Arianna Gayle
About
My name is Arianna Gayle, and I'm a Broadway and TV actor, Juilliard MFA graduate, and teaching fellow at Patrick Page Studio. I am based in New York City. With training in over 10 countries, I believe acting helps us understand each other as human beings; and love to expand that love of acting into my practice as a teacher.
Teaching Style
Train with a Juilliard MFA, Broadway actor, and global artist. I offer elite, personalized coaching rooted in world-class technique, real industry experience, and deep mentorship; designed to unlock your unique voice and elevate your craft to a professional level. I share tools I was given at Juilliard with world class teachers like Bob Krakower and Evan Yionoulis, and through my professional experiences with top industry professionals including Aaron Sorkin, Bart Sher, Richard Thomas, and Peter Friedman. Whether you're working on a self-tape, an upcoming audition, or want a consistent place to practice your craft, I'm the coach for you.
Curriculum
I work one-on-one with each of my acting students: my method is based in listening with specificity, and then helping each artist grow just as my mentors helped me by paying deep attention to my superpowers and some of my weaknesses as an actor. My practice is based on harnessing imagination, a practice taught to me at The Juilliard School, to expand each actor's capacity and potential- no matter their age or experience level. Books that may be assigned include The Actor and the Target, An Actor Prepares, Acting: The First Six Lessons, and several various plays and films from around the world.
