Bringing the Spirit of Michael Chekhov into the 21st Century!

Coaching is just a phone call away! It is easy. Here's how it works:

 

1. Call or email Lisa to arrange a time. Sessions are one hour or longer as needed. Before calling, have a clear idea on your goal.

Here are some examples:

*     Get me ready for my audition please!

*     I need new headshots or marketing advice?

*     My nerves just ruin my auditions- can you help me manage my energy?

*     I have booked a job and would love some help creating the role in atruly unique way?

*     I am thinking of moving to LA, what do I need to know?

*     I want to pursue a career in acting, directing, producing, how do I get started?

Once we identify your goals in the session, Instructions for how to prepare will be given to you. This may include emailing or faxing scripts, audition sides, links to headshots and resumes, etc. in advance or just prior to the coaching.

2. For the coaching, find a quiet room with a speaker phone, some space to move a little bit, note pad or tape recorder and have all materials handy that we might need. If coaching for an audition, have the shoes you think you might want to wear. Make a list in advance of anything you want to be sure to cover.

3. The Fee is $75.hour or $100/90 minutes. Payment can be made by credit cards or in advance by check or money order sent to 6101 Iron Horse Dr., Ft. Worth Texas 76148.
