About Shannon
In addition to teaching, I am a theatre and film/tv actress in the NYC area, which provides me with relevant and up-to-date info I can pass on to my students. I have been teaching private lessons in acting, musical theatre, audition technique, and college auditions for 5 years now, and I have seen my students have incredible success. I graduated from one of the top BFA programs in the country, and I worked as an assistant in casting the incoming freshman for the program. This experience gives me exclusive knowledge about what college programs are looking for to pass onto my students.
I also specialize in helping students with the professional audition process as well. This includes the recent move to self-tapes our business has made with COVID!

Hello there! My name is Shannon Haskell, and I am a professional actor based in New York City. During my 15+ years of experience in this business, I have been able to curate a curriculum for my students to navigate the ins and outs of the theatre AND film world. I have been teaching private lessons for around 5 years now, and my students have been able to book live theatre, films, and hone their audition technique with my help! I also specialize in assisting those auditioning for college programs put their best foot forward in the audition process.
What sets me apart:
- 15+ years of acting and music experience
- 5 years teaching experience
- 3 years working as a casting assistant to one of the nation's top BFA Acting and Musical Theatre Programs
- My love for my students!
Lessons will be specific to each student, but a typical curriculum will involve
- Developing a personalized warm up (Linklater influenced)
- Exploring multiple acting techniques in order to add to the actor's "toolbox" (Stanislavsky, Hagen, Meisner, Practical Aesthetics, etc)
- Script and character analysis
- Vocal and physical health
- Audition technique
- Discovering each individual's path in acting
It is my hope that all of my students can learn important skills relevant to the business while explore who they are as an actor!

Shannon is a wonderful teacher! She pays attention to all of my needs and helps me to be a more successful actor. I highly recommend her!
Shannon is an incredible voice teacher and performer herself! I am also a voice teacher and she has even taught me certain techniques/warmups/etc. that I didn’t know (and that helped tremendously)! If you want a positive and helpful teacher that will also push you to be your best self, Shannon is the one for you.
Shannon has an eye for what makes a performance stand out. She is incredibly specific and gives tangible tools to shape whatever piece you're working on. She is honest with you but not without helping you through roadblocks in the process. I wish I could have Shannon coach every self tape session that I do. She easily takes my work in directions I would have never thought of before. It's exciting and rewarding to work with her. I highly recommend studying with her at any level.
I’ve known and worked with Shannon for over five years in a variety of different settings. She never fails to impress me with her dedication and attention to detail. She maintains an expert balance of professionalism and warmth, making all those around her strive to do better with their own work. Both well prepared and incredibly adaptable, she is capable of leading others, without ever encroaching on their own artistic process. She is direct, sincere, and focused. I couldn’t have asked for a better collaborator or instructor.
