Acting Coach
As a former actress, a film and theater director and as someone who has watched hundreds of auditions I am uniquely qualified to coach actors to win parts from casting directors.


Acting Class
I teach actors how to risk, how to rise above the crowd and how to make exciting choices. Learning a perfect audition technique improves all your acting skills.
