I'M A STARVING ACTOR!!! WILL READ FOR FOOD!!!

Meisner actor/coach from UCLA and Baron Brown Studio.

I'm a professional SAG/AFTRA actor with over 12 years of experience. It would be my pleasure to help you with your audition or anything else acting related. I can be your acting coach and guide you or I can simply be your scene partner and read as many times as you'd like. Either way, I want to help elevate you to reach your greatest potential!

This is your session, so you are the boss!

As an acting coach, I have helped many actors book numerous roles on television and film with major networks and major studios. Our sessions can go for as long as you deem necessary. I’ll always make sure that you are happy with your session.

I work with actors at all levels of experience. Beginners and professionals alike. I can provide help with any of the following:
- Film, television, commercial, voiceover, and stage
- Auditions (Self-tape and preparation for in-person)
- Scene study and analysis
- Being your scene partner
- Rehearsing
- Running lines
- Character development
- Improvisation
- Defining and understanding objectives and motivations
- Acting theory
- Anything and everything else you see fit!

I am a Meisner trained actor having studied at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Theater, Film, and Television (UCLA TFT) as well as at Baron Brown Studio. I also have professional training in Stanislavsky, Strasberg, Adler, and Hagen. It all comes down to what works best for you and ultimately developing your own process. I have trained under the tutelage of some of the most respectable acting teachers such as Joanne Baron, D.W. Brown, Alicia Coppola, Taylor Nichols, Katie Amanda Keane, Megan McNulty, Michael Kostroff, and Emily Swallow, just to name a few.

I'm a proud SAG/AFTRA actor and I have been actively involved in this industry for over a decade and still going strong! My experience has come from doing numerous independent projects, feature films, television, commercials, short films, as well as community theater. I've had the privilege of working alongside some very talented and experienced actors throughout my career. I have certainly worked behind the scenes and yet, I always feel fatefully drawn to be in front of the camera. I believe in being the master of my own destiny and so I choose to be multifaceted by writing and producing my own projects as well.

Every actor has their own unique creative process and I believe that we all have the ability to find that special magic within ourselves. I want to help you harness that ability. I am here to encourage you and help elevate you to the highest level that you can reach. I will help you develop unique and authentic characters so that you can deliver powerful auditions and performances. We can discuss all manners of the performing arts and I’ll answer any questions that you may have.

As your scene partner, I can be very versatile whether it be the professional lawyer to the hopeless romantic or the hardened criminal. I have a very wide range and am willing to read for any type of character that you need opposite yourself. If you would like some feedback or ideas, I will gladly give my best advice as well any adjustments so that we can get the best performance possible. I'll always make sure you are happy with your takes.

If you would like me to coach you, I assure you that we will have a professional and productive session that you will be satisfied with. My feedback is never judgmental. I believe in giving you a safe space that provides empathy, encouragement, and supportiveness. I will gladly give my best advice for ideas and adjustments so that you can get that perfect take. Cut and print!

Whether you need an acting coach or just a scene partner, we will create incredible art together!

Let’s get to work and have fun doing what we love!
