About

I can't imagine working in any other field besides the performing arts and I am passionate about helping artists reach their highest potentials! I use best practices to help adults and children find success who want to step up their game and take their skills and talents to the next level, whether it involves acting, dialects, or public speaking! I have worked with groups in school settings, theatres, corporate, and non-profit settings, as well as one-on-one coaching. My approach follows a student's own specific goals and objectives rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all set of instructions upon all my students, which may hamper a student's unique and authentic path to success. I have helped my students enjoy successes such as securing lead roles in regional theatres, making successful presentations in front of groups, getting into the high schools and colleges of their choice, and giving award-winning performances in their fields! Check out my LinkedIn profile and feel free to contact me. I look forward to working with you and discovering the heights of your potential! https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-glass-4aa43518/

    Ive been coached by Rachel for a little over two years now and I can truly say its been a transformative experience. I came in with a mild knowledge of what is was to be an actor and Rachel has not only informed me in ways to improve my craft, my voice, and how I study a role but also increased my horizons on where I want to go in my career as a performer. My voice acting and accents have improved and my preparation steps to go into a role has also gotten better as I now know more ways to analyze a monologue, or dialogue scene, and pull the most out of it as an actor thanks to Rachel. Shes encouraging, very patient, and best of all able to adapt quickly to what you will need as a student as you level up in your acting abilities while working with her. I cannot recommend working with Rachel enough and her knowledge on so many different types of acting (i.e. Voice Acting, Accents, Theatre, Film, etc.) means that no matter what your goals are as an actor, Rachel will be able to guide you in the best ways possible to get you to where you want to be in the craft.

    I had to quickly conquer a British accent - no easy task if you google youtube videos and try it yourself : ) I was lucky enough to come across Rachel who happens to be a dialect coach. Well. she is more than a dialect coach, because she also is an actress and understands the nature of scripts and the art of acting. In just 2 half hour sessions, she did her magic and taught me the pronunciation, pitch, rhythm, music and tone of the accent. She is super skilled and efficient. Definitely a life-saver! I give her 10 stars!!!

    Rachel Glass has been the most informative, enjoyable and specific acting coach I have had the privilege of working with.
    Rachel’s attention to detail, understanding of tactics, and encouragement of the use of my voice, body, imagination and storytelling have been essential to my growth and play as an actor.
    Every opportunity I get to work with Rachel deepens my understanding and relationship to the text, character and story. She asks questions that inspire me to delve into my conceptualization of the performance I am portraying and she challenges me to escape from any bad habits I might have, while helping me overcome my weaknesses and elevate my strengths.
    Rachel’s approach towards our work is uplifting and fun, which makes our sessions feel far less stressful and much more delightful! After every session I am more prepared, enthusiastic and confident in the direction my work is going. I always look forward to my next coaching session with Rachel, knowing I will get closer and closer to my desired goal!
    I highly recommend Rachel Glass as an acting coach and theatre arts mentor. She is passionate, professional and inspiring!

    I worked together with Rachel as an actor in several successful musical theater productions. Based on those great experiences, I hired her as a singer for some demo recordings that I produced. Rachel was a tremendous asset to those recording projects. She is both very creative and very professional. She is one of the best singers I have ever worked with.

    I was invited to train as a Theatre teaching artist with an arts organization connected with the Lincoln Center (NY) in 1995 and I enjoyed working with the children in the program (ages preschool-grade 12).  I was delighted at how they responded positively to me and were able to apply the concepts that I taught them to great effect!  I have been teaching ever since and have continued to expand my program to include acting, voice-acting, dialect coaching, preparing for an audition, and public speaking . My student/client base includes adults and youth.

    I have worked with students ages pre-K thru 12th grade--in public, private, and home school settings.  I have worked with adults in the performing arts industry and in other industries. I have worked with students whose first language is not English.  I have worked with American students and with students who come from countries all over the world. I have worked with students from diverse cultures, traditions, races, and ethnicities. I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with you!

    I love attending the Seattle International Film Festival every year to see the incredible variety of films that are shown from all over the world and to meet the actors and filmmakers who attend screenings and events at the Festival! It is one of the highlights of my year!

    --What are the coach's background/qualifications/years and scope of experience?

     --Does the coach specialize in the specific things you are looking to work on? (There should be some indication of that on the coach's resumé; if you don't see it, ask the coach before investing; the coach may not specialize in the skill you need help on)

    --Will the coach do extra work outside of the coaching session (i.e.  find monologues, speeches, scripts, other resource materials for you)? That is a factor to consider when noting what a coach charges for a fee.

    --Do you 'click' with the person whom you are hiring to be your coach?  Personal chemistry is very important, especially in one-on-one work.
