Are you looking for coaching and/or self-tape help?
I have been a working actor for 30 years so I understand the demands and requirements for a good audition. Trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (LA), HB Studios (NY), and a former member of the SAG-AFTRA Conservatory committee, I know what the industry expects.

I am available for remote coaching as well as in-person self-tape sessions. My equipment and editing skills are top notch. If you work with me, I will help you achieve the best possible audition. Several of my early clients have already booked roles in feature films and on major tv shows. Personally, I have booked 13 co-star roles in just the last couple of years since returning to LA, as well as lead roles in several independent shorts.
Testimonials
  • "Prior to working with Kevin, I had not booked any TV work. After having Kevin coach me and record my auditions, I’m working regularly. I just needed the extra support of his guidance, reading skills, and technical experience to really showcase what I can do. Having him work with me takes all the pressure off of having to worry about the tech, and just let’s me do my job as an actor. Can’t recommend him enough."

Contact/Schedule
  • Please go to the Contact tab and send me a message. I try to reply within 1-2 hours. I look forward to working with you AND getting you booked!! As I always remind myself, there are enough roles for all of us! The deciding factor for an actor is persistence and being prepared when the opportunity arises!​
