WHY I COACH — In my fifteen years of being a professional actor and theater director, I know first hand how stressful audition preparation can be. As a perfectionist, I would whip myself into a frenzy chasing the elusive “perfect” audition. What I have experienced from my time as a director behind the audition table is that perfect doesn’t get the job. What stands out in the audition room are passionate, honest, surprising, joyful performances! My focus as an audition coach is to diffuse the audition stress with technique, preparation, and PLAY!! I love helping my students get out of their heads and into their hearts, enjoying the freedom of living spontaneously in the moment while delivering a dynamic, polished audition.
