"I'd love to help you realize or refine your vision for your audition or support your exploration and expansion within a role you’ve already booked through running lines or rehearsal. I’ll share my intimate knowledge of the layers involved in crafting an outstanding self-tape and I can assist with text analysis, character choices, and backstory to give your work a unique and truthful foundation.
I bring knowledge of text in all genres, ground my work in solid character choices anchored in the imagination as well as the body, use a variety of vocal techniques to differentiate characters in a multi-person scene, and will help you play the music of the sides. I will support your journey as a unique artist so you can create your best work.”
