FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We will start with a free, 20 minute phone consultation. After that time, I am happy to offer income-based pricing discounts.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We begin by outlining what you like and dislike about public speaking, your wildest aspirations as a communicator, and relatively how long you'd like to work together. Each session begins with a brief vocal/ physical warm up that's tailored to your needs. We will work together to develop a warm up you can do independently before a talk or meeting (or daily) to help you feel grounded and confident, and communicate with ease. We then might move into exercises designed around building a particular skill (such as storytelling, improved diction, etc), or begin to work on a particular speech. We'll work on speeches (or interview questions, stories, etc) formally, but also creatively-- we might play games, work with your imagination, or explore new styles of delivery-- whatever is necessary to help you communicate with impact. A major focus of our work will be on developing awareness of your body, voice, and connection with others. There's a reason they call it stage "presence!" Clients typically schedule sessions 1-2 weeks apart, and some homework will be given between each meeting.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my MFA in Classical Acting from George Washington University/ the Shakespeare Theatre and my BFA in Acting from NYU-Tisch. I've trained in the UK with the British American Drama Academy, and with US Master Teachers such as Matthew Corozine and Tessa Lang. I am currently training in Accent Modification with Compton PESL. I am also certified as a Vinyasa Yoga Teacher, and a certified to teach Trauma Informed Mindfulness via the Engaged Mindfulness Institute.
