Private Coaching
$30 per half hour
During your half-hour private session, I will work with you one-on-one to develop your acting skills. I'm happy to assist students as they prepare for Thespian/acting competitions, Tropicana Speeches, or any other performance opportunity. Each session is tailored to the students' needs. Activities can include technique exercises, character building activities, and rehearsal of material. Private sessions are also available for small ensemble work: two to four actors.
