INDIVIDUAL COACHING

David has over 20 years of experience coaching actors on auditions, role preparation, as well as rep-building—wherever YOU are artistically, David will meet you there, guiding your authentic self to soar into the material.

You’re getting a coach who as a director has sat '“behind the table” in an audition room; as a professor has taught Audition Skills courses and adjudicated the college-admission process; and as a coach worked with performers of all skills and levels: students working on their college auditions, professional actors in NYC looking to book their next job, and Tony & Grammy Award winning artists preparing for their next projects.

“David helped me explore every aspect of the material. By the time we finished, I had a better understanding of what I was trying to achieve and how to use everything in my toolbox to get there. He is honest and articulate, and he knows how to bring out the best in every performer.”  -Janice Mays Landry

"What was so fabulous about David's class was his laid back coaching style—unlike other classes I have taken, with David I was able to work on multiple things in my book and not just at surface level either. We really dug into the material and found what works with every piece. If you're looking for honest and helpful feedback I highly recommend taking this class." -Hannah Seymour

"I recently graduated and have been used to working with the same teachers and students for four years. After that long period of time, you become really comfortable in the room and willing to share more and take bigger risks. David made that same environment in fifteen minutes. Not only does he have unique insight into your material, he literally gets up there with you and helps you dig through your story, not just tell you how it should be done. I finally figured out how to make those 16/32 bar cuts I always use art." -Liz Fallon

"David's class is by far one of the most beneficial experiences I have had since arriving in New York City. The environment that David creates is professional yet comfortable and relaxed, taking away the intimidation factor and allowing you to really dig into your material. He has an amazing ability of finding creative ways to get you to connect to your songs. His approach is sincere; you can feel that he genuinely wants to see you be the best you can be. After taking David's class I feel 100% more confident going into auditions. I would jump at the chance to take the class again!" -Kaitrin Lynch

"David is a pro. He makes everyone feel comfortable and gets such awesome growth in such a short amount of time. I left feeling like I had tools and a fresh perspective from the work David did that I could apply to my own work on songs old and new.” -Erin Chupinsky
