Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First and foremost I want to know what your interest in acting or public speaking is?
Do you have any experience with acting or public speaking? Even if your only experience was in your 1st grade production; that is OK. Everyone starts some where.
What are your dreams, goals and aspirations in terms of acting or public speaking?
What seems to be your biggest challenge or obstacle to achieving your dreams goals and aspirations?
I offer a complimentary phone consultation to listen to understand you and to then offer you helpful information. From there we can both discern if we want to move forward to schedule your FREE professional training session with me via Zoom on a mutually convenient day & time. Sound Good?
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended Lesley University in the Expressive Arts and Communication Program.
I have several certifications, trainings and credietials under my belt, as well. I am also a certified life coach.
My 30 year successful career has included being an actress, improv artist, historic character re-enactment, artist educator, writer, television host, casting director, director, producer, acting coach & publuc speaking trainer.
The professional experience, depth of knowledge and business acumen I will bring to your training sessions will not only provide you with exceptional well rounded strong support, it will also give you the confidence to succeed.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I have packages of 5, 10, 20 or 40 professional private acting coaching sessions or public speaking training sessions. The more sessions you commit to the more affordable the per session rate.
In summer of 2024, I will be introducing an exclusive, by invitation only professional acting group coaching session. The Exclusive professional acting training group coaching program will be offered at a very affordable rate and will meet on a specific day & time.After an initial complimentary consultation to figure out if we are a good match, I'm happy to discuss my rates with you immediately after your FREE Professional Acting Training Session via Zoom. I prefer to work with clients who are highly motivated about making an investment in their passion for acting and want to be working as an actor or they have a desire to speak in public and want to be a successful speaker.
