ACTORS: 

Having a career in acting can be difficult. It can be hard to know where to start, how to keep yourself top of mind for agents, and how to navigate the industry. I can help guide you through the industry, using my experience as a casting director, producer, and theatre director. I'll guide you through how the industry works here from signing up for agencies to making sure you know what you're signing once you get a job. Knowing how to impress casting directors but also knowing how to protect yourself as an actor is beyond important. 

In addition, I do acting coaching which ranges from weekly acting lessons to coaching for a specific audition or goal. The best part of private coaching is it's all taiilored to your needs and goals. During the intake we discuss what you're looking for or what you're struggling with as an actor. 

CORPORATES: 

Using acting techniques I help guide individuals through how to improve their presenting skills, difficult conversation skills, or building confidence. Working together we can create a personalize plan to help you lead with better empathy, be more confident when you're doing your next presentation or help you figure out your next career move.
