Ciarlene Coleman

***ACTOR/AUDITION & VOICE COACH***

Hey there!~ My name's Ciarlene (shar-LEEN), she/they, and I'm a professional actor based in San Diego, CA, USA. I got my start in voice and formal music training, but I eventually transitioned back to my original passion--performance. I am an Equity theatre actor and have representation both in San Diego and Los Angeles and have experience doing everything from musical theatre live hosting to high profile industrial and corporate spots.

I also teach all ages acting and music, including audition technique and improv :) I'm experienced and ready to help you achieve your best, at whatever pace you need. I can do everything from baby steps to same day self-tapes.

TRAINING: I hold a BA in Music from UC San Diego, and I have completed 2 years of practicing the Meisner technique taught by direct students of Bill Esper and Maggie Flannagan. In Fall of 2022, I will be beginning my MFA in Acting program in London, UK, studying classical English theatre and contemporary acting work abroad.
