Teaching Locations:

Side note: If you need both industry/marketing advice and acting advice, we can go back and forth. For example: one lesson industry, next weeks lesson acting, then back to industry, and so on. It is all up to you! Please read my "About" section for a more thorough explanation of my experience and capabilities as a coach.
Warmest regards,
About Dax A.
Dax Lily is available for in-studio, in your own home, and online lessons in the categories of teaching acting to beginners, teaching acting specifically for the camera, teaching actor’s and performers how to stand out on social media as well as organically grow their social media presence. Dax has been acting for over 19 years and teaching since 2019. Many of her students have received callback auditions and bookings after coaching with her. Dax teaches all experience levels from beginner to intermediate and advanced.
Dax has her own technique of teaching to help actor’s learn how to analyze scripts in order to make good choices for conveying lines, to be believable when acting, to be unpredictable when acting, and how to not stereotype roles to the point where performance is negatively impacted. Dax also has helped many actors learn how to memorize scripts and how to do it very quickly for when time is not on their side.
In the Fall of 2020, Dax finished filming her first self-produced, self-directed, and self-written movie called Limits of Therapy. She expects the movie that she also stars in to be available to view on Amazon Prime by December 31st, 2020. During her time picking the best actors for her film, she learned what it was really like to be on the casting director’s side of things. By being in the shoes of a casting director, Dax learned so much in regards of what TO do and what NOT to do when auditioning for roles. Sometimes it was something so easily fixable that completely erased the actor’s chance of getting a callback audition. Dax would love to share her tips, tricks, and techniques with you that she has acquired through her experiences both in front of the camera, and behind the scenes.
Dax attended William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey where she got her degree in Marketing because she knew that half of show business is acting and the other half is knowing how to market yourself. Dax is fully equipped with knowledge on how to captivate a desired audience, how to make them stay for the long haul (not unfollow you), and how to increase how big the audience is.
Prior and after college, Dax has had 1000+ hours of private training in acting from some of the world’s best coaches. She has been trained in group settings as well. She continues coaching weekly because she believes acting is like a muscle, if you don’t lose it, you will lose it.

Dax was my first acting coach. Her experience and approach to our work were amazing. She showed me many skills that helped with developing my character. All of her advice was really beneficial in understanding my part as well as gave me an in-depth insight into acting. I cannot wait to continue our work! I can recommend Dax's coaching to everyone on may different levels!

Best instructor ever. She is really down to earth and has helped me understand scripts better and I can honestly say without her coaching, I don’t think I would’ve booked the indie film I just got cast in! I can’t wait to continue lessons with Dax! A+ coach highly recommend her.

Dax is really kind and reliable and she always makes me laugh- a great coach to work with. She has trained me twice a week for about 1 year now and I am still learning new things in each lesson. I am happy to recommend her to anyone in need of improvement in acting and also auditioning - trust me on this one, dont let this one go, coach with Dax!!!

As an experienced actress with a marketing degree, Dax is a great communicator and coach. She helped me with my monologue and her coaching helped bring my ability to the next level. She has also helped me with self-taping auditions. Highly recommend.
