Hi! I'm Allyn and I've been teaching Public Speaking and Theatre in the classroom for thirteen years. I started as an actor, graduating from New York University with a BFA in Drama (and specializing in musical theatre). After years of working as an actor, producer, and theatre manager, I decided to go into the classroom. I then received my MA in Educational Theatre from New York University.

I love helping speakers develop their technical skills like vocal projection, eye-contact, emphasis, gestures, facial expressions, and emotion. But what I love most is helping to identify who people are as speaker: what makes them unique? What do they need to work on to evoke the intended emotions from their audience? What is their message and what is their most effective way to deliver it? As an experienced television actor, I also look at onscreen presence with a keen eye.
If you're heading out to college interviews, prepping presentations, getting ready to deliver a big speech at any sort of event, or wanting to work on a monologue (for a college audition or an audition for your fall school show), I'm here for you!
I'm happy to provide more details if you're interested!
