Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I schedule a meeting so I can get to know what someone's individual needs are. I talk through my different classes and workshops to see where they would best be served. I also take them on a tour of the studios and go over how I teach and what techniques they will be learning. From there we come up with a plan to move their acting to the next level.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
