Teaching Approach:

My aim is to help you achieve your goals through the lessons. I will guide, support and work with you throughout your journey offering "Acting" and "Voice" classes tailored towards your specific needs.

Having its foundation on the Stanislavski System, the Acting classes were designed to help you build a better, active and creative relationship with the script as well as create an analytical eye to collect the right information you need to work on the scene. Ideal for actors at all levels. Suitable for anyone who wishes to develop a better understanding of the text/script.

The Vocal Technique classes have the Alexander Technique as the base of its work, a mindful approach that helps you create a healthier and more confident relationship with your voice. The classes were developed not only for actors and performers but foremost for any professional who have an extensive use of their voice on their daily activities such as teachers, business professionals, podcasters, **Contact Detail Removed**rs, directors and anyone with and interest in their voice.
