ABOUT OJM

Othell J. Miller is a passionate and innovative professional artist/educator dedicated to meeting humanity's need for enlightening, empowering, and entertaining art. Othell has been seriously engaged in the art and craft of theater since a teen. Subsequently, he pursued two theater-related degrees, a BS in Speech Communications & Theater from Tennessee State University and an MFA in Acting from Rutgers, Mason Gross School of the Arts.

 

He has taught Acting & Public Speaking for the last 25 years, both on a collegiate and secondary school level; conducted communication workshops for corporations, universities, and churches; and has performed in or directed numerous theater productions. 

 

Mr. Miller's primary objective as an artist/educator is to foster in others both self-awareness and a greater understanding of the human condition.  He believes meaningful, technically sound acting, speech, or public speaking instruction equips clients to both perform at high-levels as well as display a clearer comprehension of themselves. 

 

He is most concerned with speakers and actors delivering authenticity on stage and/or on-screen. Therefore, his work pushes the speaker and actor to develop a strong sense of truth. Moreover, realizing that analysis and interpretation precedes strong performance, he trains speakers to effectively score and interpret their speeches and actors to bravely connect with other actors and the circumstances of their scripts. Lastly, Mr. Miller is also invested in the development and use of both precise diction and a natural, confident, and compelling voice.
