Ron Weisberg 

Ron Weisberg (SAG-AFTRA) Ron grew up a misfit in Denison, TX, and became a multifaceted artist and athlete early on. Ron started playing percussion and building his talent before attending the University of Texas at Austin, where he focused on acting and creative writing. After falling in love with improvisation and storytelling, he knew there was no turning back. Ron moved to New Mexico in 2010 and soon found himself acting alongside some of the best storytellers in the industry like Tina Fay, Lou Diamond Phillips, and even rapper 50cent in the film Boneyard with Mel Gibson.  More important than working with A-Listers, Ron realized there was a huge lack of professional training for actors, which led to him opening Story Quest Studios a hybrid online creative acting studio. Find out how he trained thousands of actors to book agents, acting roles, and how to make their own movies. You too can become an award winning filmmaker, and a founder of a game changing tech company! The Discovery Technique is now in your hands.

Rachel Michaela

Rachel Michaela is an Albuquerque native and began her study of acting in 2015 under Roger
Corman Studios legend Eb Lottimer (Albuquerque). She began studying improv under Ben Taxy
at Santa Fe Improv in 2016. That same year she went on to study comedy under Lesly Kahn
(Los Angeles), and was honored to be mentored by the great Sam Christensen (Burbank) until
his death in 2019.
Rachel has performed in hundreds of performances at The Box Theater in Albuquerque as a
member of Albuquerque’s only Harold team Big Feelings (2017-2018), longform team The Hive
(2018-2019), and The Show (2019-2022), the longest running short-form improv show in New
Mexico. In 2019 she became a founding member of The Faculty Lounge, New Mexico’s longest
running professional longform improv team performing in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Las
Vegas, NM. The Faculty Lounge was also selected to perform at the District Improv Festival in
Washington DC in 2023.
In 2020 she was named Lead Instructor in Santa Fe and helped to rebuild (and later merge) the
only two improv schools in the city different–Stage Santa Fe and Santa Fe Improv–into what is
now the current iteration of Santa Fe Improv. One of her favorite pastimes is coaching and
teaching students in improv and performance. She has also led corporate team building
workshops and assisted in facilitating a study measuring Applied Improv–using the techniques
of improvisation to enhance professional performance and well-being. Rachel has taught
hundreds of improv students both virtually and in the classroom. As of July 2024, she is now
teaching independently in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, NM

Success Stories

Testimonials

"

When I started Ron's class, I was a newbie to the field of acting. Over the 6 months I worked with Ron and his unique technique I learned how to fully dive into a character; taking me from an empty résumé to NINE separate film credits. I can't possibly recommend Ron's teaching enough!
