- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The key to a successful session is a complete understanding of where your student is currently in their process and career. For Career Consultations - I use google docs and create a tailored plan for each and every student. I assess where you are in your career and then add or subtract from the plan based on your individual needs. This is imperative to living successfully as an actor in any market. We have very little control in this business but the good news is you CAN control how and where the industry sees you by following essential steps for success. YOU are your business after all. For Acting Coaching - I will spend some time at the beginning of the session to assess your level of experience, training and skills. And of course, what your needs are in that particular session. From there we will work in a way that is most effective for you. I will also take the time to figure out how you learn best and tailor my coaching so that we can maximize our learning time together. For Self Tape - it's pretty self explanatory. You'll have an audition and I will read and tape you. If you need coaching or directing, that is available to you too. I also offer taped scenes to bolster your actor's access profile page. If you don't know what that means, you should sign up for a career consult with me. :-)
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an excellent amount of life experience as well as a Masters Degree in Acting from Arts Educational School London. I also make a living on just acting so I am constantly around sets, actors of a high calibre, casting directors and agents etc...So I have first hand information and experience.
