Private Coaching Packages are designed for specific needs.

Denise spends many hours each week teaching and coaching young actors in person or via Zoom and Facetime. The main benefit? The student has her undivided attention. One-on-one sessions offer a personalized environment in which a performer can feel safe and free to express themself while taking risks to reach new personal heights. Through private sessions, Denise will be familiar with the performer, knowing their strengths and understanding how to improve their weaknesses. On-going individual training is essential to developing specific skills that might not be addressed in weekly group classes. Private coaching is a crucial tool for an actor’s professional growth and is highly recommended for actors who audition frequently or professionally.

AUDITION PREP

Audition preparation is about booking the job! 

Private coaching is a crucial tool for professional growth and acting mastery, and is highly recommended for actors who audition frequently or professionally.

These sessions focus on giving actors the confidence and skills needed to make interesting choices in their approach to specific material. In addition, actors must invest in the proper self tape equipment, and learn how to use it properly in order to submit a compelling audition.

I will coach you to..

• Understand and practice the essential skills and tools required to be successful in performing and auditioning for a role.

• Learn how to direct yourself, while living truthfully in the moment. This is accomplished through exercises, improvisation, and text.

• Develop specific skills and acting techniques through proven exercises, improvisation, and text work. 

• Develop a discipline for essential ongoing individual training to master areas of weakness (this could include dialect coaching, song coaching, and body language).

My one-on-one sessions offer each student a safe and personalized environment to feel free to express themselves to take risks to reach new personal heights. Single Sessions are available to new and existing students. However, it is strongly recommended that students begin with a Package of five sessions (30 or 50 minute packages are available) in order to get the most transformative results.
