Experienced tutor in Acting in Pine Bush, Lisa offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I have been working with Lisa for some time now. She's brought a level of professionalism to my efforts - through her relaxed, but exceptional teaching methods. She combines the best of personal attention with the expectations of a professional instructor - who not only teaches fact, reason, and process - but by encouraging emotion. Then, she makes clear - just where and how those emotions should be placed and spoken - within my work.

Lisa was a phenomenal teacher. Her empowering and insightful coaching pushed me to ground myself, to connect with my breath, to explore fearlessly, and to carve more specific actions. Our sessions together opened an authenticity that I had not yet found in my work

Lisa has transformed every piece I’ve brought to her. After leaving one of her coaching sessions, I always feel more confident to perform my material with the most exciting, truthful, and nuanced interpretation that Lisa helped me find.

isa is absolutely wonderful! She provides a safe, open environment for you to explore and play with zero judgment. Lisa's guidance during my graduate school audition process made the whole experience less daunting and less overwhelming. Through her warmth and generosity, I was taught to approach my work with fervor, joy, and heart. She works tirelessly to ensure that your audition pieces are right for you and that you are shining through each one. I walked into the audition room proud to share the work I had done with Lisa, confident that I was presenting the best version of me. There is no question that my acceptance into Brown University's MFA acting program would not have been possible without Lisa's brilliant insightful coaching.

Lisa believes infectiously in her students and her heart is gently and powerfully available. I find myself centered when I work with her, truly able to expand creatively and to find truth and beauty in ways I hadn't discovered before meeting her. The effects of her coaching live in me outside of the sessions as well, inspiring me to dig deeper on my own and expand on ideas discovered through work and conversation. The encouragement by Lisa to open and balance a little bit more each time has lead to discoveries that are genuine and full. She is a trustworthy guide who loves the work and gives permission to fall in love with it too.

Lisa is an amazing teacher and coach. From the moment she walks in the room, she creates an atmosphere that is supportive, professional, and fun. I feel like her classes are full of possibility. Her compassion for actors, her intelligence, and her leadership skills all create a space safe for risk, powerful dialogues, and personal growth. I've come to see her class as more than just a place to practice; it's an artistic home and a creative community where I can get back in touch with the reasons I got into this work in the first place. I cannot recommend her enough.

When Lisa Rothe teaches an acting class she channels the pedagogical genius of her teachers and mentors: Ron Van Lieu, Zelda Fichandler, Paul Walker. She is incisive and empowering at the same time. She projects internal calm as a teacher and inspires passionate energy from her students. Take her class. Change your life.

One of the greatest gifts Lisa Rothe has given me is the gift of letting go. She gave me the permission to leave myself alone and to just be. When I came to her, I was busy trying to be someone else. The someone who I thought everyone wanted me to be. Lisa taught me to be both confident in what I know and when faced with something I didn't know, to run fearlessly towards it. She allowed me to just breathe--both as an actor in this business and as a person living in this world. As August Wilson said: 'Before one can become an artist one must first be. It is being in all facets, its many definitions, that endows the artist with an immutable sense of himself that is necessary for the accomplishment of his task. Simply put, art is beholden to the kiln in which the artist was fired.' I am filled with immense gratitude towards Lisa and will always feel in her debt.

Lisa was a huge help in preparing me for my first lead role in a film. By an odd turn of events I found myself cast in a lead role in a film in Afghanistan by a very famous Afghan director. The missing part for me is that I had not acted in many years. Lisa's name came to me through a friend and Lisa was kind enough to take me into her class and work with me to loosen up whatever part of me thought I could still do this. She is incredibly open and perceptive and has just the right balance of support and force to make me feel comfortable while at the same time challenging myself. It all worked out really well as far as the film and her class gave me the confidence to trust myself while I was on the set and had no acting teacher except the merciless Afghan desert.

Lisa coached me for a few film roles. Since you don't have the benefit of rehearsal in film, everything has to be prepared and worked on ahead of time, and you have to be ready to roll with whatever happens on the day. Lisa helped me delve into the specifics of the character and also guided me towards a practical set of circumstances to put in my belly on set so that the scenes could soar over and over again. She inspired me to be brave enough to dig deeper, and all the while she made me feel safe. Her gentle, grounded intelligence and her obvious passion for the creative process made my collaboration with her invaluable.
