About
Hi, my name is Natasha Tuzzolino! I currently work as a middle school drama teacher and have a Bachelor's in Theatre. Specifically Stage Acting! I have done many musicals and plays in my career. I have taken private vocal lessons and been a part of a choir since I was 5 and I have enjoyed performance ever since. However, I love TEACHING performance more than anything.
I specialize in coaching not specific to singing lessons.
What's the difference? Coaching is used for students who already have a base and a foundation in singing or acting. I will then enhance your talents through technique helping to create whatever style it is you are looking for. This is to help you become better are whatever it is you are trying to do! However, if you are just super interested in learning to sing or act with me, I would happily help you in any way I can!
My goals as an Acting and Vocal coach are your goals. If you live in my area and you want more opportunities to showcase your talents I can help you with that too! I have connections in my community to help you sign up for auditions and pave the way to your success. If you want something to do for fun? NO WORRIES because that is what I live for FUN! I promise we will have an absolute blast learning and developing our unique and individual talents.
Confidence is a big part of the process and I will become your biggest fan by the end of the process.
For my singers: We will go over what it is you are trying to accomplish in the lesson. Once we have established a firm goal and timeline we will begin to work on the song. You will then learn to implement acting to your performance and TADA! You WILL be a show-stopping force in any audition or production you are a part of. For my students who are doing it just for fun, we will do all of the same things so you can become confident in your abilities and have all the fun in the world.
For my actors: We will be working on monologues and pieces you bring in no matter the style I am well "VERSED" (get it?) in my acting. We will build up your confidence and I will help you with all the memorization techniques I have (which is practice, practice, practice)!
Finally, I have been performing since I was 9 and I stand by my work. I teach on average 300 young students each year. As a licensed educator, I have been teaching for 2 years in my district. I have done too many musicals to count but my favorite roles were Sebastian in "The Little Mermaid" at Broadway Productions of Las Vegas, Irene Molloy in "Hello Dolly!", Ensemble in "The Wizard of Oz" and "Cabaret", Louise in "Everything in the Garden" and finally my all time love, Shun/Elegua in "Marcus and The Secret of Sweet" at UNLV.
My professional acting training was done through UNLV's Stage and Screen Acting program, Music training through UNLV's Vocal Performance and Musical Theatre classes, Stella Adler in Hollywood, New York Film Academy in Hollywood, Barstow Community College's Acting and Music Program, Show Choir, Community Choirs, and finally private Lessons with Patty Yancey.
Thank you for taking the time to read through my information and know that with my skills and techniques, your student will be acting or singing with the stars in NO TIME!
