Jaime Ray Newman : Academy Award Winning Artist 

“Diana taught me lessons of empathy and character work that I carry with me in every role I play, no matter if it’s an audition, series, film or play. Her words of wisdom cut to the bone. I have this quote from her pasted at my desk, a daily reminder of her wisdom “Storytelling is bigger than any agent, any studio, any audition. It will be around longer than any one of us, and it is only through us, the artists, that these divine, universal stories stay eternal”. Diana burrows deep into the artistry of acting, while always reminding us that the fun of play and imagination is just as essential. I am so grateful to have found her as a guide and muse!”

Academy Award winner Jamie Ray Newman is a veteran in this business. Her illustrious career has not only spanned genres but also roles within the industry. She has taken the role of actress, director, as well as producer. Case in point, she produced the 2019 Academy Award winning short film, Skin. 

You have surely seen her on your Tell-A-Vision. From starring as Kat Gardener in ABC’s Eastwick, to being Stacey Walker in ABC’s The Rookie, and playing opposite Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington as Elizabeth Manwill in HULU’s Little Fires Everywhere. 

On the big screen you have seen her as Monica in Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can. As well as in the Warner Bros., Jennifer Aniston led film, Rumor Has It.

The Acting Studio That Exposes You to Eternal Human Truths

Jaime has an insatiable thirst for storytelling. This authentic love for story has been nurtured through the many years that Jaime has worked with her acting coach, Diana Castle. 

Jaime’s years as an acting student at The Imagined Life® awakened her to the deep roots of storytelling and to a practical daily creative practice to support those roots. Jaime’s daily creative practice excavates the core truths that each human story holds. 

Long after we’re gone, future generations of humans will continue to recognize the incontestable truths and rhythms of their beating human hearts, and the stories that honor that cadence. As so, Jaime’s stories will stand the test of time. 

Anchor Your Humanity to the FUNdamentals of Acting

Your imagination is an eternal wellspring that never runs dry. It’s the map to all the unexplored lands, tales and the many Selves burrowed within you. It’s also the place where your inner child still resides – endlessly playing, having fun and patiently awaiting your arrival. 

Jaime has reunited with hers through story, and puts it this way – “you just sort of throw yourself in…does it serve the story?…You’re playing characters, and it’s fun to be something that you would never do in real life. It’s part of the imagination of our job.”

When Jaime is not on set or in acting class, she’s still connected to her inner child by way of Diana’s weekly teachings on Memberful.

The avenues are limitless.
