Private Coaching: Public Speaking, Acting, & Voice-Over

In this one-on-one coaching session, I help students develop confidence, clarity, and expressiveness in their communication. Whether you're preparing for a speech, auditioning for a role, or exploring voice-over work, these lessons are tailored to your unique strengths and goals.

Specialized Topics Include:
Public Speaking & Debate – College readiness, speech & debate strategies, persuasive speaking, and interview skills.

Acting & Audition Prep – Character development, monologues, scene work, and audition techniques.

Voice-Over Acting – Animation, video game voice-over, narration, and microphone techniques.

Confidence & Resilience Training – Overcoming stage fright, strengthening presence, and using mindfulness for performance anxiety.

Teaching Style & Method:
My approach is strengths-based and trauma-informed, ensuring a supportive and encouraging learning environment. I focus on practical techniques, mindset shifts, and personalized feedback to help students find their authentic voice.

Who is this for?
This class is great for students (ages 13-18) who want to improve their public speaking, acting, or voice-over skills—whether for competitions, performances, or personal growth.

Fun fact: I’m the voice of Lefty in Five Nights at Freddy’s! Let’s work together to bring your voice to life!
