    Acting for BEGINNERS!

    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!

    About Misti S.

    4.6
    (9)
    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!
