I know Lisa as an actress and I can tell you this: she is a force of nature and a seismic talent. Acting with Lisa is a liberating, exhilarating experience. Is there a word for the state of being simultaneously comfortable and electrified? Lisa is such a great gorgeous gust of humanity! One is swept into Lisa's field and carried, while always aware of her acute sensitivity to the truth of any moment, and her quicksilver attention to that truth. She delights in plumbing the depths of the story; and while profoundly energized, she is quiet in her heart, listening for the truth of any given moment.

When it comes to teaching a summer theater intensive, finding the perfect leader with the right temperament, energetic spirit, and ability to motivate isn't as easy as it seems. Lisa was the ideal mentor in every way. The work she did with the Madison Theater actors was specific, challenging, a ton of fun, and exceeded my expectations in every way. Daily, she was the perfect illustration of professionalism and collaboration. She achieved the ultimate goal - making them succeed and above all else, feeling free enough to shine.

Working with Lisa is game changing! She creates the warm environment necessary for creativity and effortlessly guides you to bring your authentic self to the character so you can ace the audition. She is incredibly intuitive and knows which tools to personally give each actor to help them bring the best version of themselves into the audition....not only for the character but also to help us connect to the casting reps in the room. She's amazing!

"Every time I leave a coaching with Lisa I feel encouraged, enlightened, and empowered. She has helped me to dig deeper and be specific with my acting in a way that no other coach has. She knows how to relate to characters and scripts in such a personal way and easily communicates that to her actors so that they too feel emotionally invested. Not only is she a brilliant coach, but she also understands the business. Lisa has given me extremely helpful career insight into the audition world and industry of acting. She coaches you in such a way that your upcoming audition will stand out from the rest. After coaching with her for a recent audition, I felt more confident and grounded in the room than I ever had before… and I received a callback! I know it was because of Lisa!"

"Lisa is absolutely amazing! I worked with her for the first time via a reference from another coach. Not only did she make me feel right at home and encouraged me to be creative with a piece I felt I knew very well, she also supported different choices and I got my first Broadway callback after coaching with her! She always helps me look at things differently and I feel like she speaks my language. She is bold and engaging in her teaching and allows her students to take risks while being so smart with her suggestions and insights. I love working with Lisa and won't ever have another big audition without coaching with her first!!!!"
