Suzanne Whang Professional Coaching
8 Reviews
"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." -- Albert Einstein
Here's one testimonial from a current student: “Once upon a time I would have said I was a dancer. Or a writer. Or a poet. But after almost 20 years in the corporate tech world, opportunities to express myself dried up and my creativity had atrophied. Suzanne, sensing there was a void in my life and a light in my eyes that had dimmed, urged me to try a coaching session. Despite my demon voices telling me I was being silly, I did. And it changed my life. Having Suzanne come into my

I experience the world through a creative eye. As a professional dancer, choreographer and actor; I’ve been fortunate to celebrate our youth and others by coaching them in Performance Education for the last ten years.

Sarah Deaver, Audition/Acting Coach
1 Review
My main effort is to get you to the callback. Once there, the work changes and goals shift, but the initial audition is what means the most to your agent and to casting and should mean the most to you. There's no job if you can't get past Round One.
No matter the scene/script I believe that variety is the spice of life. Your scene must have turns and shifts and opposites (ie - if your choices must be incredibly specific).
Ultimately my goal is to get you to the place where you no longer feel as though you need a coach but have the confidence and knowledge to prep your auditions yourself.
Let's get to work!

Acting With Brianna Chomer

I have worked with several award winning actors, directors, and producers and have treated each day on set like a master class. I have used my time as a professional actress to grow in the art in all forms. I have recently worked on a film for 8 weeks and found that all my co-stars wanted to rehearse their scenes for feedback before we shot. I loved working and learning the different styles and methods an actor takes to reach their objective. It instilled a desire in me to extend this service to others and help them find the moments and the truth to really bring their character and scene to life. Whether it is for yourself, a class, an auditi

I am a graduate of the Stella Adler Academy located in Hollywood, CA. I have played many lead roles in front of audiences numbering up to 2,400. I taught acting for 5 years discovering and developing a processs that creates a life and spirit to the character you are cast to play. The process triggers the instincts with which we are born. Anybody can learn the process and is irrelevant of one's personality. The key is the desire to learn. Whether one wants to become an engineer, a teacher, a carpenter or an actor, it will not happen without the desire to learn the skills.If you are a seasoned actor, I will work with you on monologues, plays an
