Acting Coach
I'm so glad you're here!
​
With over 15 years of experience, I offer on camera audition coaching for all ages, as well as pre-set filming coaching, on set coaching for studios, and coaching for newer actors looking to level up their performance skills.
In working with actors of all ages, I like to focus on finding humanity and specificity in the work. A life long learner and actor myself, I am always growing and learning both on my own and from my students. In my classes, I pull from a lot of different techniques from Chubbuck to Meisner to Krakower to Alexander and more.
I love:
-
Sharing techniques and tools to help actors dive deeper into living the full truth of dramatic emotional scenes
-
Working with students on finding truth and contrast in comedy for those laugh out loud moments
-
Helping actors find an in to connect to and become challenging characters
-
Sorting how to tape auditions with difficult stage directions
-
Helping actors make sense of and perform generally confusing scenes and auditions
-
Helping actors identify and break through their blocks
-
Working with actors on how to healthily get into and out of deeper emotional states
-
Helping actors learn to breakdown scripts and how to honor the writing while still bringing their unique selves and perspectives to each role
