I will teach you the nuts and bolts of it all and then help you book bigger and better jobs as we work. You will have some homework as you must work hard to join this industry! Making a reel, auditioning and getting an agent are all steps I can help you with.

Have been training actors in NYC for 15 years and many have gone on to films, TV, getting agents, winning awards. Have been a director and casting director in both NY and LA and know what auditions entail and what they want to see in order to cast you! I have taught Golden Globe nominees, Emmy winners and Tony winners  and I consult with casting many of your favorite shows!

Very fun, very informative first lesson about the business of voice acting; can't wait for the next one!

Stephanie is a really kind and funny person. She made me learn new things, definitely recommend.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Stephanie!

Stephanie is fantastic. Enthusiastic. Patient. Everything you'd want in a teacher when learning something new.

Stephanie is THA BOMB, to put it mildly. Extremely experienced and knowledgeable professional who conveys her industry wisdom clearly and provides a solid foundation for a newer artist to build on. Sharp, funny and a pleasure to work with - highly recommended!

Stephanie is a great teacher, she immidiately fugure out my weak points and we were working on them. love to work with her more.

Stephanie is one of the best instructors I've ever had. Not only is she incredibly kind and patient, but it feels like she is genuinely invested in your personal growth. Can't begin to express how much she's helped me and how much I'd recommend her for anybody looking to get into this field.

It has only been my first session and my mind is already at ease. I am so excited to work with Stephanie! I feel so lucky I have found the absolute BEST vo coach to help me with my project on my first try. Thank you so much! :D

Stephanie is a great coach. She has added so many "tools" to my "toolbox" as she likes to say. Anyone that is looking for a coach for acting, speaking, etc. should look no further than Stephanie.

Stephanie is the best teacher I have ever had. She tailors the lesson plan to my interests and skill level. She is very knowledgeable about every part of the film industry. Also, she gives great movie recommendations. If you are an aspiring actor, writer, director, or casting director, I recommend signing up for Stephanie's lessons.

Stephanie is charismatic and highly experienced in the field, she has always kept the class fun and interesting
