Good Day! Thanks for your interest in private coaching!
I am a PRIVATE coach and not class oriented. I guide on an individual basis -- all ages, all levels.
All my clients get a phone consult before you book, to determine your coaching needs. I want to know all your desires, as well as ascertain what you think or know of the biz and what goals you wish to achieve.
| -- After our one meeting, I've auditioned for and gotten 2 industrials.
You were really a big help. Thanks! Sharon [acting coaching client] |
At your first session I would also like you to bring any 8 X 10 photos to assess -- if you have them. If you don't have them, bring some 4 X 6 shots of whatever you have. Also, if you have a little song (acapella) or a couple of pieces to perform for me too that would be a great start!
From that, I have a good idea what direction to go with you and with what to proceed to help you ATTAIN your goals. Each actor no matter the age, 3-80 are all different. If, later on in the coaching process, actors I work with want to do scenes... those are also private sessions and not class oriented -- and will be from my pick of students who express like interest.
**One former student ended up on 3 episodes of NIP/TUCK!**
| -- Just wanted to update you on some work I did. If you pick up a copy of
December's issue of Ladies Home Journal or Prevention you will see me in
an ad I appeared in for a cat food called Blue Buffalo Longevity. It
will also be appearing in December's issue of MORE magazine. I am also
on the packages of that cat food sold in Petsmart and Petco. In
January, I will be appearing on their dog food product as well. Romana P. [acting and model marketing coaching client] |
My coaching is along the lines of audition monologue work for theatre or script/scene work for cold reads/commercial auditions. I can also do musical audition coaching as well -- really learn how to SELL that song! ANY performance need you have is DO-ABLE!!! You could also just be a Salesman who wishes to sell his product better or a speechmaker who wishes to do better each time you step up to a podium.
I don't teach any particular method -- whatever works for YOU! My methods of study were the Boleslavsky method and Steppenwolf classes, and YEARS of on-the-job "training" -- THE BEST KIND!!! My own audition ratio speaks volumes! The last 3 auditions I did, I got called back for all 3 and got 2 jobs. My whole web-site here EQUALLY speaks volumes and I encourage you to check out each and every page.
I MAY plan to have an audition/scene PERFORMANCE with students who wish to do so as part of my coaching as well, again ONLY for those students interested!
Coaching Locations are either at my home in the Jefferson Park area of Chicago or at a studio I rent on the Northwest side of the city. The studio hours have restricted days and times. The studio is on Belmont just west of Elston and 1/4 block east of Sacramento, near Blue Line and other public transportation.
Session cost is $40 per hour. Some students prefer booking 2-hour time slots twice a month...whatever works best for you! I can tell you right from the first session we will be immediately WORKING HARD!
Please feel free to call or contact by email with any questions! Payment can be made by simply clicking the Paypal button to book your session! (I also accept cash ONLY, no checks... at your session).
