I teach private acting coaching and acting classes in person in Los Angeles or coach online via Zoom or Skype. I also provide coaching and taping for self-tape auditions. Additionally, I offer professional acting career development coaching which can be tailored to each student's needs. Some examples of what this can include are: how to make an exceptional acting resume and reel that highlights yo
ur strengths, how to master your auditions for different genres (drama, comedy, horror, thriller, action, period pieces, fantasy, etc.), and how to get an agent or manager if you don't have representation. I am proud that many of my students have achieved great success. My acting student and casting highlights are below. Michele has guided many of her students to great careers. Some of her success stories include coaching Channing Tatum for his first lead role in the Paramount film Coach Carter starring Samuel L. Jackson and developing Jessika Van (Awkward, Seoul Searching, Bulge Bracket) into a major leading actress. Sarah Ramos (Parenthood & American Dreams) and Vivian Bang (Always Be My Maybe & Sullivan & Son) are a couple of Michele's most promising students. Chris Pang (Crazy Rich Asians & Palm Springs) and singer/actress Ajiona Alexus (13 Reasons Why) are Michele’s students who have had great breakout careers. Canadian-based actor Michael D'Agostino has booked 16 major roles in the past 3 years coaching with Michele via Skype. Michael’s most recent credits are a film with Brooke Shields and a new TV series starring Paul Sorvino. CASTING CREDIT HIGHLIGHTS:
"FREEDOM WRITERS" - starring two-time Oscar winner Hillary Swank
"PHENOMENON" - starring John Travolta, Robert Duvall, Kyra Sedgwick and Forest Whitaker. "PROVIDENCE" - NBC drama series - Jon Hamm, lead of Mad Men, got his first series regular role. NOTABLE ACTING STUDENTS TESTIMONIALS
Michele is a wonderful coach. She looks at the role from a casting director's perspective. Her coaching helped prepare Sarah for auditions for the role of Patty Pryor on American Dreams. Her assistance was amazing. SHARON BIEDERMAN (Sarah Ramos’ mom). If you need an acting coach, Michele Juskowitz is one of the most generous, insightful, with lots of detailed TOOLS and amazing feedbacks. I had the privilege of working with her years ago, and she is AWESOME! VIVIAN BANG
Michele is one of the greatest acting coaches I have worked with! I was with her for over a year and she continually pushed me to my limits and I learned so much about myself as a person and actor. Not only does she truly believe in her students, she goes out of her way to be supportive. She got me a meeting with Emma Roberts's manager and plenty of other meetings for other students! She knows a ton of people in the business and is willing to make calls to further your career. She is extremely smart and knows how to break a scene down and help create characters. Plus, she has the greatest stories! She's not one of those coaches that says "Oh, really great job!" and goes onto the next student. She starts off with saying what was good, but then goes into what needs work. Her approach is all about diving into places that you aren't comfortable with. She assigns scenes that will be challenging, not scenes that she thinks is the "right role" for you. Highly recommended! BRENDAN CALTON
Michele is incredible. Her knowledge and experience stem from different facets of the industry – casting, writing, and managing – and give her a uniquely well-rounded perspective to share with the actor. JESSIKA VAN
