Brian Collins, actor, spokesman, and corporate coach, was born and raised in Chicago, and attended the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. He did his postgraduate work in nuclear physics, and then served in the submarine force for seven years while traveling extensively in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.

 

Brian began his acting career on stage in San Francisco, and has since appeared in Simon and Simon, Falconcrest, The Young and the Restless, General Hospital and many other soaps, series and movies. He has represented corporations in more than a thousand industrial film, trade show and convention presentations. Check out his full resume on www.IMDB.com/

 

In 1986, he founded Ovation, a training company that has helped thousands of business executives, politicians, and other professionals become dynamic public speakers. Brian has perfected the Earprompter, a cutting edge technique for delivering speeches word-for-word without using notes or memorizing. It is a dynamic presentation tool - once used only by actors - that is easy to learn, easy to use, and helps others "Speak Like a Pro" whether in the boardroom, the classroom or on stage. One of the few Earprompter experts, Brian offers the training and the equipment necessary to make it happen for you.

 

In 2009 Brian officially teamed up with Louie Stevens, with whom he’s worked independently since 1987, to form Ovation.TV, Inc., a company that produces films from concept and writing, thru videoing and postproduction, to delivery. The films are dynamite, the testimonials are glowing, and the prices are reasonable, especially considering that between them, they have garnered over 30 international film awards (and counting)

 

What’s next for Brian? Considering that his suitcase is only unpacked long enough to re-pack it, there’s always travel in his plans. He divides his time between Southern and Northern California, driving the distance along the I-5 in his yellow bug with the license plate HUGS 2 U. Keep your eyes open for the man with the knock-em-alive smile!

 

He loves reading books on the beach and watching shy, scared newbies transform into confident speakers. He receives emails and phone calls of gratitude nearly everyday.
