I really love watching performers grow. Some students refer to me as a life coach, because after working with me,  they see drastic changes in their personal and professional lives. I am very PATIENT.

 I believe that all things are possible if you are willing to work hard and not take it all too seriously. I believe in BALANCE. If you put your best foot forward and not compare yourself to others the sky is simply the LIMIT. 

I still pursue acting and singing daily. I go out on auditions regularly and I keep up with the latest happenings in the industry. I majored in theater at WSU and I've performed in over 29 shows and I also teach At-Risk-Youth behavioral modification skills through acting.

  I know dreams can true, it's all up to YOU. If you really want to see your dreams come true in this life, I will be more than willing to assist you on this journey.
:) Yvette.

In 2005, I was introduced to a well-known organization that works with At-Risk-Youth. I've always wanted to work with this population due to my own past as a creative child with nowhere to be creative.

After working with these talented children, I decided to form my own non-profit organization and teach behavior-modification through acting as a way to give back to the community. That's when I founded, SILENCE THE TEARS. We go out and encourage young people to believe in their dreams and to let no one or anything stop them from being their very best, no matter what career path they decide to take.
This is all done through acting classes and building confidence in students who rarely have a chance to excel in life.

First of all, let me just say, I love people. What really makes me happy outside of pursuing my dreams as a performer,  is watching other performers make their dreams come true. I have a gift for helping others come out of their shells and be the unique individuals that they're met to be. This workshop will help you decide if this is something you would like to pursue professionally or just do as a hobbie. 

I specialize in building confidence in you in order to bring out your star quality! Each workshop is designed to prepare you as much as possible for upcoming performances, public speaking events, auditions and last but not least, how to better handle everyday life. Acting can be an amazing form of therapy to help you think outside of the box and become more flexible as a human being. 

 I can't promise to make you a star in Hollywood, but your confidence will improve and you can decide which direction to go from there.

Yvette was amazing I look forward to continuing my acting journey with her being my acting coach great  experience!

I Just had my first lesson with Yvette, and it was better than I could have ever Imagined. She is a Kind, Honest and Patient person which really took away all the stress and made it an overall amazing experience. I look forward to future lessons with Yvette!

I clicked with Yvette during our first meet. She really took the time to get to know me and the goals I had for my lessons. I can already tell that she is going to help me come out of my shell so I can achieve my dreams with confidence and determination. Her warm and non-judgemental approach made me feel seen and heard. She is super knowledgeable about her craft, the industry, and the steps I need to take to build a toolbox to help me move forward. I am so excited I found her!

Yvette is a compassionate and attentive teacher. She takes her time to listen and assist students with overcoming challenges and insecurities.

It is hard for me to put in words to describe the
quality and treasure Yvette will deposit in your spirit. Because... there are so many words to describe her amazing talent and teaching gifts.
But I will just use one word to represent all the words that define Yvette..."EXCEPTIONAL" after
participating in her classes you will become
outstanding, extraordinary and remarkable!!!

Yvette’s lessons are always great, she always tries to prepare you as much as possible and point you into the direction that can help you the most.

I’ve taken Yvette’s class for a year now and I can proudly say I am an ACTOR! 

Not only does her teachings apply to acting, they transpose to real life as well. A year ago I was terrified of any sort of class and lacked confidence in my acting ability. The thought of starting an acting career was overwhelming. Yvette is able to recognize your strengths and weaknesses and utilize that to build up your skills. As uncomfortable as I was, she provided a warm, welcoming, supportive environment that built up my self esteem. Her classes also provide excellent knowledge of the acting world that you also can apply to real life. She pushes you in a good way. A year later, I can proudly say I’m not afraid of classes anymore. I’m able to take group classes and have started my acting career. I have also stepped out of my comfort zone (using her teachings) with things I previously would have been too afraid of. 

If you are willing to show up and do the work, and you know what’s good for you, please take her class!

