All You Can Act – for everyone, actor or not: define your role, on stage and beyond

Short-Term and Results-Oriented

Whether you're preparing for an audition, applying to a drama school, or refining your English pronunciation for an international self-tape, my one-on-one acting coaching will ensure you are thoroughly prepared.

Long-Term and Development-Oriented

Whether you're looking to explore a character more deeply, grappling with recurring challenges like stage fright, or seeking support to find your place in the (acting) world, I will guide you in discovering what you need to find stability and grounding. My approach is trauma-sensitive and focused on both actors and non-actors who are looking for growth, confidence, and direction.

The skills that actors apply can be useful in various professional and personal contexts. Speak with conviction and make an impact!
