COACHING
“Ash gives her students myriad tools that allow them to maintain their artistic integrity and grow as a performer. She has such a fun, vibrant energy and creates an amazing space for people to grow. ”
— RAINA B, COLLEGE FRESHMAN
I love working with students at all levels of development. From eager elementary age students, to high schoolers on the precipice of college, to undergrads looking to make the leap to the professional world or to the rigor of graduate training.
I offer personalized attention using a variety of tools accrued from my years of training and professional experience, tailoring my approach to each individual student and their needs. Together we identify impediments and strengths, and discover what their keys are-how do YOU enter into the work in an authentic, grounded way? How do YOU play?
I teach with straightforward but inspired language designed to help spark imagination, guiding us away from calculated choices and towards spontaneous behavior.
I work with actors, singers, musical theater performers, and people who’d simply like to cultivate more confidence and presence in their own lives. In addition to one on one teaching, I also teach master classes in solo performance and can assist in self producing. For more information on my range of teaching experience, check out my resume below.
“Ash is one of the kindest, clearest and detailed instructors I have worked with. She is really good at bringing out your personal voice in a piece, and is always clear in her direction. Every time we work together I feel so much more prepared. Ash has helped me get accepted into a couple of amazing theater programs. I’m really grateful for her!”
— LILY B, HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR
Ash is a great coach. She helps you with everything you need to get ready for an audition or helps you just brush up on your acting skills while making it super fun. She has a great relationship with her students and really pushes them in the right direction so they can get to where they need to go. Thanks to her I was accepted into the Theatre program at Oakland School for the Arts.”
-Luke H, High School Freshman
“Ash has a focused eye for the things that will take your audition to the next level. her wealth of knowledge and tools she offers help you approach your material in ways you hadn’t considered thus deepening your performance. i could not recommend someone more capable to guide you on your acting journey, whether you need a quick session for that upcoming audition, or a mentor as a younger artist trying to find their way into the industry.
