Professional Actor • Theatre Educator
Drawing on her conservatory training, professional acting career, and experience working with young actors, Amber provides individualized guidance for students pursuing BFA, BA, and conservatory theatre programs.
Every student's path is different. Coaching is tailored to each student's goals, programs, deadlines, and audition requirements—from building a school list and selecting material to prescreens and final auditions.
Coaching may include:
Monologue Selection & Preparation
Audition Coaching
Prescreen Preparation
Musical Theatre Audition Preparation
College/Program Research
Audition & Unifieds Planning
Prescreen Video Editing
Application/Audition Requirement Tracking
Through my career as a professional actor, I've built relationships with working actors, directors, vocal coaches, choreographers and other theatre artists. When it would benefit a student's preparation, I bring trusted professionals into select coaching sessions, giving students the opportunity to work directly with artists in the field as they prepare for college auditions.
And when additional professional coaching would benefit a student's preparation, it's included—not an added expense.
