acting coach
“Rebecca’s the reason I got into AMDA! ”
As a performer, it’s so easy to get caught up in trying to be who you think directors want you to be. But really, they just want to see who you are. What makes you tick? Or laugh? What kind of weird are you? As a graduate of the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Theater with over 13 years of professional experience, I will give you tools to stay grounded, fresh, and honest in your acting. I will teach you techniques to tackle heightened and contemporary texts, as well as tips to enhance your on-camera performance. We will do this while embracing the weird and letting creative impulses fly, so you can become the most unfiltered and confident you. The next time you walk into an audition, you’ll feel excited, empowered, and ready to share your work with ease and authenticity.
More specifically, I can help with:
Monologues
Auditioning
Acting a Song
Shakespeare
Self-Taping (and studio use)
I also served as an adjudicator for prospective students auditioning for the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Program and have helped students with monologue selection, prescreen auditions, and in-person callbacks. My students have been accepted at notable collegiate acting programs such as The University of Minnesota/Guthrie Theatre, AMDA, Depaul, and The Institute of the Arts Barcelona.

“I have adored my time as Rebecca’s student. Through working with her, I have seen vast improvements in my work both on stage and on camera. Rebecca is a very receptive coach. She always finds new ways to approach our work together, and tailors her methods of teaching to me specifically. She keeps acting fun and exciting, allowing for passion and skill to develop simultaneously. She has been especially helpful throughout my college audition journey, providing insight at each step in the process. I truly couldn’t recommend her enough”
“Rebecca has helped me take my first steps into the world of professional acting. She has exposed me to so many different acting techniques and has provided unlimited resources when it comes to picking out audition materials. She is encouraging and passionate and I have loved learning from her the past four years.”
