I believe in releasing your CREATIVE INDIVIDUALITY, having FUN, surrendering to acting as a FULL BODY EXPERIENCE even if they're only looking for "head & shoulder" framing. I'm compassionate, extremely perceptive, and will always challenge you to move out of your comfort zone. In addition, I've worked 18 weeks with Brittani Ward, a freelance casting director in Chicago, and taken multiple classes with on-camera king, Bob Krakower. 📚BFA & MFA JOURNEY📚 I PROVIDE… - completely personalized curriculum based off you and the level you are working at - application strategies regarding your overall presentation, your statement, and your monologue selection - a regular, flexible training schedule that works for you and keeps you accountable This process is about you learning to work towards performing at a high level. Coaching only when you have an audition the next day is not the same as coaching regularly to keep developing your craft so that when opportunities come, you feel confident and ready. The power of developing a relationship with a mentor in the arts, especially if you are not already immersed in a school program, can be utterly transformational & life-changing. I know it has been for me and my clients. ABOUT ME… Hi!
