For Coaching and Audition Prep, you can use Lesly Kahn & Company, Actor Training:
I have known of Lesly's quality work for over 3 years. You can do private coaching with coaches who are working actors. This includes individual audition and dialogue coaching as well as acting tutorials, on-set coaching and filmed coaching. Lesly has been obsessed with actors and acting ever since she put on her pink tutu and fell off a stage into the arms of a waiting audience at the age of three. Years later, in spite of steady work and a terribly-impressive-but-not-all-that-useful MFA from the Yale School of Trauma Drama, she started teaching acting in NYC and discovered an approach to actor training that blew her mind (primarily because it always worked and was not all that complex). Previously panic-stricken performers were suddenly confident, consistent, working actors. Twenty-odd years later, she is still at it. Ryan@LeslyKahn.com or call 323-210-3100 1/2 Hour and Hour appointments available.
