Laura Shatkus
Hi there! I would love to help you find the nuances of your audition...and quickly. I have taught and coaching acting for over 10 years and am myself working as an on-camera actor. I churn out about 5 auditions a week so I know your unique needs in terms of sculpting a scene and quick turn around.
I excel in making things funnier than they are (commercial copy, anyone) and helping actors find the A to C of the scene, even if you only have one line!
