Hey there! I'm an actor, director, writer and acting coach. I help actors book work all the time. I would love to help you next!
In the months I've been on WeAudition I'm proud to say actors I've worked with have received callbacks and bookings.
I have been coaching actors successfully on their film/tv and theatre auditions for the past decade, booking projects for NBC/Global, Hulu, Netflix, Warner Brothers, Oprah Winfrey Network, Prime Video, CBC, Lifetime and many others. I also teach acting on camera at Armstrong Studios.
For theatre, I have coached actors on auditions and roles for the Stratford Festival, Chicago Shakespeare, Soulpepper Theatre, Mirvish Theatre and Canadian Stage.
I can also help you improve your set up, run lines, do text analysis and trouble shoot tech problems.
If you want to schedule a coaching session you can shoot me an email at mikaela.davies@gmail.com or book through my website: https://www.mikaelalilydavies.com/coach
