Fairburn, GA Theater Acting Lessons

I've been teaching and coaching acting students since 2007 to express themselves artistically, free themselves mentally and physically, and learn a variety of techniques to become more natural actors. Students learn through exercises, games and monologue coaching and scene work.

All ages. I have taught drama/musical theatre in groups as well as coached individuals.

With more than two decades of experience working as a professional SAG-AFTRA/AEA actor in Los Angeles, New York, and many places in between, coaching others to build their best auditions and reach their potential as actors and performers has become a passion of mine.

Private Coaching services include, but are not limited to:

* Private Audition Coaching
* College-Specific Audition Coaching and Monologue Selection
* Audition Material Selection Assistance (especially for young women - I have a lot to look through!)
* Work Up a Challenging Role
* Vocal Work and Public Speaking
* Song-As-Monologue Coaching
* "I want to be an actor - where do I start?" Consultation

I have been acting and teaching professionally for over 15 years. Onstage I have had the pleasure of working at many of the most respected theaters in the country. It is my passion to help each and every student improve their acting technique and learn about their own abilities as a performer. Each student will receive one on one instruction, helping them achieve their performance goals regardless of their performance level. My approach is multidisciplinary and incorporates the tools of Stanislavsky, Meisner, Viewpoints, and Laban.

I have my masters in Theater performance. I have a love for live theater! I truly enjoy both drama and comedy equally. I have a passion for working with all levels, from beginners to highly skilled actors. Everyone can learn and be even more specific with every choice they make! Lets have fun!!

I give you the personal attention, acting techniques, and career guidance you need to reach your full potential as an actor.

I share a lifetime of experience as a professional actress. I've also studied acting for decades, with many teachers and varied acting techniques and script analysis. We will explore and find which of these tools work for YOU. You'll create your own toolbox for performing and auditioning with ease, freedom and confidence. I look forward to working with you!

Acting is such a broad term! What are your goals? Do you want to be in films? Do you want to do Shakespeare? Do you want to be in a sit com? Depending upon what your interests are and where you want to go, we will build a plan together. My philosophy on acting techniques is that they are tools to help you, not tests you pass if you're a good actor and fail if you're a bad one. Different techniques work for different people and it is our job to find out what inspires you.

I've worked as a professional actor for many years, performed on Broadway, have my MFA in Performing Arts, and my BA in Arts and Education. I was an assistant director to Tony-winner Sharon Ott and have written and produced my own work. I have experience in both stage and camera acting, which have specific technical differences, but are both a lot of fun once you get used to the medium. Audition technique, preparing monologues, and creating promotional materials are also things I can help with. Anyone who wants to ...

Your craft is your difference, and I am here to help you supply your craft with the tools necessary to make your difference shine.
I am a graduate from The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and currently pursue professional jobs to keep my craft fluid and stay up-to-date on current events. I specialize in warm ups, physical acting, audition training, monologues, improv, Meisner Technique, and Stanislavski’s System. I have 6+ years of experience in the professional acting industry and hope to bring you into the world of endless imagination!
