    I must say that I was skeptical at first, because the type of exercises presented reminded me of the artsy fartsy stuff I thought was useless when I was a much younger actor. Welll.....HOW WRONG I WAS! Because of my encounter with Beth, I have now become an even better actor as I fully realize how important it is to fully release oneself on a stage. It was cleansing, cathartic even, as I found emotion and physicality within me that I never knew existed. I cant wait to work with her again. Scott Zimmerman. Actor.

    “My wife and I always felt that our daughter had the potential to act, but she lacked any formal training. Taking her to Beth Newbery for acting lessons was the best decision we could have made. In a matter of a few months, Beth enabled her to develop a stage presence, taught her how to project her voice, and helped her to express herself dramatically. Now, our daughter has bee accepted to a summer intensive Musical Theatre Program, where she will be performing in an off-Broadway showcase before leading agents and casting directors in the industry. None of this would have happened without Beth’s coaching. Her experience, her passion for the performing arts, and her commitment to her students is beyond compare”

    To Beth
    Hello, Its Chrystle, I recently joined the Creative House Improv class. I really like what we do in improv class. I wish that I could attend more sessions other than just Tuesdays. Other than that, I also, liked that youre my given instructor because youre an awesome director, I truly enjoy doing the improvising without any previous preparation. In addition, I enjoyed us acting as if we were crying on camera because i felt more confident doing it. All in all, I hope to see you again soon (:
    Sincerely,
    Chrystle

    Frequently asked questions

    First of all, ask a student what they wish to achieve and what their aims are.

    Then I find out about the level of their own ability and as much as possible about the level of confidence verses the knowledge. I discuss this in details to enhance how I use my skills and toold with them. For acting I provide a cold reading, then a short speech request as well as a little excerise.

    This will be the first session.

    I offer a first one on one  for $50  when coaching from my own place, or virtually.   I would love to offer you and  am accepting that anyone from this web site can have five training sessions at $45  if booking five as a group.

    It was so natural to me and I loved it. Having a background in Care and being one of seven children I always looked after my sisters so when the opportunity to teach at a college came I took this up. From there I began taking sessions in all sorts of schools and educational establishments. I worked with the Willow Tree performance School for over fifteen years, Stage Coach, Theatre Train where I had become lead trainer and became a sub teacher in london Schools. I still take individual coaching in both UK and New York .
