It's hard to believe that 6 years have passed since I officially launched Art & Soul Acting on October 26, 2010.
Happy Birthday

I am immensely grateful for my fabulous students and wonderful colleagues and friends along this path who have, indeed, touched my heart and my soul. You all inspire me continually!
Over these past 6 years Art & Soul Acting has offered:
- Acting Classes - since in 2011
- Private Acting Coaching - in person in NYC & online
- Book Club for Actors - now on our 35th playwright
- Book That Job Blog & e-Zine
- Summer Acting Intensive for Teens - since 2011
- College Prep Program
- Leap with Passion Workshop - going into our 9th year (this workshop began while I was teaching at the Elizabeth Browning Studio)
And I've been working on some exciting things for the near future that are currently under wraps, but I very much look forward to announcing soon.
Thank you again for being a part of Art & Soul Acting!

Delve deeper into the craft and business of acting with articles that break it all down and build you up.
It's easy to begin questioning everything when, as an actor, you hit the middle ground -- that murky, formless place that's beyond where you started but not quite where you want to end up. There is, however, power and purpose in that place -- here's how to find it.
Eek! The middle ground. That place that is no longer the beginning, but it certainly doesn't match the vision you held for yourself before you took the very first step forward. Back there, right around the first step, everything seemed so shiny and possible. The dream you recall was mammoth, but you felt energized and invigorated by it and everyone around you was cheering you on.
