Coaching Offered

Within my studio I focus on two coaching disciplines in order to meet the needs of pre-professional and professional performers and speakers.

  • Performers, I will support and collaborate with you in creating organic and artful performances for your auditions and callbacks, recitals and cabarets, theatrical engagements and on-camera work. I am committed to keeping my studio a positive and nurturing space for creative discovery. Performers, please see requirements below.

  • Corporate professionals, I will help you to embody presence, authenticity, and clarity in your presentations resulting in greater audience engagement through clear communication skills. Please click on this link to schedule a consultation.

Private Performance Coaching Philosophy and requirements

Ellenwood Studio feels that the best kind of coaching is collaborative in nature. In order to collaborate in harmony it is best to have a common set of vocabulary, tools, techniques, and outcomes. Ellenwood Studios is certified to instruct students in Estill Voice Training, Michael Chekhov Acting Technique, and the Alba Method and Emotional Regulation for Performers.

Coaching at the studio seeks to integrate these three approaches into a collaborative process for performance and presentation. For the best results, students should seek to be proficient in at least two of these methods before integrating them into professional goals with collaborative coaching assistance from the Studio.

Coaching is available (at the teacher’s discretion) for anyone who has taken group class offerings through Ellenwood Studios.

Students who have not taken group classes, and seek private one-on-one instruction and coaching at Ellenwood Studios, should have agent representation and/or union affiliation. Please click here to learn about the interview process.
