​I believe everyone can act if they can be themselves unapologetically, and live fully in the here and now. No matter who you are or where life takes you, that ability is a gift to possess. I want to help people get there.


Through my knowledge of Classical Text Analysis, Clown Technique and Lee Strasberg's Method Acting Technique, I offer a varied approach to unlocking each students' instrument in their pursuit of truth, and freedom of expression. 

Let's play!

What I Offer:

I offer monologue coaching for Shakespearean and contemporary pieces. I have developed a simple system to help guide you towards an audition-ready performance through a fun and exploratory process.

I also offer workshops in on-camera acting for young professionals and students interesting in what it takes to work professionally as actors.

Testimonials:

I will be attending the Juilliard school this coming fall. Sophia was my mentor for the Gamm fellowship and she automatically understood what I needed as an actor and ways to overcome them. Last year we worked on my audition for Juilliard. I felt safe bringing my pieces to work on and she gave honest feedback that helped me tremendously. She understood I got very flustered before auditions. So she sat me down for 15 minutes going over relaxation exercises and also talked about how to own the room. I carry this tool to every audition now. I asked her to be my coach for this years' Juilliard audition and it went very well. I trusted everything she adjusted and she also asked me questions that allowed me to understand the circumstances of the characters. She went as far as connecting me with a student at Juilliard who further helped me find pieces. All this helped give me the tools to succeed in the audition and ultimately get accepted into the prestigious school.

"Sophia coached me on two Shakespeare monologues, and I absolutely loved working with her! She shared lots of valuable insight with me that helped me really dig into the text, personalize it, and connect with the characters on a deeper level. Her guidance helped me make lots of great discoveries in our sessions together, and I've been able to apply that guidance to lots of other pieces as well. I would work with her again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a monologue coach!"

"Sophia is a thoughtful and experienced coach who helped add life and value to the piece I was working on in just one session. Her experience makes her a powerful conduit for creativity and her compassionate nature an incredibly patient and understanding coach."
"I got a much deeper sense of the language of the piece I am working on, as well as the values of it. I got a clear path of next steps and a grounding in the physical demands of the piece."
- Jill Evyn (SAG Actor)

"Sophie immediately put everyone at ease. It was also apparent from the get-go that she was very experienced with the medium. Sophie was lovely and really so so helpful"

Biggest take-away is Shakespeare can be FUN! I learned there's lots of Surprises in his writings. Also going over everything chunk by chunk was definitely my speed and not overwhelming at all

Performing the piece a couple times with insight here and there definitely added genuine affection for the work. (She taught) New ways to approach the work. Connecting past personal stories relating to the piece
