Hi! Need a kind, patient, experienced reader, who loves actors and can coach you through an emotional and nuanced scene?
I got you!
My name is Yanni and I am a director & editor based in Los Angeles, and have spent the last 22+ years working behind the camera on TV & Film, in Europe and LA.
1. I can just read lines with you (if you're already confident in your choices).
or
2. I can coach you (i.e. I can work with you to find the best performance, the character, the arc, hit the beats, and coach you to your best take.)
I definitely gravitate most towards:
- comedy,
- fantasy,
- science-fiction,
- queer narratives,
- horror
- the supernatural.
So if you are over-thinking a complicated world in your head and are unsure how to proceed, I'm your guy!
Having spent so many years behind the camera, I have a lot of insight into what directors and casting directors are looking for and can help put you at ease, so you can present the best version of you and book that gig!
I have a British accent, and I also speak Greek fluently .
If you've made it this far, you should know I have a thing for penguins, but I assure you, it is strictly platonic.
Looking forward to working with you! :)

Yanni was wonderful! "
OMG. Yanni is amazing. It is a powerful tool to have a Director’s POV. Kind, thoughtful and smart! "
AMAZING!! SERIOUSLY "
Hes one of the best readers on here and gives me confidence through really thoughtful feedback - thanks Yanni!! "Amazing reader. I come back to Yanni time and time again. He knows his stuff! "Best reader on here. trust his instinct they're right. "Best reader on here!!! "I highly suggest anyone who works with Yanni gives him the opportunity to direct you and share his insight on his scene. I have never worked with a director who understands text analysis like he does! "There's no other way of saying it other than Yanni is truly one of the smartest, most perceptive and kindest reader ive ever worked with. Since he is a filmmaker, his ability to understand text analysis (defying "actor paralysis") while kindly informing interesting choices to shape a scene into something that is interesting and original is unmatched. I whole heartedly recommend working with him if you have the ability, and while there was no pressure for feedback I am so grateful I asked and was able listen to his sharp and poignant take on a very difficult scene - it changed my idea of the scene for the better. Thank You Yanni!!!! "
Amazing reader super flexible and helpful! "
Great reader, thanks! "
His director mind gave me a bunch of ideas on what to do that I wouldn't have thought of. Great reader. "
If you want to get back to focusing on performance, you have to hire this guy! It was so nice to have a director say....take your time....own your space! It's not about the line read! "
