About Hunter P.
I love to help new performers and people looking to break into the biz, as well as seasoned actors who want to up-level their career or deepen their craft. I have been coaching actors since 2008 and have a unique combination of experience and training to help you launch your career and create work that stands out to casting directors & agents and to make self-tapes that shine above the rest.
I have spent more than 20 years working in the entertainment industry in 8 countries. This includes modeling, commercials & print work in Athens & Istanbul, acting in Toronto & London, UK, and even screen writing, before diving into the big market of Los Angeles that I now call home.
With 10 years of vocal training (primarily spoken level voice & breath work for actors) voiceovers has also been a big part of my career, recording voices on more than 400 projects to date.
My love for the craft brought me to study in NYC with legendary acting coach Uta Hagen: a process that transformed my approach and led to such roles as Blanche in Streetcar Named Desire and Karen in David Mamet's iconic Hollywood satire, Speed The Plow. I have also appeared on screen in The Bandit Hound II with Lou Ferrigno, Paul Sorvino & Catherine Bell & on TV in Mutant X, Doc, Singles Court, PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal and has hosted for HGTV. Currently I'm voicing 5 characters (English language dubbing) on the mega hit TV series Babylon Berlin and shooting a sitcom pilot! How fun is that?!

i am so thankful i found hunter! as a beginning actor, it has been hard to find the guidance and knowledge of the business aspect of the industry and how and where to best market yourself. hunter's mastery of this information has already answered so many of my questions that i've been desperately searching for. she is the sweetest and has already boosted my confidence and hopes of propelling my career forward.



Working with Hunter has helped my business almost overnight. Her marketing expertise has launched my business in a whole new direction, one that feels not only right, but exhilarating. I trust Hunter’s suggestions because the results were apparent right away. Working with an experienced been-there-done-that mentor is what I needed to take my business to the next level. I look forward to continuing the work we are doing together and watching my business expand.

I learned so much about myself and how to build off of my foundation with Hunter! She helped me improve my technique, as well as teach me about what to expect going into this career.
You won't go wrong with learning from her!

Thank you Hunter for holding the lesson today. You're a great dialect coach. Looking forward to attending the next lesson !


Just had my first lesson with Hunter and I really enjoyed it. Although I was nervous trying out acting for the first time, she made me feel comfortable. We did some script reading and warming up word exercises that helped. I look forward to my next lesson with her.

Hunter is the best! She’s so meticulous. She catches every little nuance in your voice and has a really good ear for languages. She’s always patient and supportive but also honest with you about where the problems are and what needs work. I always feel comfortable and she gives me great solutions and exercises. Have been doing lessons for a few months now and really love it! Trust me you won’t regret it!

Always great to work with Hunter! She really is a fantastic coach. Has a lot of good insight about the biz and really patient. Makes you feel comfortable every time.

Great coach! knows a lot about the biz. Really helpful with character and scene tips. Jumps in and get's the work done fast.

Wow! Hunter really knows her stuff! She know the business inside and out and has a lot of great tips on how to find a character fast! Very insightful coach and easy going. Really make you feel comfortable.

She is so great that she understands your problems and find ways to solve them in the manner you really felt comfortable.

Hunter is such a great teacher! She is so patient, provides a lot of information and really wants you to succeed. She's fun and always supportive. The sessions are always informative and there is progress everytime. Looking forward to getting a new career off the ground!

I love working with Hunter! She is amazing. I started taking her class for my accent reduction and it not only improved my pronunciation but also my overall understanding of English language. Hunter is exceptionally good at creating an individualized learning plan. Her class is never boring, alway appropriately challenging and stimulating. She is very personable and pleasant to to work with. I am always looking forward to my next class with her!

I took this class to help me professionally with presentation. It was a lot of fun and a lot of brain training. Looking forward to my next session. Hunter is very sweet and professional. I really enjoy her easy going style.


Very patient with me (total noob) and always had good ideas on how to advance through the session. Hunter was always on time and prepared to lead. Great personality and every session was very fun. I was intimidated initially, but Hunter made the whole experience very enjoyable.

Hunter is fantastic! Have been working with her on and off for the last couple of years now. She's really helped my career and helped me stay focused and positive, especially now! Great coach and knows a lot about the business. Trust me you'll love her!

Hunter is ALWAYS fabulous!!! I always feel so much more grounded in a scene after working with her. My go-to audition coach every time!

Only had a couple of sessions but great so far. Hunter is really fast and sessions are fun! Great to study with a coach that has actually done live improv. Just trying to get my skills up to go out and try it with a group.

only one word, good!

