Breaking Through the Fear . . . What You Can Expect
Imagine yourself in the audition room free of all fear. Present and calm your creativity soars as you find yourself playful, connected, and energized.
I want this for you and I know this is possible.
I know you can spend weeks, months or even years learning in an acting class, but be secretly holding onto your fears or hiding the best bits of yourself for all that time.
This can be crippling to your career as an actor.
What I've learned is that it is never too late to break through this "mask" of fear and self-doubt. We can hold ourselves back for a lifetime . . . and then simply let ourselves go in a day.
Over the last seven years, I've worked with hundreds of artists in workshop intensives where I combine coaching with a safe container of community and witnessed breakthrough after breakthrough of the artists that attend.
And I sincerely hope that you will join me at one of the upcoming Break Through the Fear: Audition & Performance Lab Intensives in San Francisco or Los Angeles so that you can be the next.
In this hands-on experiential workshop,

"At first it scared me. Or should I say terrified me. But I found the exercises leading up to the final group encounter and the group itself phenomenal in providing tools, safe spaces, encouragement, release so that performing in front of the group was actually amazing even as the process was incredibly challenging." (workshop participant)
