Class Experience

I offer coaching for actors, performers, and public speakers. Depending on the students' needs, we will learn various voice and body warmup techniques, text analysis and character creation techniques. This is a very hands-on training for those students who either actively audition for film and theatre, are working on a school play, or are looking to refine their public speaking skills. I have been trained in a variety of techniques as an actor, from Stanislavsky and Michael Chekhov, to Uta Hagen. My belief is that there is not one technique in acting that works for everyone but each performer creates their own "kitchen" where they could apply different techniques in the moment, depending on what is required. Because I have a lot of experience as a director, I seek to help my students not only to learn the technical aspect of acting but to also get in touch with their inner artist and learn how to create truthful, unforgettable characters that only they could bring into the world. Having had a lot of experience in the industry, I would also gladly coach my students on auditioning and putting their marketing materials together, such as headshots, clips and reels, as well as finding their type that would appeal to the casting directors in the current market.
Learning Goals
My students will learn all the basics of acting: focus and concentration, sensory memory, substitution, imagination, text analysis and various techniques of creating the characters from ground up, as well as audition prep, and improvisation skills. I am not a voice/speech coach but I will give general notes and tips, as well as useful voice warmups.
