Introduction
Classes are available in acting, physical theater, voice work, and public speaking classes. I am a Designated Meisner Teacher ***VERY EASY BOOKIING THROUGH MY WEBSITE *** Being the top female coach on Thumbtack, I am proud of my status! I have coached hundreds of people in public speaking, including lawyers, doctors, TV newscasters, business owners, pharmaceutical reps, college students preparing for graded presentations, TikTok influencers, fitness enthusiasts, gallery owners, CEOs of large retail companies, law students in training, and lawyers. I have also helped people prepare speeches for special events such as weddings. I have coached them in speeches, presentations, and performances, while others have hired me to help them find confidence in their voice. I have been hired by large companies worldwide to individually coach teams on sales calls, teaching them how to sell and close deals. I have been asked to hear and edit the language in all these presentations so that the writing flows and is easier for their audiences to understand and receive. I have a Master's in Acting and have trained performers for 25 years. ********************** I coach my actors from a place of confidence and positivity! This is my number one way to coach.

My daughter recently had an acting lesson with Ms. Frances, and it was a fantastic experience! Ms. Frances is incredibly knowledgeable about the acting industry and brings a wealth of expertise to her teaching. During the lesson, she worked with my daughter on a self-tape for a big audition and helped her break down the script, which consisted of just one line. She explained what agents and directors might be looking for and guided Skye through every detail to bring out the best performance. Ms. Frances has a great way of connecting with young actors and making the process both engaging and educational. We are so impressed with her guidance and look forward to learning more from her in the future!
