PRIVATE COACHING
Private acting coaching is helpful for a variety of reasons.
Some have exciting audition opportunities that they want to be really prepared for.
Others might need to put down a self-test and would rather do it with a coach who can ensure they're giving their very best performance and sending their very best takes.
Many coach simply to practice, to focus on a particular aspect of their process or craft they want to strengthen, build up a repertoire of work they can show agents, directors or casting directors, or to gain more confidence in front of the camera, on stage or in the audition room.
At Acting Mastery, we’re proud to offer private acting coaching with some of the best acting coaches in Sydney, who are award winning, professional, working actors and directors themselves.
