As coach, whether it is for a production or a client, I try to work both efficiently and empathetically — tailoring my methods to the needs of whoever is working with me in that particular moment of partnership.
With private clients, I address their concerns from clarity of speech to public speaking to preparing for an audition — whatever the client is looking for.
I regularly serve as the coach multiple productions in a year, providing whatever support is required. This can range from: overall vocal work for clarity and variety; text work for greater depth of connection and understanding; accent, dialect, or even foreign language coaching for multiple accents or languages in a single production; or sometimes I even provide movement coaching as well to help portray impediments or create character differentiation when an actor has multiple roles to play.
During the pandemic, we all found new ways of engaging in our artforms. We performed some of our productions for film, performed some of them masked, and converted some into radio plays/podcasts. I coached all of these new formats.
