Why actors book coaching
Build the tools before the audition is on the line.
You do not need a current audition or an approaching deadline to book coaching. Regular sessions give us time to explore material, strengthen your process and develop a shared working language. When an important audition does arrive, we can get to the work faster and more effectively.
01
Develop your process.
Practice making specific, playable choices without the pressure of an immediate deadline.
02
Build a working dialogue.
The more we work together, the more quickly we can identify what you need and apply useful adjustments.
03
Explore new material.
Bring a scene you want to work on, or ask Eric to select material based on what you want to strengthen.
04
Prepare a current audition.
When something is due, use the process we have built to make stronger choices more efficiently.
What we work on
Specific material. Practical adjustments. A repeatable process.
The goal is not to hand you a performance. It is to help you make stronger choices and understand why they work.
- Circumstances and relationships
- Playable action and behavior
- Scene structure and beats
- Taking and applying adjustment
- Auditions and monologues
- A process you can use again

Questions before you book
Coaching FAQ
Is coaching available in person or on Zoom?
Both. Choose the format that works best for you when you book.
Do I need to bring my own material?
Not necessarily. You may bring an audition, scene or monologue you want to work on, or ask Eric to select material based on what you want to explore or strengthen.
How do I choose between 60 and 90 minutes?
Choose 60 minutes for one focused scene or issue. Choose 90 minutes for multiple scenes, complex material or deeper adjustment work.
Does coaching include filming?
No. Coaching and audition taping are separate bookings. Coaching is for the performance. Taping is for recording prepared work.
Is this the same as career strategy?
No. Coaching addresses the acting and the material in front of you. Career Strategy examines the larger pattern, including materials, positioning and priorities.
