Let Your Best Shine Through

 

Certain markets can be competitive—such as marketing and advertising, filmmaking, producing, online sales, acting, or public relations. Video appearances are also becoming a staple of most advertising efforts. You simply may not have time to rehearse and practice 10-20 hours a week, or know how to engage an audience or pitch a great product. I provide strategies for tackling even the most demanding project or industry, working closely with you to bring out your very best!

 

Enhance Your Strengths

 

Anyone who engages in public speaking or presents themselves to an audience can benefit from acting coaching. Cold feet be gone! Whether you’re a CEO or a first-time actor hitting the audition circuit, I’ll bring out the best in you. I instruct a broad and diverse clientele, including:

 

• Actors and musicians

• CEOs, managers, and executives

• Small business owners

• Trial attorneys

• Non-profits

• Employment seekers

• Job interviewees

• Politicians

• Film producers

• Anyone seeking crowd funding

 

Our one-on-one sessions will emphasize your inherent strengths and foster confidence.

Public speaking can be daunting, even anxiety provoking. The exercises I use are specifically designed to put you at ease, teach you valuable skills, and allow you to have fun!

 

These include:

Would you rather lock yourself in a room than face a film or video camera? Or, are you looking to boost your comfort level with a media presentation? These fears and anxieties of public speaking are common. The skills I teach to combat these fears are ones you’ll use for years to come. They’re invaluable in any situation where clear, poised, and focused communication is key.

• Preparing for the camera

• Fielding audience questions

About Me

 

I’ve been a professional stage and screen actor in the Bay Area and Massachusetts for over 17 years, and a casting associate for nine years. My mission is to help the “average Joe” public speaker turn their presentation into a knockout tour de force. I’m adept at identifying and highlighting my clients’ unique strengths while developing their areas of improvement. We’ll work together to make you feel more comfortable and confident speaking publicly or on-camera. Whether you want to hit your mark in a speech, pitch to an investor, fundraise for a cause, or gain confidence speaking to clients at work, I’m here to help bring out the best in you.

 

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
