I typically work with experienced actors who need a "third eye" in their interpreatation of a scene or full script for their character(s). I will work with beginning actors above the age of 18 if they are serious about learning the craft. My process starts with what you want to accomplish, you sending me the copy or script you are working on (I can provide one if you don't have one), then I send you suggestions of what to look for, you practice, we meet and go over, perform, tweak, discuss the scene. Working towards memorized scenes are best I find so the actor can free themeselves from the page and play with the words in their character choice with improvised ways of expressing that character.
I work primarily with experienced actors.
FInd out what you want (learn a character, interepretation of a scene, how to express transitional emotions, maintiaining conversatioal pace, etc.), what does the teacher offer, look at their background and fee structure, and make a decision.
One of my students told me recently how much I helped them to more easily express themselves within their character during auditions. I told her that she did it I didn't. I just gave her permission to play without judgement before the tweaks.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Why do you want to take acting lessons? To better express yourself in your job? Make a possible career of acting? Or if experienced, advice about interpretation and character study? How much time do you want to spend in this endeavor and can you time manage this endeavor?
