Hello! I have been a Voice and Speech teacher for over 20 years and have taught at the Raphael Kelly Shakespeare Studio, The American Academy of Dramatic Arts (AADA) at both the New York and Los Angeles campuses, as well as The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in New York City.
As an actor, I have performed in professional theatrical productions and commercials in New York, Los Angeles and Florida. I believe the principles of Voice and Speech that I apply to my own work have made me a better actor.
While my focus is primarily on helping actors achieve standard American speech, develop volume, clarity and stamina with proven techniques, the principles of voice and speech can be learned and applied by any individual in any industry who wishes to enhance their speaking voice.
I can customize a class specifically for you. If you are an an actor looking to achieve more vocal power, we may work on muscular activity and strengthening the muscles involved in speech and healthy vocal production, just like a dancer trains at the bar for strength, stamina and flexibility.
My students in a conservatory setting tended to be 18 to roughly 40 years old, however there is no age limit in my private classes.
If your goal is to reduce an accent, or you just want to focus on speaking more clearly, I'm here to help. As some actors may like coaching on speaking with an accent for a role, I can help with that too!
Feel free to reach out to me any time with any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you!
