Introduction

As a Golden Globe nominee and a SAG-AFTRA actress for over 30 years, I love teaching and want to help other actors get roles. I have taught children, teens, and adults who are primarily beginners and intermediates. My goal is to help students be more confident with better acting techniques and learn skills that professional actors use. At 20 years old I went under contract to Universal Studios in LA and had the opportunity of working in many TV Shows and a running role in the TV series San Francisco International Airport, among others. You can check my movies and TV shows on IMDB. In NY I studied at AMDA and HB Studios. My students have done national commercials, running roles on TV shows, movies, theater and one tv reporter. I'm interested in serious inquiries only.

Barbara helped me with commercial auditions scenes. We started with acting fundamentals and went from there. Improv too! I learned so much from her.
