My Approach as a Tutor:
Teaching Method and Techniques
My teaching method is a blend of experiential learning and personalized instruction. I believe that acting is best learned through doing, so my classes emphasize hands-on practice, real-world scenarios, and interactive activities.
Techniques I employ include:
Scene Study: Analyzing and performing scenes from plays, films, and television to understand character development, motivation, and relationships.
Improvisation: Encouraging spontaneity and creativity through improv exercises to build confidence and quick thinking.
Audition Preparation: Tailoring sessions to prepare students for specific auditions, including monologue coaching and cold reading techniques.
Voice and Movement: Incorporating voice modulation, accents, and physicality to enhance character portrayal and performance.
A Typical Lesson Plan:
A typical lesson plan is structured yet flexible to accommodate the unique needs of each student:
Warm-Up (10 minutes): Physical and vocal exercises to prepare the body and voice for acting.
Technique Training (20 minutes): Focused work on a specific acting technique or skill, such as improvisation or scene study.
Practical Application (20 minutes): Performing scenes or monologues, followed by constructive feedback and coaching.
Audition Prep (15 minutes): Working on audition materials or specific roles, with emphasis on delivering a polished and confident performance.
Wrap-Up (5 minutes): Review of the day’s work, setting goals for the next session, and addressing any questions or concerns.
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor:
My dual experience as an accomplished actor and a casting professional sets me apart. I bring insights from both sides of the audition table, offering students a comprehensive understanding of what casting directors look for. My teaching is grounded in practical industry experience, having worked on major TV shows, films, and commercials. This real-world perspective helps students navigate the acting world with confidence and professionalism.
Additionally, my personalized approach ensures that each student's unique strengths and areas for improvement are addressed. I provide tailored feedback and create a supportive environment where students feel empowered to take risks and grow as performers.
My lessons are designed for:
Aspiring Actors: Those who are new to acting and want to build a strong foundation.
Intermediate Actors: Individuals with some experience looking to refine their skills and prepare for professional auditions.
Advanced Actors: Seasoned performers seeking to deepen their craft and tackle more challenging roles.
Degree-Level Students: Acting students pursuing formal education who need supplementary training or audition coaching.
Specificities: My coaching can be tailored for film, television, theater, and commercial acting, ensuring relevance to each student's career goals.
By focusing on practical skills, personalized instruction, and real-world insights, my approach as a tutor equips students with the tools they need to succeed in the competitive world of acting.
Thanks for reading, and I can't wait to work with you!

As someone who as worked with Katie on both sides of the table I can honestly say that she is not only a prolific performer but also a caring and encouraging casting director. Her ability to pinpoint the needs of an actor to get the best from them is second to none.
