Whether you are going in for an audition, building a presence on social media, or preparing a business presentation, I'm a nurturing and perceptive acting coach who can help you stand out authentically.

As a professional actor and theater director with years of experience, I've taught both classical and contemporary acting at UCLA's MFA program, USC, UC Riverside, Antaeus Academy, American Academy of Dramatic Arts, A Noise Within, Shalhevet School, and Hollywood High School Performing Arts Magnet.

If you are applying to college theater programs, I can help you select monologues that are not over-used, and that bring out your strengths as an artist. I've watched literally hundreds of auditions, so I have a strong understanding of what college programs are looking for and what makes actors stand out. My goal is to help you create a polished, dynamic audition that shows your range and inner light. For you to shine with joy as a person, while revealing the vulnerability that makes you an effective storyteller.

I also coach youth and adult actors to book TV, film, and theater work. I've worked with social media influencers on tapping into what makes them authentic and passionate, so they create an intimacy with the viewer and trust their natural charisma. I've also worked with journalists on honing their professional demeanor and speaking with immediacy and truth.

I earned my MFA in Acting from UCLA. I am an award-winning actress and director who has worked at South Coast Rep, the Taper, Pasadena Playhouse, Antaeus Company, Strasberg Institute, Classical Theater Lab, the Getty Center, Road Theater, Theatre 40, Ivy Substation, Wilshire Ebell, Met Theater, and many musical theater workshops. I direct the Antaeus Playwrights Lab, and am also a session singer.

We can have a consultation so I can answer any questions, and then meet to get started!

Just fantastic experience

I worked with Emily on my play-in-progress. She brought the perspectives of both an actor and a director to the material, which were critical to me as a playwright in making revisions. Her comments and suggestions were insightful and helpful. She's an absolute pleasure to work with and I can't recommend her highly enough.

Super professional!

Emily is a super tutor on theater performances based on her professional career and first-hand experiences in both sides of auditions. Her coaching is accurate, concrete, and thorough with an encouraging style. I would recommend her anybody who is going to get an audition or goes after the next level in theater performance.

Very helpful in providing training to boost up my performance in the last minute!

Emily helped me with my urgent request one day before my performance. She is able to point out the areas of improvement immediately and helped me to tailor my performance in a short period of time. I am impressed how my talking and styling improved in an hour. I had a successful performance and thank you so much Emily!

Great teacher!

Emily was great helping my daughter prepare for an audition, strengthening her confidence not only in her preparedness to this specific audition but in her acting abilities in general, and helping her understand and connect to the character that she was playing.
