Public Speaking, Acting, Improv, and Communication Skills
"Speaking publicly was always my greatest fear until I had an opportunity to be coached by James. In just 5 one-hour lessons, my fear of public speaking was eliminated. James was able to convey that my fear of public speaking was irrational, and with several key preparation techniques I would be able to overcome this lifelong challenge. All true! Thanks James!"

Whether you want to work on a monologue for your next audition or start from the beginning I can tailor my lessons to fit your needs. I have a Masters in Theatre with an emphasis in Directing.

Lettie's creativity invites the student to "play" and truly discover their inner artist, and provides them with proven tools to continue their artistic growth on their own as well.

I coach students on their monologues so they can improve their auditions and self-tapes. I help them with monologue selection if needed, monologue breakdown, character breakdown, performance techniques, exercises, and much more. My students leave with not only an incredible monologue for auditions, but also a more in-depth understanding of acting and character work.
The theater techniques I use to teach acting and coach monologues include: Stanislavski, Meisner, Uta Hagen, and Michael Chekhov. I promote a positive and safe environment for actors to explore their character and creativity.

I have been going to him for coaching, off and on, for a few years now and overtime I see my work improve by leaps and bounds. He is always patient and genuine with his coaching and has a way of putting his student at ease. His personal experience with the craft means that he really knows how to relate to actors and bring out the best in their performance. If you can get on his roster of clients DO IT!"

Very nice,well spoken,informative
Answered all my questions
An absolute pleasure to work with!!!"

Stars like Meryl Streep and Al Pacino make it look easy, but if you want to become a professional actor, don't expect to rely on talent alone. Even if you're a natural performer who can cry on command and memorize lines, you'll need to learn the following fundamental drama techniques to really master the art of acting. 1. Vocal Dynamics Your lines are just words until you deliver them, but unless your voice is well-trained, they'll still fall flat or sound forced. In order to accurately port …
