Acting Gymnasium - Monologue/
From 68.32 C$ /h
Are you an actor looking to refine your craft? Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned professional, I’m here to help you feel more confident. Having studied at the William Esper Studio, in NY, I’m an actress with over 10 years of experience.
In my classes, we can work on a variety of areas:
- Monologues
- Scenes
- Character building
- Diction
- Emotional Preparation
- and whatever else you feel like you need support with
Whether you’re looking to stay active and keep your skills sharp – almost like an acting gymnasium – or you need focused preparation for auditions for plays, movies, or drama schools, I’ve got you covered. I tailor each class to meet your unique needs, ensuring that you feel supported and challenged in a safe, judgment-free space. I create an environment where you can experiment, make mistakes and grow.
I offer lessons in both Portuguese and English, so no matter what language you’re most comfortable with, you can fully immerse yourself in the experience. :)

If you're already comfortable with the basics of English and want to take your skills to the next level, my lessons are perfect for you! I focus on conversation practice and expanding vocabulary, helping you gain confidence in real-world situations. Instead of diving into grammar drills, we’ll work on fluency, pronunciation, and natural expression through interactive discussions on a variety of topics that interest you. These sessions are ideal for intermediate to advanced learners who want to refine their speaking abilities and feel more confident when using English in different social settings.
