About

Over 40 years experience in training actors for stage, tv, film and auditioning, as well as building self confidence and public speaking. I was trained by Lee Strasburg in Los Angeles for 7 years before coming to St Petersburg, FL to care for my mother. For 30 years, I have been the Executive Director of Venue Theatre and Actors Studio in St Pete/ Pinellas Park, where we have served the actors and performers of the Tampa Bay Area. Currently I am working out of my home until I find a suitable studio to work out of.

I especially enjoy seeing a performer "get it," all of a sudden a light goes on behind their eyes. They then start to enjoy the process and crave more. I also enjoy helping people get started in the industry which has been my career for over 50 years as a member of SAG/AFTRA, and avoid the pitfalls which can consume the novice and cause unnecessary expenditures and set backs.

    Corrine is awesome 👌! She is a great listener and very experienced. Her recommendations suggestions and advice are always appreciated and delivered in a sensitive mindful manner. It was so fortunate for me to find a Method Acting coach at this particular time in my lifes journey. I have learned so much in 4 weeks. As a matter of fact I learned more from Corrine in my first lesson than I would have learned at Face Foward Talent agency in 6 months. Thank you so much Corrine for your patience and sightingfulness.

    As a Producer/ Director I know that time is money. To get the scene shot in the least amount of takes, I need actors that can take direction. When I have a new project, the first person I call is Corinne, to see if she has any actors that will work with my script. I do this because I know that if Corinne has trained them, and says that they are ready, they will be able to do a good job for me.

    I wanted to give you an update on Tucker. We are still here in LA and doing well. Tucker did a pilot for ABC this spring and recently booked a recurring role on a new Nickelodeon series that will air on Thanksgiving night at 8pm. The show is called Big Time Rush and is about a boy band moving to Hollywood! I remember Tucker having his first acting class with you and still think about him as The Party Pig!

    Frequently asked questions

    First lets see where you are now and what your goals are, then we can work from there to reach your goals. 

    FREE hour t o get acquainted. NOT a coaching session, lets see if we fit together.

    Private coaching 1.5 hours week, $45 - Focus will be on skills: auditioning, cold reading, memorization, relaxation and focus exercises and presentation. This is a Regular acting session and can be ongoing.

    Originally trained in Voice in College and fell into acting during my Senior year.  Professional actor since 1968, Studied with Lee Strasberg in LA for 7 years, Had my own theatre for 25 years, have trained over 5000 working actors in this area.

    Minimum for private is $45 per 1.5 hour session/ $30 for one hour.  Since the pandemic, I am doing private sessions only.  There is a waiting list for any future class.

    I was asked to coach some teens and later encouraged by friends to share my knowledge.  I held my first Seminar in 1985 and wound up with two classes of 20 people each!  I was so surprised that the actors were so hungry for knowledge and technique.  Having left a budding career in LA, I came to St Pete to care for my mother who was disabled by a medical accident.  Teaching and directing saved my sanity and I found that I enjoyed it as much as I have acting.  I still act.

    kids, teens, adults, handicapped.  Everyone.  Currently Private only adults and teens on occasion if they are committed.

    Recently directed "South Pacific" with special needs adults, June 2017.  Then back to Utah in September to film episodes of ProperManors.tv (on Facebook) I play Mildred Dean, matron of the central family of the series.   October 2017 directing special needs adults in a Halloween event in Gulfport   February 2018 a new show with special needs adults, presenting "Guys and Dolls" in June 2018 at the Hickman Theatre in Gulfport.

    April 2022, casting and beginning to rehearse "Rock of Ages" with ProjectFREE in Gulfport. Looking for anyone who wants to volunteer with this group.  We usually have 23 or so actors/performers and need on stage and back stage help.

    June 2023, auditing for a new Musical "Nonna: A Musical Celebration;" was presented in NJ prior to the pandemic and has sat on a shelf despite rave reviews in 2020. The Author is using it to create a Healing Center in St Pete. Watch for more on that. Still seeking cast members.

    Hopefully you will have someone who cares about you, not just the money.  Someone to give you the emotional support you need.  Remember, if you do not try you cannot succeed.

    Set your goals, recognize your limitations, be honest with yourself and your coach.  If they are promising you the star slot, beware.  Only YOU can make You a star.  Personally, I always wanted  to be a working actor.
