Audition Success Coaching January-May 2025

With so many important auditions coming up in June, I wanted to offer something for the audition-taker who would like COMPLETE training using all 3 elements from 6 Weeks to Finals. All coachings will be one-on-one and will take place at mutually agreed upon times in the month of May, either in person or via Zoom.   

This package includes:

Complete Preparation Price (3 hours total training): $350

This package is ONLY offered for May, 2025, and ONLY available to the first FIVE audition takers who register. If you are not interested in a package, but would still like help preparing for your audition, one-on-one coachings are still available through the end of May. Please see below, and register accordingly through calendly.
