Introduction: Hi there! My name is Orion Bradshaw. I am a licensed teacher, and a professional performer/ storyteller - based in Portland, OR - who works very hard to aid my students in attaining their performance, speaking & presentation goals. Through the principles of Theatrical performance, holistic storytelling & culturally-responsive pedagogy, I help my students set & build actionable objectives, and explore the Tactics/ verbs that will get them there. I listen deeply to my students & ask them critical questions throughout our lessons, helping them build autonomy within & ownership of the processes we delve into. I am Classically-trained, have 14+ years of experience as a Teaching Artist, Performance Teacher, Acting Coach & Storyteller, and I feel my résumés speak for themselves. I am willing to be flexible with session length, scheduling & price. I sincerely look forward to collaborating with you on your storyteller journey! Let’s build up your confidence & presence. Let’s chase some goals. Let's get you there. Thank you for your time & consideration. May the Learning never cease! ~OB.

Orion is teaching me everything I need to know about how to read a script, how to audition, how to warmup vocally, and how to act! He is also teaching me how to tell stories well, so I can create valuable and effective content my audience will want to keep watching. I recommend working with Orion! He is nice, creative, fun, and helps you feel comfortable!

I read " the classics " out loud a lot in my career, and found myself struggling. I wanted my listeners to hear the very best I could provide for them. I can't begin to tell you how awesome Orion is! We had an informative conversation about what I was trying to achieve, and Orion's professionalism, demeanor and techniques instantly put me at ease. I had no idea reading out loud could be so rewarding and fun when done correctly. Over the months my listeners have heard my inflections and confidence grow. Thank you Orion. You're the best and I highly recommend you to anyone: middle-aged like myself, older or younger who wants to properly read out loud.
