Acting Lessons in Greenpoint. Amazing Teachers.

I have been teaching and coaching acting students for almost ten years. I am also a working actor myself and graduate of The Juilliard School. My students have gone to some of the top conservatory programs and have booked Broadway shows, Television, Commercials. After working with me, whether it be on an audition or monologue, you will start to learn the skills that will take you to the next step. I am very interested in preparing students for their college auditions!

Stella Adler, Stanislavsky, Chekhov, and Meisner Acting Technique for Theatre/Camera is taught in private and group classes. All students are exposed to each technique and Rachel sees which technique each student responds to the most. Once the student and Rachel are able to identify the technique, Rachel continues to use the terminology of that technique for the remainder of the time the student is in lessons. Students eventually are able to play roles truthfully and realistically, even if the roles are opposite of the student's own personality.

I use a variety of acting techniques and philosophies to help guide actors into discovering what lives beyond the page. We dive deep into the characters and situations to find truth, needs, and wants that bring a depth of life to the performance.

Do you have dreams of being on Broadway? Need help with an audition? Take it from a working professional with 20 years experience to help you. These lessons are for students pursuing theatrical acting and an understanding of theater. Students will learn fundamental terminology, a variety of acting techniques, and explore different genres of the stage. We will work on a variety of monologues, scene work character development, acting while singing and much more.

My goal is to share my knowledge as a classically trained actor and film director. I will create lesson plans catered to each individual that captures the complex and wonderful world of theatrical and on-camera performance. Students will be exposed to various acting methods created by Uta Hagen, Stanislavsky, Michael Chekhov, and others. Students will participate in multiple exercises and performances that will build and strengthen their bodies, voice, mind, and heart.
