Over the years, my son has had several acting & voice coaches. With Stephanie, he not only got a teacher/ coach, he also got a mentor.

2 stars instead of 3 because on this platform 2 means "could have been better" and 3 is "met my expectations". Although I really liked Stephanie personally, accent reduction lessons weren't really worth it. We didn't get past reading some tongue twisters and some text off the book. Lacked the theory behind sounds formation and personalized approach/solution for a particular accent that I have. There was still value in having someone on the other end listening, but I'd really like to have more structured and targeted approach to eliminating my accent.

I finished my last class today. I am very happy what I got from these classes. Stephanie is fabulous! She helped me quickly identify my pronunciation issues, gave me the right tools to improve, and most importantly, helped me build up a habit to pick up (listen) the words I say. I am certainly more confident about my pronunciation than before. And I know how to say the words right. That's awesome!

Stephanie is an excellent teacher and mentor. She is very patient, positive and encouraging. She explains everything in details and makes it easy to change my accent. She has a good ear and within the first 1 or two classes she gives you the top 5 sounds you need to work on. It takes a long time to reduce accent, but even with meeting once a week it was possible to make great progress with Stephanie's help. I highly recommend her to anyone who would like to reduce or change their accents or would like to learn public speaking.

We had known Stephanie since my daughter was 11 years old, and Stephanie had directed her in the show / role that, until today, my daughter considers to be one of her favorite. She loved working with Stephanie then, and so choosing her as daughter's acting coach now when she needed help with Shakespeare material was a no-brainer, especially knowing Stephanie's love for classical theater, and her level of expertise with everything Shakespeare. Last week Stephanie also helped daughter to prepare for a very challenging audition she was very much looking forward to, - with outstanding results.

Teaching Style

I do not teach according to a cookie-cutter system where everyone does the same things and learns exactly the same things. people are at various stages in life and so we assess where you are (which is often different from where you think you are) in your career path and then where you would like to be in three months. then we work together to make a lesson plan (action plan I call it!) to get you there. There is homework but again it is highly individualized for each student and each type of lesson (audition prep, public speaking, etc.)

Curriculum

Depending upon the type of lesson there are certain texts I recommend: for new actors Respect for Acting by Uta Hagen, for more advanced actors Audition by Michael Shurtleff, for public speaking students How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie and for any accent students I have my own methodology. As I am also a working actor I am very up to date on new performance forms (Motion capture, holograms) and as a consultant to DOD casting, Grant Wilfley Casting and many others I can often refer students to casting directors.
