Small Group Private Coaching.

$100.00

Acting is a community discipline. We need an audience to help us know if we are telling a story that is truthful and impactful. In between audiences, and most often in preparation for an audience, actors seek the guidance of a private acting coach to help refine a character, become aware of  and break habits, overcome a performance obstacle, dig deeper emotionally, connect to a scene or character and prepare for a role or audition.  

Student artists are invited to select a published monologue, song or audition piece that will be viewed, worked on and evaluated during live class time in a micro -group setting. Following our original coaching curriculum, students will learn to apply techniques associated with Voice and Speech, Understanding Material, Movement, Characterization and more. Students will be challenged to perform their material live and conduct a self evaluation.  Our most popular class meets afternoons 1x a week for 4 weeks.   You will be directed to Outschool.com to register and enroll as my invited guests.

Week 2: Students carry their understanding into week 2 where they are given professional coaching on sourced monologues and songs for performance.

Students will walk away from this intensive equipped with real world knowledge to match their expressed passion for the art. Intensives are held once a month. Save 50.00 when you enroll as a group. Contact us to get started.
