Listening forms the cornerstone of my coaching philosophy. Through attentive guidance, I aim to help you unearth the depths of your own identity within the character you portray.

MY COACHING METHOD

Focus

It all starts with learning to understand and embody the story you are asked to tell. With curiosity, you will learn how to decode a scene's essence so that you can be more authentic and free in the moment.
REFLECT

Next, we’ll reflect on how you relate to the character’s situation and circumstances to find empathy and your personal connection to the material that engages you and the audience.
Refine

We learn how to refine what we’ve discovered by exploring the text with specialized acting exercises designed to help you find the freedom to deliver a memorable performance that is uniquely you.
