ABOUT PRIVATE COACHING
Coaching for the actor: The best environment for actors to train in, is in a classroom with other actors. Since actors work publicly, they must train and prepare by bringing their work up in front of their coach and peers. Plus, actors can learn much by watching other actors work. There are times however, that actors need one-on-one sessions with their coach, for instance when preparing for an important audition. Private acting lessons are in no way meant to replace an acting class, but are meant to enhance and further grow your craft.
Coaching for personal development: The skills that are taught through acting can benefit any individual whether it is to become a better leader, communicator, team player or presenter. The skills developed show up in everyday life and business. If you are not interested in becoming an actor but interested in personal growth, such as; gaining more confidence, becoming a better public speaker or even launch yourself as an on screen personality, our coaches can assist you.
