- Having a Solid Technique – When you have a solid technique, you have a solid approach to the work. When you have no technique, anything and everything can happen – good and bad. It is important to have a technique to fall back on, otherwise you will be vulnerable to a bad day, a bad moment, or a distraction.
- Go Beyond Directing Yourself – Get an educated eye and direction to fulfill your full potential as an actor. Move past your blind spots. A good player relies on a coach to make them better. In sports, a good coach helps players go from high school junior varsity to varsity, college to pro, and pro to in-demand. A good player allows themselves to be given correction, coaching, and criticism. You may never see why you aren’t getting the call backs or the parts you want without having someone look from the outside. An acting coach can do that.
- You Don’t Have to Do it Alone – Having someone to work with benefits your auditions and performance. Have someone that helps you dig deep down. Have someone in your corner cheering you on. Whether it’s L.A., NYC, Atlanta, Austin, or another big city, it can be lonely. Though highly populated, it can be a place of crowded loneliness. Having an acting coach is like having someone to keep you accountable for auditions, demand the best performances from you no matter the circumstances, and help bring out aspects of characters and roles even you don’t realize exist.
- Learn How to Build a Profession – Gain the confidence for a seasoned professional at audition time or anytime. Acting, can be a job or it can be a professional career. The difference between the two is training. A vital part of training is coaching and having consistent feedback, constant opportunities for improvement. Do you want to be a professional that handles top jobs on a regular basis? Acting is a profession and an art form. The Actor is an artist and like any great artist they train, they prepare, and they rehearse or practice their art on a regular basis, NO MATTER WHAT.

A coach can help you build confidence and keep the actor accountable, with a professional approach to The Actor’s work.
