Christopher’s Coaching Philosophy

I want my students to always feel safe in a creative environment and leave our coaching feeling confident in knowing what they need to do to nail their next audition!  I want them to grow artistically and learn how to become a better actor/singer.  Remember, our songs are monologues!  Speaking of, I specialize in finding monologues and love dissecting them and diving in with intense script analysis work to build your character from the inside out.  And how do we do that?  With the TEXT!   We will work hard but laugh while doing it!  I love the college prep process but have also worked extensively in film and tv and I also enjoy audition prep for your next tv audition
