Actor CoachingsHello Actors and Musicians,
Are you an actor-muso or have you always wanted to be? Do you want extra help, tips and tricks, coachings, or lessons? Have you noticed that there is basically nothing in the way of training and coaching in this very prevalent field? Well good news: I am now offering actor-muso lessons and coachings in Chicago and online! I can say from experience that learning to be a great actor-musician is one of the hardest things to do in our industry. Getting the acting, singing, moving, and playing to work together to give a transcendent, nuanced performance can be an elusive goal. But with a structured, practical approach that will build your confidence and ensemble skills on all levels I'm here to help you get there. So if you’re interested in checking out what these coachings have to offer as an actor, singing-actor, or actor-muso, I have acting, singing, and actor-muso coachings that might just work for you. I'm happy to work with anyone from beginners to veterans. I teach and coach with a supportive model that is BBIPOC and LGBTQIA+ welcoming and encouraging.
