About
Greetings,
Our focus is to help you reveal the Artist/ Actor within you. Acting is not pretending, Acting is BECOMING. Acting IS and we take your inner and outer expression to greater levels of audition & performance enhancement. & growth.
Our focus is to guide you through the Artistic process by allowing you to embrace and reveal the Artist IN you. Beginning in our first Master Class session, you will engulf yourself in your own Artistic colors, your own Artistic vulnerabilities and indeed your own Artistic Courage. This is how you will come to realize how much of yourself actually lives in EVERY Character, EVERY Monologue that you will ever dive into. These are the essential initial steps to the ultimate reveal to your audience... BELIEVABILITY.
You have to be willing to do the work. You have to be willing to uncover the silent YOU that lives within. Layer by layer and beat by beat we will build your confidence to breathe life into any character that you approach. We will dissect and reconstruct your monologue techniques so that you are not just ready for audition but ready to approach the audition itself as a performance.
Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned Artist preparing for an upcoming audition or performance, our one on one and group Master Classes will empower you to reach and sustain deeper levels of total creative connection to this Craft we call Acting.
Lets discuss your Artistic desires and short/long term goals. This process starts with YOU. No matter where you are in your journey, connecting and reconnecting with the fundamentals and reassessing your approach to every moment, every layer, every AUDITION is key. The thing that holds you back is thinking the audition is the gateway to the gig....Our philosophy is the audition IS the gig... and should be treated as such.
Let's Work!!
Regardless of your age or experience, we will give you all that we can and we will creatively push you along the way. We will hold you accountable with the full expectation that you will pour as much into your Artistic PROCESS as we will pour into our belief in you.
And as always, your first session is Free.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Acting in itself is all about Process. Please understand that it's so very important to commit to the process of Becoming your character. My goal is to get my students to embrace the fact that your character...IS you. Whatever character that may be. So we must first delve into who you are as a person, why do you want to be an Actor, why is it important, what are your fears? What are your Hopes? You see those very same questions you will learn to ask of EVERY Character you Become..and that is Step 1.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Howard University School of Fine Arts
Shenandoah University Theater Conservatory
Studied with:
Vera Katz, Mike Malone, Dr Henri Edmonds, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee, Phylicia Rashad, Debbie Allen
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Prices Vary. I prefer students book a block of a minimum of 4 -6 sessions so we may build a body of work to gauge progress
