WHY HIRE A PRIVATE COACH?
"IN LIFE, YOU DON'T GET A SECOND CHANCE TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION.
A human being can express only those skills they hold in actual possession.
A focused private coach helps accelerate the possession of vital techniques necessary for individual expression.

I WANT TO HELP YOU BECOME A SELF DIRECTED AND ADAPTABLE ARTIST UPON WHOM THE INDUSTRY CAN RELY.
LETS PRACTICE ON CAMERA THE REAL LIFE PROCESS THAT WILL HELP YOU ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS.
- From the moment you walk in the door, be in it to win it or don't bother to show up.
- So we practice the process; we record the process and stay 100% present throughout the process.
- Then, together, you and I watch the replay and evaluate your performance.
- Later, after you step away from your work, you watch it again.
PRACTICING RE-TAKES OR 'REDIRECTIONS'
I WILL COACH YOU DURING OUR SESSIONS WITH THE GOAL OF BECOMING AN ACTOR CONFIDENT IN THEIR ABILITY TO BE FOCUSED AND SKILLED WHEN RE-DIRECTED.
TO MAKE DIFFERENT CHOICES TAKES PRACTICE AND BUILDS YOUR CONFIDENCE IN YOUR INTUITIVE ABILITIES. INDUSTRY PROS REALLY LIKE THAT!
LET’S DEVELOP YOUR SYSTEM TO GROW YOUR TOOLS AS AN ARTIST.

LEARN SOLID APPROACHES TO APPLY YOUR AUDITIONS:- SLATING TECHNIQUES & INTERVIEWING because 60% of 1st callbacks result from simply how you enter the room and say 'Hello'.
- COLD READING - & LISTENING
- They must be practiced together because 60% of 2nd callbacks are judged by those with skilled cold reading technique and acting choices you make.
- REACTIONS ON CAMERA
because they are as important as spoken dialogue. - BASIC CAMERA TERMINOLOGY
What is my frame?...Where is my look? - ON-SET BEHAVIOR - Be a pro with a focused ATTITUDE
- DOs & DON'TS
- REHEARSING
- MEMORIZATION METHODS TECHNIQUES OF cold reading and listening!
- Making intuitive acting choices,
