About
Private acting coach
Private coaching sessions can be helpful for working actors in need of assistance with an audition, or the developing of a character for an up coming project. Writers and directors have also used private sessions to help fine tune a script and/or sharpen their ability to communicate with talent.
Coaching sessions can also be used to help beginners. Acting classes can be difficult with a busy schedule and a bit intimidating at first, but are eventually a must if the actor is to move forward.
Online acting coach
One-on-one acting lessons and coaching sessions with Kirk Baltz are now available to students around the world. He maintains a flexible schedule and is able to accommodate time zone differences in most instances.
These sessions are for beginning, intermediate and advanced students...those just starting, actors who have already begun to study and actors working and auditioning. If you need some help with that audition you just got, give a call and get grounded.
Online coaching sessions are usually done with SKYPE
Private coaching rates...hourly and daily for on location and on set, are available upon request.
Our "work" as actors is rooted in speaking out the TRUTH when it needs to be spoken. I for one need CONSTANT support to do this. Community. It's too damn easy to sit here and lie, deny and become complacent. Trust me...I too slip into this abyss at times and need to reach out and grab on to the TRUTH to be pulled back up and out. We all fight to do the best we can on a daily basis. Some days yes, we're better at it than others.
Our world will not change unless we are willing to make sacrifices and fight for what we believe in. Our work as ARTISTS will not change unless we commit and take the same necessary risks.
It has been my experience as an actor that when I prepare and stay plugged in with fierce determination, great opportunities come to fruition and I am ready. When I sit back and wait with complacency not much happens. The universe gives according to the sacrifices we make accumulatively...there needs to be consistency.
