Private Coaching with Casting Director and Acting Coach with over 25 years experience in film/television/theatre - Audition Preparation, Acting Technique, Performance, Career Development.

I run a boutique theatrical management company located in New York City; I conduct business all over the country, with clients who have worked or are working in feature films, episodic TV and on Broadway. I've known Alison for over twenty-five years, from her first internship to becoming a casting director and coach.

Over the last twelve years I've observed Alison teaching classes and she is amazing. She is all about catching and solving problems that actors don't even realize they have. She is kind yet direct. She discusses how to present themselves, how to boost their confidence. My clients have taken classes with her and some have been coached privately by her. She has an empathetic connection with the actors that encourages them to stretch their capabilities and take chances with no fear. The actors that can do this are the ones that succeed.

There are so many aspects to this industry and it is very competitive. Alison is like an encyclopedia of information about our industry. This kind of information will really help the kids who are just starting out and save them years of time lost. It would be so valuable for students coming out of university and conservatory programs, as well as actors who are already pursuing their careers, to work with her.

I'm a professional actress who's been training with Alison for about a year. When I started I just wasn't getting as many callbacks as I wanted. Alison has been very supportive. She's really helped me to take my character development and preparation to the next level. Her direction and advice are always specific to me and her insights into the industry are invaluable. I have more confidence in my work and I'm beginning to get more callbacks ... and a few more bookings.
