One-On-One Training – Private Coaching and Career Consultations

Respond anytime.  This is an ongoing service.

Private Coaching
Getting better at something takes hard work and guidance.  If you are looking to level-up your skills, I’d like to help.

My goal is to establish a working environment of trust where actors not only have faith in the guidance they receive but also trust in themselves and their preparation when doing the work.

Areas of focus for coaching sessions can include but are not limited to: 

• Creating an acting process
• Building on your existing skills
• Improving your on-camera audition technique
• Preparing for an audition
• Developing a role you booked
• Working on your monologue portfolio
• Transitioning to film and episodic work
• Personalizing your acting

Career Consultations
If you’re stuck in a creative rut, or need an assist with planning a path to success, I’m here to help.

I work with actors to assess where they are in their training or career and where they would like to be.  From there we set realistic goals and outline a path to achieve those goals.

Areas of focus for consulting sessions can include but are not limited to:

• Dealing with career transitions
• Defining your type
• Preparing for a headshot shoot
• Putting together your self tape set-up
• Marketing to agents and preparing for agent meetings
• Exploring options for continued training
• Preparation for moving to a new market

Coaching and Consulting sessions are usually scheduled for one hour, at $50 per hour.  If you are interested in scheduling ongoing sessions (8 or more) we can discuss a discounted rate.

I have experience working with actors at the professional, college, high school and middle school levels, and am ready to challenge and inspire you.

Reach out via this form to schedule a session, or with any questions.  I am happy to talk about my approach. 

CEL Studio helps actors achieve their career goals with impactful training, type specific headshots, professional self taping, and coaching and consulting.  More at celstudio.com.
