Raja Burrows

Let's cook! With 20+ years experience as an actor and teacher, I'll make your self-tapes fun, easy, and kick ass! Together, we'll sharpen your character's point of view - yes, even in those one line co-stars - to really bring your performance to life. And if you happen to need a classically trained actor who can cold-read dense, antiquated, or otherwise complicated text, I'm your man!

NOTE: WeAudition has been having some technical issues lately putting actors and coaches in different rooms. If you experience any technical difficulties, message me and I can e-mail you a Zoom link.

I also have a fully professional recording setup, including a Shure MV7+ microphone and Obsbot 4K webcam: it will feel like I'm really there in the room with you, and not "just" a virtual reader.

Native accent: Standard American English, but can do pretty much any accent or dialect.

Payment options: Paypal through WeAudition is best, but I accept Venmo, and Zelle as well; I also have a Stripe account if you can only pay by credit card.

To book a specific time with me or work for longer than 30 minutes: please email me at rajaburrows@gmail.com.

A note about "memorization:" If you'd like help taping or table-working a scene, I would be delighted to work on it with you, regardless of where you are in the process of getting it on its feet. However, at this time, I am unable to offer to help actors memorize lines; our time is much better spent sharpening your character's point of view or doing other forms of table work, and I promise you will be much happier with the result. :)
