Private 1-on-1 sessions
Acting Lessons
Coaching isn’t about directing your performance. It’s to help you discover your process.
Together, we find your truth.
We decide which parts of you to turn up and which to turn down, allowing you to authentically find yourself within the character.

The Hour
What A Lesson Actually Looks Like
It’s an hour, one-on-one. A completely private acting lesson. No one else in the room. Nothing to hide and nothing to prove.
We usually spend the first few minutes talking. What are you working on? What’s happening in your life? Is there something you want to talk through? Every lesson is different because every actor walking through the door is different.
If you come in with a scene prepared, we film it. Then we start looking for your thumbprint. What makes this scene yours? Not just what makes it good or technically correct, but what makes it something only you could do.
The principle is simple: You don’t become the character. The character becomes you.
We’ll pull from different methods and techniques when they serve us, but I always remind actors of one thing: every acting technique and every book on acting was written after someone acted, not before. They’re tools. They’re not a necessity.
The work always comes back to the simple specifics of you. Finding what is already there and learning how to use it.

Acting Lessons
We work together, one on one. Maybe it’s an audition you’re prepping, a role you’ve already booked, or the first time you’ve stepped in front of a camera. Every session is built around you, where you are, and what you need. In person in North Hollywood or online.
- Ongoing work, with no audition attached.
The most useful and often the least common. Without the pressure of a deadline, we give ourselves permission to explore, take risks, and discover what truly works. Actors come in every week or two and simply grow. If it were me, this is the work I’d choose.
- A script that’s gone dead.
You’ve read it forty times and feel like there’s nothing left to find. We’ll discover something new, whether it’s hidden in the text or unlocked through your process.
- On-camera work.
- Cold reading.
Getting handed something and finding your way iimmediately. My approach relies heavily on connection, trusting your instincts, staying present, and responding truthfully. We focus on getting the words up off the page, allowing a moment for connection, and letting the work happen from there.
- Something you already booked.
You’ve got the job, and now you have to do it. We’ll prep the role scene by scene, so you walk onto set confident, prepared, and ready for anything that might be thrown your way.
- Getting back into it.
You stopped for five years, or ten, and you’re wondering if it’s still in there. It usually is. Sometimes acting is simply a way to rediscover a part of yourself you’ve forgotten.
