Marla Schaffel Coaching
About this pro
I am a professional Tony nominated Broadway actress and graduate of the Juilliard School Drama Division with 30 years of experience. Currently coaching students in audition preparation for college programs, graduate programs, and professional auditions.
What I love most about private coaching is to help students overcome what may be getting in the way of their success. We work hard and accomplish a great deal in my sessions and we do it with honesty and courage.

Marla is wonderful. I have been studying with her for 5+ years and continue to discover new things about the craft. She is patient, caring, attentive, funny, smart, and reliable. Not only did she help prepare me for college auditions, but she continues to coach me post-undergrad as I move into the professional acting world here in New York. I highly recommend working with her.
