How to speak clearly with good vocal technique to keep the speaking voice long lasting and healthy

My goal is to help students who are looking to inspire a love for dance, grow in their technique, and seek one-on-one attention in their craft.

For the beginning student, I love to be abel to help them explore what dance means to them, figure out practical steps, and engage with expression through their body movement. For the advanced dancer, I focus more on improving technique and seeing their overall expression as a dancer cross the line from amateur to pre-professional.

My hope is to always hear the goals students have, partner with them in their journey, and create an environment that is both fun and inspiring for the future.

I have a passion for theatre & hopefully you do too! I will help my students become strong in improv, monologue & scene work. A packet will be given each week on things to work on & improve along with an assignment. I will require my students to learn a monologue a week excluding other assignments I give because building your repertoire is crucial in this career. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

My goal is to provide children with a creative and fun outlet to express themselves. I create an environment that encourages self-expression without judgment. I encourage children to say yes, to listen and focus, and to shine their inner light! I share the fun and delight of improvisation using games, crafts, and music.
I also help teens and actors of all levels. My Improv for Actors provides insights into thinking and reacting with fluidity, exploring a character’s social status, using the voice and body as effective tools of storytelling, and more. Actors of all levels will soon be able to give a fresh, original approach to classic characters, create funnier performances in farce and comedy, and make dramatic characters richer and more believable. I approach improvisation as a tool for developing acting technique My lessons are applicable to contemporary and classic material and to both comedy and drama.
