Why Train?

Most actors need to train their voices because tension can make a voice sound tight, and careless speech can leave a voice unintelligible. The actor not only has to deal with the tensions of everyday life and the stress of auditioning, but the added emotional strain of the character he is playing. It takes training to publicly express the full emotional life of your character, moment by moment, while clearly articulating his every word in a way that sounds natural and effortless.

Why Coach?

As a coach, I can help you with a particular audition or preparing a role. Even after an actor has been basically trained, it is important that he have an objective ear to listen to his work. Many professionals coach with me to gain accuracy with an accent or clarity with complex text. Some come to reduce vocal strain, some come to try out a new vocal quality for a particular character.

What I Have to Offer

I have over 25 years coaching experience with a successful track record.

I have trained many actors at varying levels of skill. As a professional actor/singer, and voice and speech professor, I am also experienced in a number of acting and voice methods. I can communicate with you at whatever level and in whatever acting/ vocal language you are most comfortable.

I have expertise as an acting coach. Many actors come to me because they can get professional acting coaching while they are getting their voice & dialect coaching. The combined service saves valuable time and leads to a more organic and integrated performance.
