Barbara Hastings

Hey there! I'm an acting coach/dialect coach actor/singer/VO artist with 30+ years' experience in the US, UK and Australia. I've coached on shows such as Young Rock, Joe vs. Carol and Apples Never Fall. With over 800 hours of coaching both privately and in groups, I'm well-equipped to help you reach your goals. Whether it's prepping, reading acting or dialect coaching, I'm at your service.

A little more about me:
Born and raised in Santa Barbara, CA, and now based in Sydney, Australia.
I've got a BA in Theater Arts, and an MFA in Acting/Directing, University of Arizona, Tucson. I was a GTA at U of A for 2.5 years before moving to London, where I did lots of musical theatre and had my own cabaret act. I was a professional VO artist in London as well. Since moving to Australia, I've mainly worked in the film and TV industry here. My coaching services are in demand here on a regular basis.
