I have started doing private coaching thru SKYPE! I'm so excited to be living in this age of AMAZING technology! This works really well if you need private coaching and you're out of town, if you need to self-tape for an upcoming audition, you're on location, or just can't quite get yourself over to me in person!

If want to connect with me for a private coaching session for an upcoming audition, here's what you do:
1. Contact me ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) and make an appointment time and date.
2. Go to my PayPal account ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) and make a payment, $100 per hour session.
3. Get a SKYPE account and we'll exchange our username info.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
