The
result of this experience?
An edge other coaches do not have!
I know what the people on the other side of that camera or sitting behind that table want to see. The
great thing is, everyone wants you to do well, everyone in that audition room wants you to succeed, and you can
settle into that energy too.
And
of course, I've been on hundreds of auditions myself for stage, film and TV. Experience is a powerful educator.

My Style
I have developed a teaching and
coaching style that is a combination of ideas inspired by by Meisner and Linklater training, and by my study of energy, mind-body
holism and intuition. The reason my students get call-backs, book jobs, get into acting programs (grad and undergrad) is because
I am able to clearly see where each individual student needs to go internally to create honest and open character. Each
time you choose a new monologue, get handed a script, you engage in deeply personal work. If you do not
take the risk of working internally on your own emotional life, you run the risk of creating shallow disconnected characters.
I work with solid techniques and I also work intiutively.
This means I see more, I sense more. I use this ability to help you get to a deeply connected place with your words. This
is why I can get you through obstacles in your acting and help you clarify and personalize your character.
And because I coach voice as well
as acting, I’ll be giving you help with your vocal life.
Acting coaching and voice coaching
are inseparable.
Even in just one session, you can
feel closer to your words. You can feel audition-ready and excited about your process!

Technique
is your base, it supports you.
I can help you get
to a confident performance place. The way you prepare for, the way you put into perspective every audition affects your performance
in that audition. There is simply no reason to be,
