When working with a new student, I simply take some time to get to know them. What are their interests in acting? Are they looking to work in theatre, film, commercials, or maybe all three? Who are their acting influences? What styles or methods have they studied? I basically want to know why they have sought me out, so I can provide them with the skills they are looking craft.
I've worked with actors of all ages at every grade level, including the college and university levles. I've also taught adult classes and professional workshops.
A student should always seek out a teacher who can adapt to their style of learning. Acting is not an exact science. There is no one way to do it. Any acting teacher that tells you there is only one way, is wrong.
I have led the Millikan Drama Production program to consecutive 1st place finishes at the Drama Teachers Associaton of Southern California Drama Festival, since being hired by the Los Angeles Unified School District two years ago.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
1. Am I aware of my own strengths and weaknesses?
2. What do I want this acting teacher to offer me?
3. Am I prepared to commit to private lessons?