Oh my gosh! I am so in love with Hunter I would recommend her to everyone! I’m just trying to get into voiceovers and she has been so helpful and encouraging. She’s also really honest in helping you find your strengths and your weaknesses but is totally easy going about it, never pushy, just really wants you to succeed. I’m working on my skills a lot but also where is going to be the best place for me to find work. Super excited to keep going with this and maybe even a new career!

The first class was first-class. Great!

Great teacher for this! Excellent organization and is very clear. Has things well laid out and can really pick up the small problems with your accent and help you to change it quickly. Have recommended a couple of friends who really like her as well and having good success!

Great working with Hunter. Very easy to work with. She gave me great tips for my self-tape audition.

Fantastic!! Hired Hunter to help me with audition prep and a self-tape for casting. Really wishing now that I had booked more sessions to use in the future. She was super quick to respond and even helped me with my self tape setup. We recorded the audition right in the session! Gave me some great tips to improve my scene.

Hunter was great - good notes, good direction. Thank you!

OMG! The clarity! I wish I had met this woman years ago - would have saved me so much time and money! She is a wealth of information about the business and really cares about helping you succeed. Great advice great person!

Very fun and very helpful.

Hunter is wonderful! Incredibly kind and a very smart actor. She has great ideas about shaping the scene, and always helps me get a better grasp on the story. Love working with her!

Hunter is incredibly organized and she has an excellent understanding of what your strengths and weaknesses are and how to really efficiently focus the lessons. She works with you on the areas that need improvement the most and then incorporates additional skills. She is a very patient and thorough coach and I’m already noticing results after just a few lessons. I very much enjoy our sessions and would highly recommend her services.

She is a lovely person with a kind and generous spirit. She worked with me and gave me the perfect note to let the audition soar!

I have been taking classes with Hunter for a few months now and absolutely incredible! Yes the work is hard, but she is so fun to work with. (you can tell she does stand-up comedy! Has me cracking up every session!) Hunter makes you feel completely comfortable but knows how to get serious and touch and get stuff done. I’m really starting to notice a difference in the way I talk and the way I sound. She gives you very simple, very effective exercises for practice in between sessions an good memory hooks. Very organized and an excellent understanding of the work and accents in general. Fantastic teacher. I’m sure you’ll love her.

I’m so glad Hunter is still working through this! Writing this as we are all in quarantine / lockdown re: covid-19. This really has been the perfect time to do online lessons. Hunter is so positive and cheerful and, in addition to being an excellent teacher, she really brightens my mood! It’s so nice to have the break during the day or week just to see someone else’s face AND we’re actually getting a LOT done. She is so meticulous and organized in her lesson planning and always gives me the perfect practice work / homework for between lessons. I’m originally from Russia and have been here 10 years but still have a heavy accent so time to get rid of it - and we’re making progress already! It’s only been a couple of months, and people can already hear a difference. So glad I decided to do this and so glad I found Hunter. You really should give her a try!

Very precise attention to detail. Goal-oriented and motivated. Positive and encouraging. What else can I say? Everything you hope for in a teacher. Couldn’t be happier with my lesson!

Hunter is an incredible teacher! She is so fun and down-to-earth and encouraging. It really makes the learning process easier and I always look forward to our sessions because I know I'm going to learn a lot and it’s going to be enjoyable. She has a lot of knowledge about accents and dialects and different cultures and can pick out what your specific issues are fast! So glad I chose her as my coach!

Hunter is a great teacher! It's difficult to break out of your pronunciation habits, but she is tailoring my program to the specific sounds and words I'm having most trouble with.

Hunter offers just the right mix of vocal technique, practice and useful conversational tool. You can immediately see that she is highly skilled and trained and really has a passion for the work. She is very detail-oriented and lessons are well prepared and well planned with full worksheets and homework.
I work in a high profile position and have to give speeches and presentations often and am very conscious of my accent so I’m looking forward to having more control over that. I really enjoy Hunter’s insights and overall approach to teaching. Highly recommend as an Accent Reduction teacher.

I'm having such a fantastic time working with Hunter!! She is a wealth of information, has fun and challenging lessons and practical suggestions. I really love her honesty and sense of humor, both things that are so important to me. I’m already a couple of months in and my energy and excitement haven’t faded since I began. Every lesson leaves me with wanting to learn more. Here's to many more fantastic lessons!! Thank You Hunter!

Hunter was the perfect coach to have! She was so friendly, patient and quick to absorb the sides. I was actually surprised at how fast she understood the nuances of the script. She gave insight on the scene and characters that I didn't catch which helps a lot. I will absolutely book her again! Thanks so much Hunter!

Hunter was recommended to me by a colleague of mine. I’m so glad I took the advice!After an hour not only had she identified my key trouble spots, but gave me specific exercises to practice for faster improvement. She explained to me how my accent was learned and the easiest way to change it. I know it’s going to take some time and practice, but I”m really looking forward to the next session!

