Coaching

I am primarily a performer, however, I occasionally get asked if I coach actors. I do!

I offer sliding scale ($75-90 / hr) private coachings either on Zoom, or in studio in midtown Manhattan.

I specialize in improving Shakespeare skills, and curating MFA and BFA audition packets. I approach a lot of this work from a Fitzmaurice Voicework perspective - free the body, free the voice, emphasis on playfulness and flexibility.

What you can expect from a coaching with me:
- curated recommendations of plays / monologues, suited to your skillset
- deep dives on technical Shakespeare stuff while freeing your natural voice
- flexibility suited to what you want to work on!

Because I’m not a full-time coach, I keep my studio pretty small. Please reach out if you’d like to work with me and we can schedule a session!

I am also adjunct faculty at AMDA here in NYC.

Teaching resume available upon request.

“I was applying to graduate school and looking to brush up on my monologues and self tapes. Soph jumped right in helping me organize what schools to focus on as well as preparing a strong variety of pieces to perform. I got into everywhere I applied and am very grateful for their coaching.” - Former Student

“Soph has not only given me confidence in my ability, but they have also equipped me with countless tools to work on my craft that I use every day.” - Former Student (now MFA at South Carolina)
