private coaching
These sessions are also used by working actors needing help with an audition, or for developing a character for an up coming project. Writers and directors have also used private sessions to help sharpen their ability to communicate with their talent.
Private coaching can also be used to help beginners. Acting classes can be difficult with a busy schedule and a bit intimidating, but are eventually a must if the actor is to move forward. One-on-one coaching sessions and acting lessons are available with Kirk.