Hunter is SO helpful, encouraging and fun to work with. Always makes me feel so much more grounded in the scene! Love working with her. You can't do better!

Just had a great first lesson! We worked on specific sounds I'm having trouble with and I got some homework to keep practicing. Very excited to continue!

LOVE LOVE LOVE HUNTER!! She won't let you get away with missing anything in the script! Also, booked my first on-camera gig a couple days ago thanks to her amazing help! Working with her is my new favourite thing!

I'm so excited that I finally got a chance to rehearse with Hunter! And she was absolutely AMAZING! Completely opened me up to the vulnerability in the scene. Can't wait to work with her again in the future!

Hunter shared masterful insights and asked intriguing questions that set me up for a one-of-a-kind self-tape, all while being gentle and supportive. Will definitely book again!

What can I say? Hunter is the best! It’s true what the other reviews say - she is patient and friendly and made me feel completely comfortable from the very first lesson. I started taking accent reduction lessons because I am required to do a lot of presentations related to my job, and people were having difficulty understanding me. I speak 3 languages but English is not my first and this was becoming a problem. Hunter has this down to a science and knows exactly what problems you’re going to encounter even before you get there. Lessons are set with exercises and drills, but she is also very good at incorporating “real world” materials that related specifically to my profession. This alone was extremely helpful. I reached my goals in half the time I thought it would take - I am just so grateful and impressed. No more embarrassing or frustrating presentations, and people have even stopped asking me “so where are you from?”! I can't recommend Hunter enough for anyone who wants to improve the way they communicate with the world.

A great first lesson - looking forward to the next one!

I’m so happy to have discovered Hunter. I was struggling so much when I first reached out to her, but very hesitant about talking to someone about my problems because I am so private and felt a little embarrassed that I couldn’t figure this out by myself, but she made it so easy. Hunter is really positive and intuitive and knows just the right questions to ask but without asking too much. She helped me get to the core of the issue and got to what I needed without ever feeling uncomfortable. Now, we’ve talked so much, it’s almost like talking to a close friend, but with no judgement and actually getting useful answers.
I started out just doing a few sessions because I was so nervous and wasn’t sure if this was going to work, but seriously, I’d say book 10 - you won’t regret it! We kept finding new levels and I almost can’t believe how much better I feel and how much my life has changed. I definitely recommend Hunter. She will help you change your life!

Hunter is such a fun, knowledgeable and supportive, coach! I read some other reviews before hiring her, saying that she really cares about you getting the part, and it’s so true! She has lots of valuable insights for uncovering your character and great technical advice for shooting. I book all of my self-tapes with her - we coach first and then she reads with me and is my scene partner while we record. I have booked 2 guest stars in the last 3 months since I started working with her. Highly recommend!

Very good and detail oriented teacher. She can pick up the slightest little mistakes in the way you pronounce things and the way you speak and tell you how to correct them on the spot. Now I know how to move my mouth differently to make different sounds for the same word. Have been doing session twice a week for 4 months and my accent is completely gone! I thought it was going to take years. So happy and glad I met Hunter! Easy to work with and very encouraging.

Hunter is a great teacher. She is really good at catching even barely noticeable pronunciation issues. She gives clear instructions on how to fix them. She is very knowledgeable about other countries and cultures which makes it easy for her to understand one’s accent. Thanks to her acting experience, she knows a lot of drills for relaxing the jaw and making your voice sounds more clear and crisp. It’s a pleasure working with Hunter and I am looking forward to continuing our sessions. I would definitely recommend Hunter to anyone who wants to improve their American English pronunciation.

Great teacher and acting coach! She knows her stuff and has clearly been in the business a long time with a lot of experience. Really wants you to be the best and to work and book jobs. Patient and supportive but still pushes. Fun to work with too - has a great sense of humor. Highly recommend.

I’m very happy that I found Hunter. She’s a great teacher and a lovely person. I enjoy my classes. She is very patient and I can see she cares about her students making progress.

Hunter has really helped me a lot! In only a few months I have almost no accent left. I came to the US for work about 5 years ago but English was not my first language. I am very educated and read and write it well, but people did not always understand me easily when I spoke due to my accent. I was also not as confident in making business presentations to my colleagues who are native English speakers. Now, I have almost no accent at all when speaking English! Finally, no more of people asking me "where are you from?" I'm really happy for Hunter's help. She is so friendly and easy to talk to and makes the lessons fun to do! I would highly recommend her coaching if you want to lose your accent and speak perfect American English.

