LaVie Acting

I define my work as a self-awakening process through art exposure. I work with actors and non-actors. I guide my students to find an alignment between their personal truth connected to their character so the professional is able to relieve emotional conflicts and bring balance to their lives. I work intensely with self-knowledge and together we find a new and real meaning to truthfully live any role or face any given moment, in stage but also and most important, in life. We also improve the students’ ability to listen and accept whatever is thrown their way by reacting naturally and spontaneously so they build real connections with thei

Luke Donia-Acting Coach
My service stands out because you receive one on one coaching that is tailor made to your needs as an actor! Whatever method works for you is how we will go about our business every session. I travel to all of my students, because I want them to feel like they're in a familiar and comfortable place while they are performing and being coached. Being in familiar surroundings allows my students to be loose and take risks right off the bat. This is VERY important. Students must be able to completely let go off all fear and 110% own the room. Once they get over that we are able to explore so many other layers. While I do also recommend taking occ
