Greetings!

I offer individualized acting coaching sessions for youth and adult performers (ages 10+). I work with beginners and seasoned performers to help them build voice, body and imagination skills; breakdown scripts/monologues and song lyrics to develop clear character choices; improve stage presence and performance confidence; find tools for comedic and dramatic characters; and discover the joy of your unique strengths and abilities.

My philosophy of training is to create a safe, fun, engaging environmentt for students to discover their strengths, explore new performance styles and trust in honest feedback for areas of improvement.

Students will be introduced to various principles from Stanislavski, Meisner, Spolin, Hagen, Viewpoints and other foundational acting techniques.

Benefits of Acting Coaching:

• Increased Confidence can improve the actor’s stage presence to overcome insecurities, stage fright, and performance anxiety. 

• Personalized, targeted feedback to assess the actor’s strengths and identify areas for improvement.

• Focused Instruction to support the actor’s goals, whether it's audition preparation (for theaters and college programs), character development, and scene work.

• Audition Preparation to help the actor refine monologues/scenes, craft engaging character choices, develop audition techniques and etiquette.

• Character Development to help actor explore the character’s  wants, obstacles, and motivations that translate into a nuanced, authentic portrayal. 

• Self-Tape Preparation to guide the actor to create compelling self-tape auditions, including camera techniques, script interpretation, and performance style.
