American Sign Language

For my ASL classes: I am a hearing teacher, who has been learning and teaching ASL for 20 years. I love the language, and I want to support the Deaf community by teaching hearing students how to best communicate with deaf and hard of hearing folks. I even co-created an ASL textbook with one of my deaf ASL teachers. I love to teach, have a pretty good sense of humor, and I enjoy creating a nurturing environment for learning.

For my acting classes: I have been a professional actor for 25 years, starting in theater and then moving to television (I have some self-produced short films as well).  You can view my credits at IMDB.

My expertise is in audition technique: coaching the actor to make solid and discerning choices (every actor brings something unique to the table, and that's what we focus on!), interpreting an audition scene(s), "seeing" the scene so that you can put yourself into the puzzle that is the script, and knowing what will make your audition stand out.

This ASL Basics class is all about getting comfortable with conversational ASL. I will sign a phrase or question and the participating student can either (a) answer the question or (b) give an opinion or response regarding the topic. We will start with simple conversation: one or two sentences at a time, comfortably building our conversational skills. I will encourage participation in this class -- but it's a comfortable, easy environment, I promise!
