I've been teaching acting for 5 years and my students have gone on to gain acceptance into Harvard University, Yale University and NYU. I specialize in audition technique, cold reading technique, Shakespeare performance, scene study, voice, speech, physical acting, and character creation. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels! I can't wait to meet you!

Hi there! : )

Let's face it - if you're reading this right now, you are a performer at heart and you probably love making people laugh and cry and feel emotions! Congratulations for following your heart AND seeking out lessons to improve!

I would LOVE to be a part of your journey! I have been acting for 20 years now - 10 years on stage and ten years in the film industry. I've worked musicals, straight plays, commercials, industrials, TV shows, movies, Voice Over and Print so I can help you become a better actor in all of these genres! And yes, I am still very actively auditioning and working!

Our main goal together will be to get authenticity and honesty in your performances. Simply put, we want to see YOU in your performances and your unique take on life. There is no one on the earth quite like you and that's what we want to see! And of course, we will also tailor our studies to booking the job!!! : )

I look forward to making magic with you!

I have been teaching and coaching actors for 20 years. My students work professionally on stage, TV and film. Within the first few lessons, you will understand how to create a character. Soon, you will have the skills to book a role. I specialize in method acting, but draw upon my experience at The Second City (improvisation) in Chicago and other training I have had. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels; I can't wait to meet you!

I have a B.A. in Theatre from Centenary College of Louisiana, and have taught acting with the Talented Arts Program in Louisiana public schools for 6 years. I have also offered private and group lessons, camps, and workshops locally for more than 10 years. In addition to an accredited college education, I have extensively studied and performed Shakespeare and studied improvisation with several instructors and professionals in the Chicago area. (Strange combination, I know.) Former students have made appearances in national commercials, television series such as Rizzoli&Isles, national and international broadway tours, and a great run in the Broadway musical Kinky Boots.

Experienced Acting and Speech coach with experience from around the world! I have studied speech, dialects and acting at Harvard University as well as abroad at the Moscow Art Theatre School and National Institute for Dramatic Art in Australia. As a recent graduate of an MFA Acting program, I have been educated in the most up to date teaching methods and a wide array of acting and speech techniques. I create lesson plans that are individualized to suit each student’s needs and goals with enjoyment at the top of priority list. I have a lot of experience teaching children as well as adults in both private and group settings. I have a huge interest and experience in voice and speech technique as well. Whether it’s for an upcoming audition or just for fun, I can’t wait to work with you!
