Public Speaking with Kelsey J.

I love acting so much and I LOVE sharing with all my students everything that I know! I graduated from Missouri Southern State University and received my Bachelor of Arts in Theatre. Then received my Masters in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Acting from Lindenwood University. I have always been a performer who acts from natural instincts and with passion! I am completely devoted to my craft and could not imagine doing anything else with my life. My objective is to inspire creativity among all ages and to expand their imagination. I instruct understanding in the craft of acting and learning how to develop an expressive voice and body. In my lessons I will focus on character development, experiment with a variety of scenes and monologues, study the essential elements of acting, and explore the world of performing arts. I am available for private acting lessons of all kind. Each of my lessons are uniquely designed for the student and their goal. All my lessons include audition prep. I will assist those students by preparing them for their next audition by studying audition etiquette while expanding their material selection. *** Lesson Details *** Lessons can be 30-120 min long which include proper stance, vocal warm-up, breathing exercises, evaluating your voice, developing character analysis, objectives, subtext, improv, and so much more! It is advised that each student keep a "Sense Journal" to enhance their senses and help them stay true to their character.
