April At Play
About
I have been coaching and teaching film and television actors of all ages for over 20 years. I currently teach classes in person at Drama Inc. in Atlanta and offer private lessons as well. As an acting coach, my students have booked leads in huge budget films and series regular roles. I am also a professional SAG_AFTRA actor who has been in multiple high budget television shows and films.
I offer emotional access techniques, audition coaching, pre-set filming coaching, and coaching for newer actors looking to level up their skills. I coach both in person and virtually.
My focus in coaching is on bringing humanity and specificity to the work. I pull from several different techniques. I love working on confidence, comedy, emotional scenes, generally confusing scenes and auditions, challenging characters, navigating difficult stage directions in auditions, and helping my students find and break through blocks in their acting work.
Everything I teach is from the perspective of applying the work to onscreen acting.
