even a little raw, work with him.”

There is no "right" way to act, and especially as AI threatens to replace ALL working actors, it's essential that every performer focus less on "getting it right" and more so on using the opportunity of performance as a chance to express their most authentic selves. From a process standpoint I focus strongly on POV Acting as Reacting (a la "Actor and the Target") Understanding the stakes of a scene Discovering the "surprise" to be played in a scene Empathizing and seeing through your character's eyes. While I'm an actor with incredibly strong opinions on material, it's my goal for you to also have bold and unique choices that arise organically from you.
