I started private coaching to help professional actors like you book more of the roles you want.

I use a mix of different styles and techniques including Meisner, Stanislavsky and Substitution.

From a technical standpoint, I will read your audition scripts and prepare your sides as if they were my own before you arrive. I have found that it makes all the difference in making character choices and understanding the character’s relationships and motivation.

I will help you get fluent in subtext, inner monologue, script analysis, character development, relationships and the personalization of a role—to name a few. If you’re taping with me we’ll also dive into everything movement related including eye lines, angles, and physicality within the scene.

I think many clients see their biggest challenge as bringing truth and believability to the characters they are playing. This is obviously the end goal and something that needs to be attained in order to book work and grow as an actor, but often fundamentals need to be put in place first.

I have found in my over 25 years of working professionally as an actor, and working with other actors on their craft, many of the things that hold us back as actors are the same things that hold us back in life.

Art Imitates life.

I believe that we are all deeply unique, coming with different baggage, gifts and insecurities, so I approach our work together with that mindset. Some clients learn more cerebrally, while others need to be on their feet moving. Some need to start with basic grounding and relaxation in order to let go enough to approach the work.

While what each client brings is varied, the root of many of their challenges is self worth. Some are afraid to be vulnerable, others don't feel entitled to their real voice, while others won't trust their gut or intuition because they've lost touch with it. Some have difficulty letting go because of safety issues. Whatever is holding you back, I can help you work through it in a safe place that allows for real growth and risk taking because I have overcome many of these obstacles myself.

I'm trained in meditation and reiki—both of which bring a calming quality to my clients. I will use breath work if needed, and I've been known to recommend a great book, essential oil, meditation teacher or therapist if needed!
