    About Eric G.

    I am a stage director, pianist and acting coach. I can prep nearly anyone to make an audition more successful and have sat through countless auditions for musical theatre and opera. I think everyone needs a second opinion, or third, or fourth on how their auditions look and sound and, most importantly, HONEST advice on what to do better.

    Certifications

    Certified to Teach Music K-12

    May, 1991

    Michigan

    Complete disclaimer! This teaching certificate is expired, due to not teaching in a public school, still is was attained! Also, since there is not another place to put it, I put up Actors' Equity as my union affiliation because I AM a union member in good standing with Stage Directors and Choreographers. This Take Lessons site doesn't have that option, and even though I've requested it, I'll leave this "sister" organization up until they have the option. Important to know I'm a member of a union, just the correct one!
