Sarah Shirkey

Sarah is a Michigan native [[points at hand]] with a BFA in Theatre from the University of Detroit Mercy. Go Titans! She has extensive experience as an actor, voiceover artist, producer, coach, and mentor.

As an actor with more than 20 years of stage and screen experience, casting directors know Sarah has a reputation for being available, thorough, prepared, enthusiastic, and someone that they can rely on. These attributes are the cornerstones of her two personal acting mottos: "Get good at the things that don't take talent", and "Auditioning IS the job".

Sarah's reputation as a dedicated professional with a knack for creative problem-solving made her a highly sought-after acting coach and mentor, using her attention to detail and persistent encouragement to help hundreds of actors reach their full potential.

When she's not coaching or in front of the camera, Sarah can often be found producing or supporting projects that empower women. Her latest project, a short film titled Always, Always features an all women cast AND crew. She not only played the supporting role of Hannah, she also served as Executive Producer and she looks forward to helping create more opportunities like this in the near future.

In her free time she can be found at her 'not-a-book-club-book-club', making spreadsheets, looking good in all hats (seriously), and attempting to learn German.

She and her husband, Craig, currently reside in Chicago with their two weirdo dogs, Stanley and Waldo.
