Introduction

I am intuitive and encouraging. I will give you honest feedback and clear action steps to open your voice, follow your body, and use your imagination to find freedom for powerful acting and engaging storytelling. I will help you communicate with courage and authenticity, share tips for auditions, explore creative expression, and practice living in the truth of the moment. I'm also adept at opening your singing voice and helping you communicate the acting beats of a song. Or perhaps you just want encouragement to drop into your natural speaking voice and learn tips to being a transparent and grounded speaker? After working and instructing in professional theatre for 25 years, I've seen a lot of breakthroughs. My approach is quite playful and affirming, and I am full of exciting exercises. I'm curious to get to know you and learn what works for you. Let's connect!

Jeany is an absolutely wonderful acting coach, that I would highly recommend! She is extremely caring, knowledgeable, open, honest, and creative. Her passion for acting is clear and is backed up by a high level of expertise and skill. As a coach, Jeany creates a space that is completely judgment free and really gives actors space to explore, while also helping you to discover an insightful awareness of yourself as an actor and the characters you are exploring. I can guarantee, you will love working with her!

Jeany is a brilliant coach who really knows her stuff. There's so much I could say - She can tell you exactly what to work on but does it in a kind way that invites you deeper into the process of connecting with the material - building lasting skills you'll apply to every other bit of acting you do. Book with her!

Jeany has been great to work with for on-camera and theater auditions. Her coaching has a playfulness that gives me freedom to explore. Her specific feedback sharpens me to be specific in every moment. After working with her, I deliver work I'm proud of regardless of the outcome.

Thanks for your feedback David. I’m so glad I was able to help. Great work on the Fargo episode; I had a blast reading with you for that audition.

Jeany gives all to her work. She comes prepared, not just with ideas and material, but with a sensitivity to the person she is preparing to coach. She is listening listening listening to who you are, and the possibilities of where you could go. If you want to repeat the same kind of performances over and over, don't hire Jeany. But if you want someone who comes ready to help you expand and fill out a fuller version of yourself, taking risks, leaping and being invigorated and enlivened by that leap - invest in time with Jeany. She is kind, gentle and playful. You will be surprised how far this combo will take you.

Thank you so much for your insight and positive feedback Sarah!