Yvette is an amazing instructor! She has not only helped me improve my acting but has been a personal mentor to me as well. She is an amazing person and doubles as an acting coach and a therapist. I've been with her for 6 months and love our classes each week! She has so much experience and knowledge in the acting world and will put you in the right direction. Take her! You won't regret it!

She made me realize I have skills that not very many actors have.

I've only taken a few classes with Yvette but I'm really excited to take on this new endeavor with Yvette. She is a personable and genuine person. She is excited for me to learn and gives me good feedback and encouragement. She is also very passionate about acting.

I absolutely love Yvette and her classes!!! Yvette has taught me everything I know about acting, tv hosting, and the entertainment industry as a whole. I don’t know what I would have done if it wasn’t for her. Her class is a family feel. It makes you feel excited and ready to learn. I applied her techniques to my auditions and was booked for acting roles and major tv appearances. I have guest co host on The Talk, and has been featured in top tv networks such as Fox, ABC, CBS, BET, ABC Family and TLC Network. I would give her 20 stars if I could. She is absolutely amazing. Hands down!!!! I am so grateful and blessed that I was her student in her class. My career has soared ever since!!!!

Yvette makes acting so much fun to learn! With me being a first-time acting student, she brings an energy of positivity and encouragement into each lesson.

Yvette was a great teacher! Made me feel very comfortable and was very knowledgeable and kind!

Yvette is extremely kind and easy to talk to! Not only does she teach acting, but she really works on self-confidence and self-esteem. Very excited to continue working with her!

Life Coaching doesn't have to be a pain. You are not going to the dentist, you are just taking control of your life and reaching out in order to take the next step to success. 
Success is many things to different people. We all want the same things in life, love, respect, and a peace of mind. Are you ready to get closer to that peace of mind? It all starts from within.  The work doesn't have to be hard it can actually be fun. 
My workshops are unique because I make it FUN! I believe in taking one step at a time and not taking life too seriously, loosen up, don't wait to be discovered, discover yourself first.

A fun Group Beginner's Acting Workshop... What you can expect.

Big cities are where the real happening is, that is for sure, but knowing when to go can be a tricky decision. If you are really ready to go to the big cities, be prepared and get some inside information from someone who has and is currently in the city of your choice. 
It can and is done everyday, and yes, dreams can come true!
 Just do proper research and everything will work out fine. 
One shoe doesn't fit all but I share my experience with my students regarding making the big plunge when the time is right. 

What you should know before moving to the big city. 

Getting an audition is always so much fun but it can be a little stressful when you just can't think of what to wear.
 It might sound like common sense,  but it can tricky. Always be ready the night before and follow the instructions on the audition notice. Be your beautiful self but pay attention. Sometimes we get too excited and go overboard. 

How to dress for the audition.

Calling all young superstars! This workshop will be primarily for kids ages 5-9 years old. If you have a child who is really funny, shy, full of energy and would like to learn about television commercials, this is a perfect class to get started.
 You just never know, you might have a little star on your hands. This class is also great for shy children who need to come out of their comfort zone. The environment is very supportive and slow paced. 

Kids Commercial Workshop....

Your headshots are important, especially in the beginning. Headshots are one of the most confusing parts of being an actor. You will get lots of opinions and suggestions at first. Be careful not to spend a ton of money until you are ready. In my class, I will go over the headshots with you and discuss other options when the time is right. 

Getting Headshots. Do's and Don'ts. 

There are so many fun and exciting ways to support yourself while studying acting. Waiting tables is just one option. You can meet some amazing people on your way to the big time!

Survival jobs while pursuing your acting career.

Life Coaching can be very beneficial especially at this time in society. After Covid, so many of us have decided to look at life from a different prospective. I would love to be of help to you when you are ready. Life doesn't have to be dealt with alone. 

Life Coaching can be life Changing. Life doesn't have to be dealt with alone. 

 Commercials are a great way to get into the entertainment industry. In this workshop we will work on finding the right material for you. 
We will find out what your type is, and get you at a level where you feel comfortable in front of the camera so that you are ready when it's time to audition and eventually Book the job!
