Hey All! I will be teaching this summer virtually. I am only taking in 6 students and 3 slots are filled. If you interested in coaching with me this Summer, please contact me ASAP.
There is a new Workshop I will be teaching in late August dealing with understanding and expanding our emotional language skills and the importance of empathy as they pertain to acting. This will either be taught in person or virtually depending on my travel schedule. More on that to come. In the meantime, be sure to reach out if you are interested in privates. Only three slots remain.

Despite requests, I regretfully am unable to schedule a whole Intensive before I leave town again. However I have decided to take on a very small group of individuals for private and semi private coaching. If you’re interested do not wait! I have very little room left.

Back by popular demand! I am holding a special Three Class Acting Intensive! Certain elements will carry over from the Six Week Intensive like Reading, and finding Emotional Anchors but with broader strokes. A fusion of the character work, Improvisation and Cold Reads but with two exciting additions! Two of the classes will focus on entirely new genres of film and TV. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now so this will be the perfect opportunity to delve into the world of thrills and chills and a staple of the on-camera industry - Daytime Soaps!
Deadline for registration is August 21 but don’t wait! Size is extremely limited and already filling up. Register today!

Last year’s late Summer Semester was the most challenging Intensive by far. This video came up in my memories as a year ago today! Here are Miss Brianna Santos, Sara Rankin and Alyssa Corinno. These three young actors were so impactful - their many layers were a slow but beautiful burn. So this video is to share their commitment to the “moment” with you! Enjoy the walk down memory with me!!

This is for all my students out there! Or any actor looking to expand their repertoire or find that perfect monologue for the audition scene!

Red Penguin has just released its latest Anthology and it’s brimming with fresh, nuanced solo material for every actor and reader! And I’m so grateful to announce that two monologues I authored have been included. I’m so proud of these pieces! They could not be more different! So check out “An Empty Stage: A Collection of Monologues” to read “Paper Bird” and “The Non-Date” as well as the other truly wonderful pieces within. ❤️🖤❤️

Part of building an career in the entertainment industry is having a superior work ethic. It’s not only about your performance, it’s also about how prepared you are. Casting Directors or the Director or Writer (if they’re in the room) may give you specific direction or they might just ask you for “something else.”
So have you really prepared?
Your talent can carry you through a lot but it can’t seal the deal. If they ask you for a completely different read do you have one prepared? They might even ask you for two or three choices. Have you thought those through?
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. You want to get cast, of course, but regardless of the immediate outcome, what you really want is to be remembered.
Surprise them.

So yes, we are still in the midst of a Pandemic. The TV and Film Industry is still floundering and these days most of my time is spent holed up, working on my latest script, but I have really been missing acting...
So when I opened my email to an invitation from Casting I was beyond excited!
And I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to share with my students, a little of my process when preparing for an audition. So grab a coffee, get comfy and join me for some tips and tricks that will help get you off the page, out of your head and on the right track to nailing that audition!

Tyler Koch is one of the most incredibly talented and dedicated students I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He has such a wide range of characters he can play. From the good guy who never quite gets the girl, to the kid from the wrong side of the tracks to the maniacal villain you never saw coming! Here is his final scene of our Late Summer Semester - From the movie Primal Fear.
