Acting is a vulnerable craft; we will start where you are most comfortable.  Bring your own material, or request a recommendation from my vast pool of monologue and sides options.  I work extensively to combat performance anxiety by focusing on the text - what story are you telling as this character?  I will also work with you on voice, breathe, and body control through techniques inspired by the Suzuki and Viewpoints methods.  Acting is about the whole body - even if it is a close up shot!

Having completed my MFA in Acting from UCLA this past June, I am highly dedicated to the craft of acting both for the stage and for the camera.  I recently wrapped my first big project with Francis Ford Coppola, and I'm eager to share what I've learned.  I also hold a Bachelor of Music in Classical Voice from Boston University, so I am open to lessons that involve both singing and acting.  I was born in Burbank and raised in Sherman Oaks, so not only do I know my way around town, but I know how to manage the traffic to get to your home on time.  Looking forward to meeting you!

Lea is a fantastic coach, it's hard to find someone with the right mix of formal training and real world experience, but she has it. Even after just a couple of sessions my confidence is through the roof and I feel ready to walk into that next audition. Thanks Lea!
