What People Are Saying

Working with Budi is a truly remarkable experience. It’s hard to put into words the depth of discovery that emerges through his mask work. I feel myself dropping beneath the surface and into something fuller, clearer, more alive. Language has never felt more potent than it does after a session with him. I genuinely believe I am a better actor because of the love, care, and commitment Budi pours into each and every one of us.

“It’s vigorous, yet soft, exciting and deep. It feels communal and yet I feel like I
can be myself and be apart with others. After years of world class actor training
BMTT is my favorite to return to, explore in, and grow from ”

“A work out and reset for the entire instrument and a closer relationship
between life and art..”

Reviews

“This training is unlike anything I’ve ever done. Any actor of any level from beginner to professional will gain insight to themselves and their craft in this exploration. It is physical movement, mask, clown, text, and voice work in one. I stretched myself further into the corners and depths of the characters that I worked on than I knew possible.”

“Budi Miller Taksu Training has changed my life! It has helped me strip away the blocks that were holding me back as an actor. It helped me find more playfulness and freedom in my work. Besides offering a wealth of knowledge around varying techniques, Budi Miller Taksu Training builds and supports the mental and spiritual state underneath it all for any good performance. I look forward to my sessions every time. Budi’s warmth and joy are infectious and I’m so grateful I decided to train with him. 10/10 .”

Life-changing. Consciousness-expanding. Awakening and Enlightening. Budi’s training, with its holistic approach to acting, movement, and voice, goes beyond just performance—it’s a powerful tool for anyone, not just those pursuing careers on stage or screen. Budi creates a space for deep self-discovery, impacting not just performers but anyone exploring their humanity as a social and spiritual being.

Testimonials

  • "Budi has revolutionised the way I approach performing (and myself in general). Being in his classes feels like coming home. He teaches a unique approach to performance, mixing Fitzmaurice Voicework, Michael Chekhov, and Balinese mask, expanded into something entirely his own- unlike anything I (or anyone who has the pleasure of training with him) has encountered. The approach is spiritual, liberating, and a fuckton of fun. He is a master in his field. No one teaches what he does. Train with him!"

  • "Dr Budi Miller is one of those rare practitioners who opens your heart and imagination to the potential of your self expression and the reverence of the art form. Inspiring, human, humorous- I’ve learnt and opened up more in the two workshops I did with him than in traditional training. He has helped me trust and draw from my intuition. I feel honoured to say I have trained with him."

    —Stella T.

  • Budi is unique and subtle. He gave me permission to fully be myself, while challenging me to do my best work. His wisdom opened my wisdom. I will work with him any chance I get. There are not many people that I know who can help me continue to grow, at this point in my life. Budi is one of the few. One of the most amazing human beings I have met in my life.
