About Olivia
I have a deep love and connection for what I do, and I also love connecting with people, which is why I teach! I have been training and living the active lifestyle of an artist since I was fourteen years old, and I began my first teaching job at sixteen for a theatre summer program. I then spent even more time training in acting first on a mountain in the woods (yes you can ask me about that) and then in New York City. I now act professionally in the LA market and continue my own training (as you can never stop learning) with an LA-based Acting studio.
I take a very nurturing approach to my students that allows room for self-discovery, growth, and creativity. I truly love to watch the artists I work with progress and make self-discoveries as they work. My approach to this is to A) Reconnect you to your artistry/artistic spirit, B) Give you techniques to be in the moment at a much higher rate than you began with, and C) Grounding techniques to bring yourself to a solid and trusting place as you navigate your artistic journey.

Acting auditions, whether for stage or screen can feel like a daunting experience. And trust me, it is normal to wonder about things like "Am I even what they want?" or "Why am I so disconnected from my piece in such an important moment?"
My approach to this is to A) Reconnect you to your artistry/artistic spirit, B) Give you techniques to be in the moment at a much higher rate than you began with, and C) Grounding techniques to bring yourself to a solid and trusting place with your self before even walking into the audition room.
I stray away from strong textual analysis and instead take an approach involving vivid character visualization, physical technique, and freedom. Furthermore, I strongly believe in nurturing fellow artists bringing out your unique qualities as an individual, and allowing room to naturally progress and grow through self-exploration as an artist, as opposed to pushing one to an extreme point to be a "perfect actor."
If you are a student preparing for your school, summer program, or college auditions, or a newer actor who is trying to understand and find comfort in your audition process, this is the space for you! I also provide coaching on headshot preparation, self-branding, and industry information.

I worked with Olivia for many years and have learned a great deal from her. She always spends quality time helping her students perform their best work and gives very insightful feedback. She is well versed in acting techniques and knows how to critique in an impactful, yet respectful, way. I know that I have grown as an actor from her lessons and I cannot wait to receive her advice on projects in the future.
Olivia is absolutely amazing at bringing my acting auditions from C material to A+ material that is competitive with everyone else in LA. She constantly pushes me to dive deeper into characters and make higher stakes choices. I always know I can to go her when I need help.
I really like working with Olivia! As a current professional in the industry, Olivia can give up-to-date advice on what the industry is looking for and doesn't hesitate to share that knowledge with her students. Her classes are very specific, attentive, and you can see she genuinely cares about her students and their success. Olivia helps with whatever material you need for the day, and helps guide you to a performance that feels authentic, connected to you and proud of. Many of the things I've learned in her lessons, I've applied to other auditions and shows as well. I'm definitely looking forward to working with her again.
