Daniel Strausman

Have a chat with Daniel

Hi! My name is Daniel Strausman. I’m a New York based actor who received a BFA in Acting at California Institute of the Arts in 2019. I have always had a wild imagination but my passion for acting really started when I was 13 years old, being a part of my school’s musical productions and shows. My first encounter with Shakespeare and the true craft of acting, however, was when I was 15 years old and met Katie and Elke in their Teen Shakespeare summer program. I absolutely fell in love with Shakespeare and classical theatre and have been in love ever since. I went back for the following summer and after that attended Emerson’s pre-college program for acting. 

During my time at CalARTS I was in many productions, including Shakespeare, experimental theatre, dance, and film. In 2018 I went to London to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts for their 8 week summer Shakespeare program. There I delved further into the text, technique, and characters that make Shakespeare great. Not to mention going to the Globe Theatre and his birthplace! 

Since graduating I’ve been doing freelance projects for both theatre and film. I’ve worked with Yonder Window in a couple of their Zoom readings and, most recently, have signed with the agency Bonafide and Emerging Artists. I’m excited to share my experiences and help incoming students realize their dream of acting and learn the secrets to a successful audition.
