Private Acting Coaches

If you are looking for additional training, you might consider a Private Acting Coach. They offer individual coaching to prepare for an audition, assistance in selecting audition pieces, review of your resume, or advice about your headshots.

The catch is that Private Acting Coaches can be expensive. Before you pay for these type of lessons, include your family in the decision making process. It is good to have someone else hear the sales pitch of the coach, and possible observe your first lesson.

Don't forget that you are the boss. You are paying for this coaching and you need to feel that it is worth your money.

Consider the following things in selecting an acting coach:

Ask how the coach was trained in acting.
- Certified as a theatre educator
- Certifications/Degrees in theatre or film
  - Training Programs/Conservatory
  - Bachelor Degree (BA/BFA)
  - Masters Degree (MA/MFA)
  - Doctorate (PhD)
Ask what professional work the coach has done.
- Broadway/Off-Broadway/Regional Theatre/National Tours
- Major Films/Television
Ask for references from current or former students.
And finally, ask for a free initial coaching session to determine if you and the coach are a good fit for each other.
