Whether you're looking for someone who can give you honest feedback or you just need a person to drill the lines with, I'm the reader for you. After years of working and studying in classes specializing in audition preparations, I want to share what I've learned and help you feel comfortable and confident with your materials. Let's help you book that room!
Flexible read: emotionally-invested scene partner, neutral reader, or flat reader you might encounter when you're in the room with casting - we can help you get used to that so you don't get tripped when you're auditioning!
• native Mandarin speaker / Taiwanese
• UT Austin Acting MFA w/ teaching experience
• Recent credits include shows on CBS, ABC, Netflix and more
**A kind reminder to my fellow actors: I can 100% relate and understand that sometimes the material can be tricky to memorize, but the more you're able to be off-book, the longer time we can take to explore the sides and really get into the nuances of the character/scene, especially when you're submitting a self-tape. May the Muse of Verbatim be always on your side.
