Teaching

I opened my own acting studio in Miami... and my students are succeeding at an accelerated rate... I'm very proud of myself and their success... it feels good to do something creative that is actually making a difference in the lives of others... After over 25 years as a professional in the industry it was feeling like a JOB to get on stage... actually being on stage was incredible always and will always be... it's where I feel most alive... but everything that went with it... the cast members, the crew, the stage managers, company managers just the people we're not my speed... I felt like I was surrounded by evil and it made for a very miserable experience in every production and every show and my religion my performance was tainted and the joy was constantly being sucked out... I wanted to really stay creative but for me to find the fun in it again... thankfully my husband inspired me to teach which is something I've always wanted to do. The unique and interesting thing about how I work with my students is that we work together on not just the acting but the actor themselves... I teach my students to be fearless, confident, and to empower themselves... they learn about the reality of the business and I prepare them for what they really will face in an audition, working on a set, in a stage show... it's amazing to have students come to class and say "it was exactly like you said and I felt so prepared" and for them to be CONFIDENT and learn to have control over the insecurities from taking over and defeating their goal.

I just love love love inspiring others. I've turned some gigs down this year... for the first time in a few years... I remember when I turned down the Jesus Christ Superstar National tour and everyone thought I was insane because I had wanted it so bad for so long and it was a lot of money. But I was at a burnt out stage at that point and I followed my heart and a great blessing was answered. A diagnosis to some long time suffering that changed my life forever and opened more doors in the long run of my  life and my career. So again... my point of this blog... follow your heart, do what makes YOU truly happy, never half step or half ass your own happiness... and

come take class.
