get Coached
James holds an MFA from American Conservatory Theater along with over a decade's worth of additional
training and experience both with stage and film work. Each coaching session will be tailored to the specific actor's needs.
Auditioning: we will work to break down your sides and help you make strong, honest choices to prep your for your big audition.
Monologue: we will work on current pieces or select new monologues for future auditions as well as work them to bring yourself to the work. Casting Directors are looking to meet you and hear what you're interested in saying as an artist. We will work to bring your authentic self to the pieces you choose, this includes contemporary and classical work.
Conservatory Prep: whether you're applying to a BFA, MFA, or other professional training program, James can help you prepare for this leg of your actor's journey. We will work together to select pieces that best showcase you, research the right programs for you, and to write an essay that lets the selection committee get a glimpse of you and your goals.
