Whether you are brand new to the craft of acting, or are a seasoned performer, investing in one-on-one private coaching is a worthwhile commitment that can strengthen your skills and increase your confidence. Through individualized feedback and support, young actors can make huge strides in a short amount of time when the powerful combination of a talented, knowledgeable mentor and accountability combine.

Benefits of private coaching:

  • Extra support when preparing for an audition or callback
  • Breaking through stuck places
  • Learning techniques that you can apply to further your own growth and initiative as an artist
  • Working through a specific acting challenge that hasn’t been met by a group class or workshop
  • Mentorship
  • Building confidence

Our private coaches can help you:

  • Rehearse songs, monologues, and/or choreography for auditions or upcoming performances
  • Find appropriate repertoire that highlights your strengths 
  • Film materials for auditions, callbacks, and pre-screens
  • Refine actor audition tools and etiquette
  • Manage the BA/BFA college audition & application process 
  • Incorporate foundational and/or specialized acting techniques or dialects  into your work
  • And more!