Hunter is clearly an experienced actor, knows how actors work best and how to get actors to bring out their very best work. She gives you just the right mix of adjustments and encouragement to really find the character for yourself and make it your own. She is always willing to go the extra mile and makes sure that you really “get” the scene. I feel so grounded and 100% prepped after every coaching session with her. I am a much better actor today because of the work we have done. #sograteful! She really is the best!

Hunter was wonderful! Incredibly kind and a very smart actor. She had great ideas about shaping the scene, and helped me get a better grasp on the story.

Simply one of the best coaches in Los Angeles! (really) This woman is a genius! I just started working with Hunter this year and she always brings my auditions to life. My booking rate has gone up and so has my confidence. She is so fun and supportive and really keeps me motivated and inspired to do even better work. She’s really knowledgeable about the business too. Love this lady and hope to keep working with her for years to come!

Hunter is an amazing teacher! She is so much fun to work with and always positive and encouraging, but she also really cuts to the chase. You absolutely get results fast! You can tell she has years of experience and really loves acting. Love working with her. She is my go to “acting guru” :)

I recommend Hunter to all who want to get rid of their foreign accents and sound more american. When I started this process, I thought I was a lost cause. Now, with Hunter's coaching, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I had been in the US for two decades without much improvement in my accent, and in just 6 sessions with her I started seeing a positive difference. If you tried and failed to improve your accent in the past, try a few sessions with Hunter. She has the knowledge, the experience, and the compassion to succeed where other coaches have failed. Changing how you speak can be very daunting and frustrating but, if you trust her system, you can do it. Give yourself 10 lesson/hour with Hunter and you'll most definitely see a big change. Cheers.

This woman is AMAZING!! So upbeat and positive and professional! Totally knowledgeable about the craft and doesn't let you off the hook - really works you. SO much fun to work with her! Will be coming back for sure

BOOKED IT!! Again! Have only worked with Hunter a few times for audition prep but have booked 2 out of 3 auditions! She's always got great ideas on how to find the character and approach the scene. Will definitely be back!

Hunter is so down to earth! She is generous and kind and somehow manages to keep things light and fun while really lasering in on the work at hand. she is truly and “actors’ actor” - really wants you to succeed!! And I like that she is an actual working actor not just teaching. She really gets it which I feel is a huge plus in learning what it really takes to be good at what you do and succeed in this crazy business. So grateful to have found her! :)

Hunter you’re fantastic! Great personality, informative and business savvy. You put a person at ease and comfortable. Thank you!

Hunter is a terrific coach and voice director, with both a great ear and a good knowledge of the business. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Words can’t describe the excellent voice over coaching that I have received from Hunter. During every consultation, I’ve learned through her realistic approach how to unblock the mental barriers of discovering my true authentic voice. When I met Hunter, I had lots of doubts and fears of becoming a professional Voice Over talent. Now I am booking and receiving amazing responses from clients. Thank you Hunter!

After my first 30 minutes into my Discovery call with Hunter I knew she was a match for me. She just got it! She understands the dynamics of cutting through B.S. that doesn't matter in order to get you to stay focused and on track towards goals that DO matter! After explaining to her a lot of my roadblocks and huge gigantic goals/dreams she immediately embraced even some of the not so fun experiences I shared and encouraged me to see them all as part of my journey. I highly encourage working with Hunter because what I think has helped her and her clients reach their own success is that she is a coach that works with you where you are no judgements or blaming. She can see your potential in you inspiring you even closer to your dreams. I feel more confident than ever that I will be able to achieve some really lofty goals through working with her and I can't wait to get even further into our coaching sessions!

In one coaching session Hunter completely changed the way I thought about my business, for the better! As a coach, Hunter is clear, concise and highly intuitive. Her aim is true and exacting. Hunter made me feel supported and confident, after our session I was ready to take immediate action after a lifetime of doubting myself and procrastination. I felt strong and motivated to grow my business. She had an uncanny knack of knowing exactly what to say to abate my fears and trepidation's. Investing in coaching with Hunter is a true investment in YOURSELF. If you're tired of wallowing, take this step into solutions, you won't regret it! You will learn more in one session than in five years of therapy.

“Working one-to-one with Hunter was a liberating experience! She was insightful, knowledgeable, perceptive, and really stretched me past what I had thought I was capable of, all while keeping the work fun and inspiring. Hunter provides a fearless, creative, supportive and adventurous environment to grow your talent in. I highly recommend working with her.”

Oh the clarity! Hunter is a gifted coach. Her insight, techniques and ease is incredible. Upon leaving my session I cracked open all the tools I feel I need to make my dreams come true, and my life a success. I highly recommend this service to anyone who is looking to further and brighten their life. Thank you Hunter!!
