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 find all the hidden moments in the script - yes, even in those one line co-stars - that can 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!
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 "running lines:" I have a very specific and regimented way of helping actors learn lines that I have found to be incredibly effective. If you're interested in that, amazing! However, if you're just looking to go through the scene over and over until you're off book, you will have a much better time working with someone else. :)
