Introduction
I'm Katie - a working professional actor, vocalist and teaching artist based in New York City with more than twenty years of experience onstage and off. I have a BFA in Musical Theatre from Syracuse University, have trained at Shakespeare's Globe and Shakespeare & Company, and continue to study voice (classical technique foundation) with Ruth Hennessy and the realistic school of acting with John Strasberg. As performers, our greatest gift to give an audience is our Selves. We are each a unique portal, with our personal life experiences and perspectives that no one else has. Through voice, speech & acting training, I help students connect more fully with their own innate sense of truth - what they already know about Life, what they really think and feel - in order to share that more fully with others. When we open to this personal sense of truth and infuse it into our work, it becomes the dynamic, exciting stuff of the greatest performances. If you... Are looking for more freedom and ease in your singing or speech Want to fully immerse in the material you perform Grapple with performance anxiety or stage fright Feel tense or "locked up" when you speak or sing Just know you have something deeper to express Let's explore working together. *** "Find Your Light" is something actors might hear when we step onstage during technical rehearsals just before a show opens. On the set for the first time, we get used to the feeling of the light on our face that lets us know we're in the sweet spot of being fully seen. To me, Find Your Light Studio is about connecting with our inner light, the little flame inside each of us that never goes out and never guides us astray, the place where our best performances are born.

Katie is an amazing teacher that really works at fine-tuning your skills! She provided me with some exercises to work with on my own and I feel like they've helped me perfect my technique--not only with how my voice sounds, but other parts of my body and mental psyche that also factor into how I perform. She's been great to work with!

Working with Katie is an extremely enriching experience and I am enjoying it very much. She is knowledgeable, reflective, open to the needs of an unorthodox Shakespeare lover like me, willing to share. She is attentive, creative, a great coach/teacher/listener/guide!
