Introduction

SCHEDULE A FREE AUDIT WITH ME :) ***CLASSES ARE TUESDAYS 5PM PST & THURSDAYS 10:30AM PST*** !!! CLASSES ARE VIRTUAL!!! THEY ARE SMALL 3 TO 5 STUDENT GROUP CLASSES. 9 yrs of age and older I became SAG within my first year of acting. In this amount of time, I have managed to receive network credits on ABC, Netflix, Hulu and TheCW. I have several audition rooms that I frequent. I have had the gift of "booking the room" since my FIRST audition. I've also booked national commercials, and now direct my own projects including music videos. The actors that I have coached have booked and received callbacks. I have a way of helping to make your audition or selftape stand out, by making strong yet smart choices. I am patient and passionate when coaching, and I like to work in a fun, free and nonjudgmental environment where we can all be comfortable. In my class we work on audition prep, on camera work, connecting to the character, confidence & professionalism, and scene study. Things I assist with: I specialize in scripted Theatrical TV & Film. I do not coach for commercials unfortunately.

My experience with Phire has been excellent. Not only have I been educated but also she’s been attentive to my comprehension of her teaching style and always honest in her feedback. I completely recommend her teaching.

So far I’ve only taken one class with Phire but she is probably one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and I love how she makes sure that everyone is comfortable with the environment she creates! I’m so looking forward to continuing classes with her and starting my craft

Phire has been so helpful with my daughters acting. She not only coaches but helps with auditions and I am extremely grateful we found her. Though we have a time difference she always is able to accommodate our schedule. Couldn’t ask for a better coach!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been training since beginning my career in acting. I train with Wendy Davis of Army Wives and Love Is... and Max Decker's MAD Acting Studio. I have been a part of the entertainment business since 2010.
