ELISE ROBERTSON
SERVICES
ACTING COACH
KIDS - film/tv/theatre, audition monologues for high school/college
ADULTS - film/tv/theatre
I coach/tape in my home studio in Highland Park or via Zoom/Facetime. If coming in person, bring two copies of your sides (email in advance if possible).
My approach is practical and hands-on. We will focus on:
-
Story - We will explore what your character is doing in the scene and what role you play in the story.
-
Script Breakdown - We will break the scene into specific actionable beats.
-
Blocking - For the camera, the slightest movements can make a huge difference. We will explore blocking that suits your scene arc and address things like whether to sit or stand, to mime or not to mime, eyelines, etc.
-
Confidence - We will find the emotional touchstones that will help you to feel relaxed in the room and excited to share your work.
With 20 years of experience as a working SAG actor, I know what you are up against and how it feels to be in an audition room. I still audition every day!
As a director of film/TV/theater, I bring a director’s perspective to my coaching. I can help you understand your role as part of the story and how you can bring yourself to the role while still fulfilling the needs of the larger piece.
* I work with a lot of kids, and have a fun and interactive approach for your kiddos :)
