Hello!
I'm a working actor with over 20yrs of experience in the LA & Southeast markets. I love working with actors...it's great having such positive reviews on here, and actors returning to work with me consistently! THANK YOU!

Within the last 2yrs I've booked roles in TOP GUN: MAVERICK, ALL AMERICAN, SWEET MAGNOLIAS, TALES OF THE WALKING DEAD, QUEENS, THE MS. PAT SHOW, BANDIT, THE FIRST LADY, ON A WING AND A PRAYER, JOHNSON and FIRST WIVES CLUB, all Supporting Leads, Recurring Guest Stars or Top Of Show Guest Spots.
I'd love to help you nail your auditions with confidence, prep/rehearse scenes, or workshop new material. I have great script analysis and can provide tools, feedback, coaching (when/if asked) to keep you truthful and grounded in the work. Or just be a solid reader for you. Whatever YOU want to feel your best.
With some recent tech issues on this platform, I'm happy to create a zoom link for us that has a better connection and no lag time. And, if you don't see my beacon on, just email me to set up a time to coach/tape: rachaelmarkarian@gmail.com

I've worked in the Drama, Comedy and Multi-Cam worlds ;-)
Filmmakers I've worked with include:
-Tom Cruise, Joseph Kosinski, Jerry Bruckhiemer: TOP GUN: MAVERICK
-Samantha Morton: Top of Show GS on TALES OF THE WALKING DEAD
-Taye Diggs, Daniel Ezra: Recurring GS on ALL AMERICAN
-Josh Duhamel, Nestor Carbonell: Supporting Lead in BANDIT

-Steven Soderberg, Michael Douglass: BEHIND THE CANDELABRA
-Mary Lou Belli, Jordan Cooper: Top of Show GS on THE MS. PAT SHOW
-Amy Sherman-Palladino: GILMORE GIRLS REVIVAL

I'm also a classically trained dancer, with an understanding of movement/body language, activities and aud. technique within the frame.
