Life Coaching

Design the life you deeply want and take actions toward your goals.

 

Would you like to create a space in your life where you can dream of what you want and who you want to become? A place where you can create a plan of action for which you have an accountability partner along the way? Would you want to stop hoping and start doing?

 

As your personal coach, I will help you identify your strengths that you harness to accomplish your goals. I will help you identify the limiting voices that hold you back from becoming all that you want to become.

 

Whether you want to book a major role on stage or TV, become a better partner to your loved one, find more peace, change careers, become better at sex, become more confident, or whatever you want to achieve in your life, a coach can help you on your way.

 

 

 

Voice Lessons

Sing better and with more confidence.
 

In many creative discplines, the concept of "neutral" is the base from which all learning occurs. In your lessons, we will explore singing in a step-by-step manner, checking in with the body's concept of "neutral" as it relates to singing. In your lessons, you will develop and maintain a sense of breath capacity, breath connectivity, resonance, relaxation of the tongue, vocal dexterity, pitch, openness, and more. I will work with you to promote a healthy technique, maximize your natural range, and get the most out of your instrument.

 

 

Audition Coaching

Professionals show up having done their work. I will help. 

 

Too many times actors get the opportunity or callback and they show up unprepared. Many talented actors don't land jobs because talent alone isn't good enough. You must be ready to land the role. 

 

I will help you prepare your sides, monologues, and songs so that you walk into the audition room a step ahead of other actors. I will make sure you're not walking into the audition room performing material you've only gone over in your head or read out loud once to nobody in particular. I will coach you to make the material more personal, rich and detailed, and impactful. I want you to book the job and will use all of my experience and talent to help evolve your work.

 

 

 

Musical Theater Coaching

Set yourself apart from the competition with acting through song.
 

Standing outside of an audition room, it's easy to be intimidated. Dozens and dozens of beautiful voices ring out from within. Yet, many of those voices will never be in consideration for booking a role because for those watching the performance, they are bored to tears. 

Learning to act through a song is the trait of the professional musical theater actor. It is the component of your audition that is more important than your actual voice. You must be able to tell a story through your performance. Learn to do this and you'll set yourself apart from most actors that you think are nailing.

 

 

 

Acting Coaching

Become a natural and expert actor for stage and/or on-camera.

 

I believe that every acting discpline has something to offer. That is why I've spent my life studying different approaches and techniques for acting. I've studied technique rooted in Stanislavski and Shurtleff. I've studied improvisation at some of the best schools in New York and Chicago and with some of the most reputable teachers. I've studied on-camera acting with the most sought-after teachers in New York, including Roz Coleman, Bob Krakower, and T.J. Mannix. I have studied musical theater with more than a handful of the best in the industry. 

 

All the while, I absorbed knowledge that I applied to my own acting. I am constantly lauded for my honesty and naturalness in my craft. I believe this is coachable and I want to help you become a better, more thoughtful actors. Our craft must be conditioned regularly otherwise we lose our fitness. Talent can become dusty and unpolished if left unused and unobserved. I will help you stay fit.

 

 

 

Mentoring for Actors

Long-term support, wisdom, and encouragement for a sweeter life.

 

Much like coaching, I faciliate discovery and learning and make you face difficult questions that encourage lasting change. 

 

Mentoring differs in that the connection is a long-term commitment founded upon targeted lessons that I present to you based on my own wisdom and experience. We tackle everything from gratitude to networking. We explore what it means to be an excellent employee, cast member, lover, friend, sibling, or son. Over a commitment of a minimum of three-months, I act as your champion, helping you move towards goals and presenting lessons and wisdom that philosophers and poets have worked on for thousands of years.

 

Mentoring is designed to make you a better, more loving, and more happy person and to encourage you to make a difference in the world. I work to help you manage your emotions and understand how to influence others. I will provide for you a meaningful support system from a role as more of a father figure. You are more of an apprentice who will be open to learning and to, hopefully, become a Master yourself and evolve the learning even further. 

 

This option is also great for actors wishing to return to the industry, just beginning on their journey, or entering a hard time and want support to persevere.

 

 

 

One-on-One Tutoring

For those wishing to learn photography or American Sign Language.

 

I am a patient and gifted tutor who uses multiple techniques to achieve learning and discovery in my clients. I sometimes approach the topics visually, philosophically, practically, emotionally, viscerally, or using closure. I want you to learn but also to develop a passion for the topics.
