Voice & Dialect Coaching Resumé
ACTING COACHING
Perhaps you are getting ready for the grad school auditions? Maybe you
need more help preparing for your role before faced with an audience?
Have you always secretly dreamed of acting but didn't know where to begin?
I'd love to help you. I am an MFA graduate from the American Repertory Theatre
at Harvard University and the Moscow Art Theatre School (www.amrep.org), a
Ford Mellon Foundation Recipient, a member of the Actors Equity Association
and VASTA, and was just presented with both a Helen Hayes Award and
an Ushers' Award for Best Actress for my performance of The Syringa Tree,
a one-person, 24 character play. My teaching is based primarily on the work of
Catherine Fitzmaurice.
I am also available for dialect coaching.
Don't leave that audition or show knowing you could have done better, and never
walk away from your dream!
