Yes!

I love helping clients find new monologues! I don’t just hand you a bunch and send you on your way. For folks looking for new material, I recommend clients book a 3 or 5 session coaching package.

The first session we look over your resume, discuss what roles you felt connected to, and what your dream roles are. We talk about your unique qualities, and what you bring to your characters, and also discuss boundaries and material you don’t want to have in monologues (I also won’t give you material that is outside of your playable characters, so I am mindful of age and race in your selection process, and avoid overly graphic content). We will also discuss what your goals are for this audition material and what audition requirements may be.

The second session I’ll have compiled a bunch of monologues for us to look at together. Hearing you read them aloud will help me determine if it is a good fit, or if we need to try something different. I’ll want to hear what you like and dislike about pieces so I can make adjustments.

By the third session we can start discussing script analysis, and acting techniques to prepare your monologues for auditions. If you choose a 5 session package, that give us more time to work the material, and get it fully polished for an audition!

Yes and No.

Submitting for representation should be when you are already able to audition at a professional level, and you have an established resume of experience and training. Most agents don’t have the time or energy to train emerging actors, and sending inexperienced actors out can make them look bad.

What I’ve worked on with previous clients who have landed representation is updating their actor materials to a professional level (headshot, resume, video footage), and worked on acting techniques, so they are ready to learn and execute an audition at the professional level.

Actors shouldn’t rely on their agents to book work. Whether or not you have an agent, you are able to submit yourself for projects, develop relationships with casting directors, continue your training and develop special skills, create your own work and promote it. That personal drive is what makes you a good potential client for an agency, so I recommend figuring out how to build your experience and and develop relationships before pursuing representation.

VO is not my speciality. Locally, I’d recommend Jack Straw for training and recording. For online training, I’d recommend Voicecaster.

If you are experiencing financial hardship, feel free to contact me and we can discuss ways to support you and your training.

While I do require you to purchase your session to secure your appointment time, we can discuss scholarships and/or payment plans for services for those in need.

Individual self-tape or coaching appointments will most likely not be approved for discounts or deferred payments.

The best self-tapes come being prepared with your audition material before you arrive. Think of it like you would an in-person audition—you should feel confident with the material, understanding the circumstances, and ready with choices for the character.

Coaching during a session is there to make your own choices more specific or active, and to adjust your performance for the self-tape.

If you feel like you need additional coaching before you film, please schedule an acting coaching session or package, and we can build your techniques and skills for self-taping.

Please arrive ready and warmed up for your auditions. I will request you send audition sides which require a reader, and any musical tracks if you are singing ahead of your session, so I am prepared to help you with your materials.

You’re welcome to bring multiple tops to choose from, otherwise wear whatever looks and feels best! Unless they request a full body shot, we likely won’t see below your waist. Avoid solid white and tiny pinstripes as they can be harder to light/can look weird on camera. 

Arrive with hair and make up ready. I recommend bringing some powder for shine, as sometimes the light can create more shine/reflection on the skin.

I operate my studio out of my home in North Seattle, in the Maple Leaf neighborhood.

For my family’s protection, I do not give out my exact address until I have vetted you and have secured payment for the service.

Once you have secured your session, you will receive a detailed confirmations with directions, parking/transportation information, and how to prepare for your appointment.

If you have a last minute request for a self-tape (less than 48 hours) I will do my best to accommodate you.

Please follow fill out the self-tape inquiry/scheduling form and include the date it’s due, and your availability.

New clients need to be vetted, so please share your actors access, website or social media as a proof of identity.

Please understand that I may have all appointment times filled up, and be respectful if I have to decline your request.
