PRIVATE COACHING FOR ACTORS

I am a passionate, enthusiastic working actor who has done it all - I’ve taught and performed abroad, I’ve experienced the undergrad and graduate school audition circuit, and I’ve been auditioning and booking for the last 20 years. Currently, I teach acting and performance technique at NYU and the Atlantic Acting School in New York City. I received my BA in Drama and Philosophy from the University of Washington-Seattle, and a dual MFA from the American Repertory Theater at Harvard University and the Moscow Art Theater in Russia. I use several techniques from my experience and training to create a collaborative atmosphere. The hope is that you walk away from our time together feeling empowered, equipped with tools that make the work accessible, grounded, active, and FUN.

I truly love what I do and would be honored to support you in your acting journey. If my listed rates cannot work for you, please still contact me about a reduced rate or payment plans. We’re in this together.

Self-Tape/Audition Coaching

Audition/Self Tape coaching can include a short script analysis, coaching of your scene, being your reader, and/or helping you narrow down your best takes. I am a complete believer that nothing you can come up with will be more interesting than YOU. I encourage and work towards getting the most present you to shine through in self tapes. These sessions are all virtual.

I look up to you so much, and I hope that our paths cross sooner rather than later.”

You are one of the greatest teachers I've ever had, and you have truly helped me to change and improve my acting and my general existence honestly.
