I am a graduate of the University of Phoenix and USF with an education degree and a communications degree .I am also an LCTI certified Life Coach.  I am passionate about learning. I believe the most important skill for success is to become and remain a life-long learner in EVERY aspect of your life.  I have hands on teaching experience from Pre-K through adult learners. I believe everyone will experience success if their educators practice active listening and adaptive teaching techniques. My goal is to find out how YOU learn and adapt my process to YOU. In my "free time," I am an avid reader, pianist and cook. I attend as much theatre as I can and spoil my dog rotten!

Bring your audition material or I'll provide some and let's have some hand's on audition prep.  I'll give you direction and we will change things up.  What might the director ask you to do?  How should I play this character? What can I do to stand out and be remembered?  How can I make sure I am fully prepared?

Do you want to get involved in acting at school but you're scared to take the first step?
Do you watch tv and movies and think, "I could do that!"?
Do you love acting and want to shoot for the lead instead of playing an extra?

This is the place for you!

I have over 20 years' experience acting and directing and teaching actors of all ages.
I provide a combination of techniques and methods to find the what works for you.

Acting is NOT pretending - it's finding a way to tell the character's truth - through YOUR truth.
I teach you how to engage authentically and powerfully so that your audience, whoever they are, leans in to hear more.

Artists feel things deeper and higher to enable the audience to tap into feelings they may be afraid to experience.
Acting is a gift and I'm here to help you wrap it up!

kinda ignored me and kicked me for no reason wont be in her class anymore

Very informative and personable. Misti is easy to be comfortable with, but still offers constructive criticism and guidance! She is such a good vibe!

Misti is the BEST! Love her! She gave my kids and I so much confidence. Thank you, Misti from Corie, Trinity and Zion!

Lovely to work with, positive energy and really helps to fine tune your acting ability! 

Give Misti a try and you will have a enjoyable memorable experience.

It was a nice and fun experience participating in Voice Acting!

I Started utilizing Misti about two months ago and here is what I have to say.

1) she is a no bull teacher she is going to give real advice and sometimes you may love it but she is amazing and an incredible human.

2) welcome to the family she is not just a teacher she will worry about you as if she is a mom! having a lesson with Misti is like a warm hug from a mother.

3) I have learned so much about the craft of acting and myself as the actress.

4) when it comes to teaching she won't just let you fail she will run it with you a few times and give you advice but your opinion matters too but trust she knows what she is doing so I tend to follow her lead if need be.

5) she will always be honest with you and she cares about your mental state as well she won't let you run a scene that might be too harmful unless she knows you can do it. she will push but not off an edge! 


I could not recommend her more honestly!!


love Rae.

Misti is a fantastic teacher! She’s helped me in so many ways to gain the confidence to go achieve my goals! She’s very laid back but also pushes you to do your best and will give you great criticism!

Misti is a great teacher she gives you great approaches for your acting roles and monologues .ideas that you have never thought about taking . And they  work and you can see and feel results fast
