I've been an actor for about a million years and an acting coach for the last five or six.

​My job is to help you identify your strengths and address your weaknesses. 
​
I will help you prepare your audition so that it feels like a performance, not a test and I will help you put your audition on tape so it is easy and fun and it looks great.
​
I'm funny. I'm kind. I'm energetic.
I'm not pretentious and I'm not a robot.

I believe there are some differences between acting for film and acting for theatre but, in the end, it is all about honesty and reaction, truth telling and good choices. Performing may be glorious and liberating but it is always challenging.  Preparing well means being uncomfortable.  Acting is hard and auditioning is harder.  My goal is to push you as an actor to go through the icky stuff here with me so that you can shine once you get in the room.
​

COACHING
​

We can work together for an hour if you are trying to polish an audition or prepare a single scene. Or, we can schedule multiple sessions if you are working on a bigger project such as preparing several monologs to get into an MFA program.  

TAPING
​

The idea of a "self" tape is such a misnomer.  In the words of Rob Base and DJ EZ-Rock, "It takes two to make a thing go right." So, you do the acting and I'll take care of making sure it looks and sounds good. I will also read opposite you (skillfully) and, finally, I will edit the clips and upload the ones we select to the platform of your choice.

Self-tapes and coaching are available on-line.
All you need is a smart phone or a laptop with Zoom.
​I capture the tape on my end, edit, tweak and upload it to WeTransfer. I will send you a link so you can deliver it to your reps or I will upload as needed.  

Training​

I imagine that actors coming to work with me will have some amount of training.  No worries if you don't, but, if you do, know that we will start with your vocabulary and your process and go from there.  

Talent

If you are engaging in this process, someone along the way has probably said to you, "You're good at this..." and hopefully you have felt it as well.  We'll use your strength, build on what you do well, and then we'll address the things you find challenging.

Timing​

My job is to help you take advantage of the opportunity at hand.  You have an audition or a role; my task is to help you make the very most of this promising moment.
