To be a successful artist takes preparation, passion, and perseverance. The same is true for any public speaking. Emphasizing these principles while understanding the uniqueness of the actor, singer, and filmmaker, helps us shape the next generation of storytellers. This is what we do -- one on one.

Acting/College PortfolioPreparation
A student actor should have a minimum of 4 contrasting monologues prepared: a comedic and dramatic contemporary, a classic, and a classical monologue. Each monologue will be customized to fit the personality and interest of the young actor and be specific to what the colleges like to see. Each actor will study the monologue and its play in depth, utilize various acting techniques, learn character analysis, and understand the art of telling a story through another character.
For an extra fee, we will shoot, edit and prepare filmed auditions to be sent to colleges. Prices for video production range from $50-$125 depending on the shoot being during class sessions or booking a session for just preparing the pre-screen filmed auditions.
We suggest a minimum of 4 sessions to help prepare a portfolio of diverse acting techniques.

Voice
The singer will be taught to understand the fundamentals of singing and include breath control, accessing the head voice, enhancing pitch sense, strengthening their range, and most importantly, protecting the changing teenage voice. As the student advances technique will be more advanced, along with working on specific song choices that will enhance the process of strong vocal and character development.
The middle division student will work on learning to deal and protect the changing voice. The emphasis on both middle division and high school will be on telling a story through music. A minimum of 3-4 sessions is suggested to being to understand technique.

Focus Training through Participation in the Performing and Visual Arts
Using visual arts and creative drama technique will help the child balance between listening and doing. Participation in the process oriented arts improves children’s abilities to concentrate and focus in other aspects of their lives. The child will learn how to better focus by being allowed to take risks, make and correct mistakes, persevere in improving their ideas, problem solve, and develop critical thinking skills.
If the goal is for the child participation in a formal drama production, audition requirements will be developed through the input of the child understanding the story. Their interpretation through music and monologues that match the child's curiosity with the demands of the formal play in which they will participate will be enhanced.
