Coaching for
Young Actors
I create a safe and engaging space for young performers to
expand their craft through comprehensive character development and audition technique. Classes will be held online via Zoom and kept small so that the actor gets individual attention and guidance on their work. I can't wait to work with you!

Character Development
We'll strengthen your process of creating of a character and breaking down a script. Our focus will be developing your most authentic performance by utilizing imagination and personal experiences while staying true to the character, making you a master storyteller!
Audition Technique
We will learn to work comfortably in front of the camera to give you the confidence to conquer your auditions. By creating a simulated casting environment, you will be able to focus on making choices through your knowledge of character development and let go of any tension to really show off your skills!

"Danielle's teaching and guidance has left an indelible mark on me and my growth as an actor. She has a vast knowledge of the craft and understands how to communicate complex ideas and techniques to adolescents in a manner that is engaging, informative and fun. She is patient and genuinely cares about her students. I would strongly recommend her to guide any young and developing actor.”
